Massage therapy usually last one hour. This gives enough time to relax the body and address specific problems. A half-hour can be used as an introduction to massage or address specific area only. After massage you should feel relaxed. Give yourself time to slowly get up.
Many people experience freedom from pain and aches that have built over months of tension.
After an initial period of feeling slowed down, many people experience an increase in energy that can last for days. At the beginning, two to three sessions a week apart are the best to give us maximum benefits as every massage session accumulates the gains from previous sessions. After that about once a month seems to be the most beneficial for massage to keep its positive effects.
