Excerpt from a conversation (Ben Greenfield video) about massage duration and recommended frequency. Speaker(s) discuss typical session lengths (60–90 minutes, 75-minute option, 90–120 minutes preferred by Ben) and advise an initial maintenance schedule of 3–4 sessions within 45 days to 'train' tissue before moving to maintenance visits.
How long is like an average massage? Typically 60 minutes to 90 minutes. I do offer 75 minutes which I like because it's the perfect amount in between both.
Ben typically does 90 minimum two hours typically. This is kind of what I tell people. So let's say somebody comes in and they haven't had a massage or a lot of massage and I can tell that they are, this is something they need to have maintenance in their life. My spill is try to come back to me within three or four times within a 45 day period. That lets me train the tissue because you come in once a month and you're flexible flexing right here. You're always going to be flexing right here. I have to train each time you come to open up that tissue and I'm trying to get it, you know, from here to here and then you do maintenance here. You're flexing here as opposed to flexing here.
