A member asked:
Is it safe to get a massage once a week? what about deep tissue massage? how often should i get one in order to relieve tension & to stay relaxed?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Weekly massage: is ok as long as there are no contraindications such as disk problems, bruising, etc. Please check w/doc to make sure health is good for it. Circulation of lympathic fluid is a major benefit, greater than deep tissue in my opinion. Psychological relaxation is another benefit. Peace and good health.
