I get asked this question a lot. It really depends on your lifestyle, but in general getting a massage once a month makes a difference. Its even better if you can afford to get them more often, but I know it doesn't always fit into people's budget.
Think of it this way though. Going to movies and then out to eat at a nice restaurant with drinks, plus parking can easily run you $100+. Sure it may be a relaxing evening, but what are the lasting benefits? Whereas, for the same or less you can get a relaxing massage and have many positive benefits from it. See List Below

You might be thinking I've seen massage advertised for less. You have. Corporate chains or franchises can offer them for less, but they also pay their therapists a lot less. It is like comparing a chef to a cook. Our therapists, including myself, are highly trained and have been educated at the reknowned Muscular Therapy Institute for two years. The Johnson & Wales of massage. So ask yourself do you want McSsage or a Massage?
