It is the most common question after a first session: when should I come back? The honest answer is that it depends on your body and your goal. Still, a few patterns hold for most people.
Starting out: closer together
Change from stretching builds on itself. In the first few weeks, sessions about a week apart tend to work best, because each one picks up where the last left off instead of starting over. Three or four sessions on that rhythm is a common way to begin.
Once things settle: spread out
When your new range of motion starts to hold between visits, you can space sessions further apart. Every two to four weeks is a common maintenance rhythm.
The sign that you waited too long is simple: the old stiffness is back before you are.
What changes the answer
Your goal. Training for an event or working on one stubborn restriction usually means more frequent sessions for a while. General upkeep needs less.
Your days. Long hours at a desk or behind the wheel pull your body back toward the same positions. More sitting usually means more upkeep.
Your training load. Hard training weeks create more tightness. Many athletes stretch more often in season and less in the off season.
What you do in between. A few minutes of daily movement helps results last. We will show you what to do at home.
Session length matters too
A 60-minute session covers the whole body. A 30-minute session focuses on one area, so it works well as a top-up between longer visits. Not sure which to pick? Read our guide to choosing a session length.
The short answer
Start with one session. At the end you will get a recommendation based on how your body responded, and from there the schedule is yours to set.
One note: stretch therapy is not medical treatment. If you are dealing with an injury or a diagnosed condition, check with your doctor about what is right for you.
Next step: start with one
One session is enough to know how your body responds. Book your first session and we will build the plan from there.
