If you want a Thai massage for the treatment of a chronic condition such as migraines, neck aches and backaches, the best strategy is to start with more frequent Thai massage sessions, and then slowly decrease the frequency of your visits as your muscles elongate and relax. For overly contracted muscles, you can start with bi-weekly visits for four to six weeks. If you have an acute condition such as a muscle strain or muscle spasms, you might want to consider weekly Thai massages for four to six weeks. Then, with self-care, you can reduce your number of visits to a maintenance schedule that is right for you, typically about once a month.
