Choosing the Duration of Massage Treatment

Published 23 January 2025

Not sure how long your massage session should be? Here are some tips to help you decide:

1️⃣ The Severity of Your Pain or Issue

💢 If you’ve been dealing with discomfort for a long time or have multiple problem areas, a longer session may be more effective. Chronic issues often take time to address properly.

2️⃣ Your Body Type

👩‍🦰 Smaller or slimmer clients: Problem areas can often be addressed efficiently in a 75-minute session.

👨‍🦳 Larger or more muscular clients: It may take longer to work deeper into tissues or reach multiple areas, so a 90-minute or even 120-minute session might be better.

3️⃣ Your Goals

✨ Relaxation: A 60-minute massage might be perfect.

🎯 Pain relief or deep work: Consider longer sessions for focused results or a full-body reset.

💡 Pro tip: Investing the right amount of time can make a huge difference in how you feel afterward.
