If I could afford it I certainly would have them all the time.

I have just started to get regular massages and I wished I had earlier. My body feels it’s muscles are stretching than relax on completion. Fantastic idea

yeah i couldn’t have one every month but it sure sounds beneficial

I have one once in a blue moon but not as often as I would like.

Ooh, I would love a regular massage. I guess with any pampering, we do it sparingly. I have asked the question of how regularly can I have a facial (about every 6 weeks), but hadn’t considered the regularity of a massage. I’m all for this one.

I’d love to be able to have regular massages but unfortunately they’re not cheap. Plus I’d have to drive 2 hours just to get one.

The Rolfing remedial massage I had fixed a lower back problem that I had for 20 years only after 2 – 90 minutes treatments. I found a Rolfer therapist who is only working as a remedial massager as Australia has yet to recognise this form of therapy officially. No health funds recognise this therapy. After years of physio, osteopathic, chiropractic and acupuncture that never fix the problem, I am now pain free. I have my 3 monthly tune up at my own expense and it is worth every cent. I am a senior in my 60 decades and not into gyms.
I strongly urge people to give this a go before seeking medical orthopedic treatment that usually results in some form of surgery.

Would love to but too expensive.

  But the idea is lovely and monthly sounds great !!

Love the idea, but they are priced way out of my lifestyle costs. $50 or $75 a visit just can’t be justified in our household.

make sure your therapist is properly trained to prevent further injury.

After reading this article, I will make an extra effort to pamper myself with a massage once a month. Stress affects your skin, eyes, hair and happiness among other things and we should try this simple remedy to be the best we can be for everyone around us.

This is something I want to start doing, I agree the cost seems large but I guess if you are healthier from it, then other costs should go down right?!
One question, how long should the massage be? 1/2 hour? 1 hour?

even more reasons to have a massage. Shame I didn’t want people massaging me for so long. Also, if these benefits improve your health, then more insurance funds should allow them as a deduction/reimbursement.

I notice there is no mention of the average cost. Money doesn’t grow on trees…unfortunately.

  I have found that cost varies from therapist to therapist.

I’ve never had a massage because of the cost.

I would love to be able to afford such a massage every month! I’m sure it would give great benefits to our bodies!!

No I don’t but I would love to have a monthly massage when I would have the money.
Lol, I even cut my own hair to safe money from the hairdressers…

My husband tries to make sure he sends me off for a massage regularly… It’s a bit of a cost, though.

oh wow it sounds like I should be doing this! – I never knew that it would have all those benefits – thanks for sharing the article

It would be wonderful to have a monthly massage though not possible at this stage!
