• How often should one get massage therapy?

I get massage therapy at least once a month to relax, and I find that it really helps my fibromyalgia. I'd like to go to more sessions. How often do you think one should get massage therapy for fibromyalgia?

Once a month is great for maintenance. Due to the complexity of fibromyalygia once a week or once every two weeks will benefit you well. Just make sure you have a therapist that understands fibromyalygia and how it affects 'Your' body. It is different for every person

If what you are receiving currently is helping, it would seem going twice a month could help the relief more consistently, or longer. There are no ‘shoulds’. Everyone’s experience is different. Trust your body.

As often as needed. More if you body is under more stress or strains or in more discomfort. Less if you’re feeling good. 1-2 times a month is a great amount to settle into though.

Good Question. I always suggest what can you afford the time and money-wise. Most clients go once or twice a month. Every week would be great if you have the time and funds to do so. If you are there for more than needing a massage for relaxation, then go more often until you are feeling better. Once or twice a month.

If you're getting a light to medium massage there's no reason you can't get one every week. I'm glad it makes you feel better!

Depending on the severity of the pain once or twice a week is good. There isn't a set amount of how many times one should get a massage. Just try it out and see how it feels
