Remember to stay hydrated after your massage therapy appointment!
Massage promotes the circulation of both the blood and the lymphatic system. During a massage, your therapist works out any muscle tension, which releases metabolic waste. That increased circulation and muscle kneading promote fluid pumping out of the soft tissue and into the circulatory system, which heads to the kidneys to be flushed from the body.
Drinking water supports the elimination of toxins from the body, replenishes lost fluids, aids in healthy circulation, and helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and organs.
Staying hydrated can be especially important if you receive a deep tissue massage, as the increased intensity can cause further dehydration.
Listen to your practitioner and drink water. đź’§
