“How often should busy people have massages?”
I am a 37-year old mom and have a full time job so I'm extremely busy. I really need to relax more and I'm wondering how often should people have massages to help them relax?

It is up to each person. Massage is designed to release the tension from your musculo-skeletal system. Doing so prevents pain from the constricted muscles. Massage releases toxins that build up from stress and it’s important to “flush” them out. This can be beneficial on a weekly, bimonthly or monthly basis.

Many X-factors go into this answer. Generally I would say once a week for the first 3-4 weeks, then once or twice a month.
Some of my clients receive massage once a week and benefit greatly. Try exploring options that work in your schedule. Consider a massage after work a few times a month to start and go from there.
I get a massage every 2 weeks and an energy healing session every month with my mentor. If I don't do this, I start to feel icky. How often you get a massage is completely up to you. I have a client that is very stressed out right now. He gets a massage every week. I'd say it ranges from every week to once per month. I wouldn't go less that once per month though, especially if your a little stress ball.
How often depends on the person's body. Once a week is normal, but for some that isn't enough, for some it's too much. I wouldn't do more than once a week since it's just for relaxation. More than once a week is usually for treatment purposes.
Hope this helps! Good luck.
