How Often Should You Get Myofascial Release Bodywork?

Myofascial Bodywork is a technique that will help you recover for your next workout and more!

I get asked all the time: "How often should I get this type of bodywork?" And my answer? It depends.

I know, I know—you want a straight answer. But here’s the deal about receiving Myofascial Release Bodywork: it really comes down to how quickly you want that pain and tension out of your body and how much maintenance you’re willing to put in between sessions.

The Fastest Route: Weekly for Four Weeks of Myofascial Release Bodywork

If you’re dealing with chronic tension, nagging pain, or recovering from an injury, weekly sessions for four weeks are your best bet. It allows us to break through patterns of restriction, retrain your muscles, and actually make progress instead of just chasing the same issues every time you come in.

The Solid Middle Ground: Every Other Week

You can totally get away with every other week if you’re staying active with recovery work in between (yes, that means doing your homework—stretching, mobility drills, hydration, all the good stuff). This keeps you from slipping back into the same patterns while giving your body enough time to adapt.

The "Don’t Make Me Start Over" Approach: Every 3–4 Weeks

At this point, I suggest going for a 90-minute session. Why? Because if we’re only working together once a month and you’re not keeping up with maintenance, we’re kind of starting over every time. Think of it as a reset button—just with a little extra work each time to catch up.

The Maintenance Plan: Monthly

If your body is already moving well and you just want to keep it that way, a once-a-month session is a great way to stay ahead of tension and prevent injuries. This works best if you’re consistent with your mobility work, movement prep, and recovery between sessions.

The Harsh Truth? Your Body Changes Daily

What worked last month might not be enough next month. Age, activity levels, stress, and even how well you slept last night all play a role. So, listen to your body, and let’s find a rhythm that keeps you moving pain-free for the long haul.
