A member asked:
How many massage sessions would i need for chronic body tension and muscle knots?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: You need to look at the cause of the chronic body tension. The massage sessions will on help treat the problem, but it will not resolve until you address what is causing the problem in the first place. Never do more than 4 sessions without expecting some improvement.
