This is why 'binge massage' approaches don't work particularly well. Getting three massages in one week, then none for three months, produces fewer benefits than one massage every 3 weeks for the same total session count. Consistency beats intensity.

For Athletic Recovery
Athletes and physically active people generally benefit from more frequent massage than sedentary guests. During heavy training cycles (marathon prep, surf season, weightlifting cycles), weekly sessions are common and well-supported by sports medicine literature.
For recreational athletes and weekend warriors, every 2 weeks during active months dropping to monthly during off-season works well. The Imperial Beach surf community, for example, often ramps up to bi-weekly during heavy swell seasons.
