How often should I recieve massage treatments?
I looked up the benefits of massage therapy and it seems there are several. The one thing I noticed is that it helps with depression, which I suffer from. I do not take medication and would not like to. That being said, how often should I go for massages? If anyone has experience in the field or frequently gets massages could help, I'd appreciate it.
Answer:
There are more correlational studies supporting the idea that regular massage sessions can help decrease the symptoms associated with clinical depression. Unfortunately, I have no direct references to support this claim. However, after speaking with a psychiatrist, who within the last year, visited a national educational convention, stated hearing many references to research that supports this concept. Some of the benefits included the regulation of seratonin levels and the decrease of stress-linked sterols in the bloodstream. Most people reported a better sense of well-being in general. These subjects may have received one hour massages once per week for 8-10 weeks. However, once every two weeks should still be effective.
