The frequency of your massage schedule varies based on your purpose and the need of your body. If you are having massages for stress relief, 4-6 weeks is usually enough. However, it mainly depends on the usage of your body, it is generally recommended for people to have a massage regularly every 1-3 weeks, especially for those with pain or strains, athletes, blue-collar workers, or those exposed to ergonomic hazards.

It is helpful for pregnant women to have regular massages, especially near the end of their pregnancy, to reduce anxiety, muscle aches and joint pains and improve labour outcomes.

To help our clients access regular massage more cost-efficiently, Better Health & Wellness has a membership system which allows members to commit to regular treatments at a preferred rate.

When booking your appointment, please ensure that your treatment is covered by your health insurance provider, or look through your benefit booklet, which should list which services are covered and at what percentage.

Ensure your healthcare provider is a practitioner or therapist registered with an affiliated association or college to provide coverage for your professional treatment.

Obtain a receipt after your treatment with all of the required information and file a claim to your health insurance company.

Sleeping through a massage is a very natural and healthy reaction. Massages elicits the parasympathetic nervous system response and create a return to rest and digest. Additionally, massage can lower stress hormones while increasing dopamine and endorphin levels that help improve mood and decrease pain.

In other words, if massage makes you sleepy, it’s because the body is literally resting and revitalizing itself.
