Been out of the loop with things for a while but had a wonderful client in tonight ☺️
Safe to say I remembered exactly WHY I do this.....❤️
Love seeing people "massage drunk" as it means I have done my job as a massage therapist 🥰 plus you dont get the hangover 🤪
So......I thought I would take the opportunity to explain just what the term massage drunk means.....
💆♀️ If you have ever felt a little “loopy” after a massage...like you just floated off the table, forgot your name, and walked into a wall? Congrats—you’ve been massage drunk. 😵💫
But don’t worry—it’s totally normal, and here’s why:
🧠 Your brain is chillin’. Massage triggers your parasympathetic nervous system (aka your rest and digest mode), lowering stress hormones like cortisol and increasing feel-good ones like serotonin and dopamine.
💨 Oxygen + circulation boost. As your muscles relax and circulation improves, your brain gets more oxygen—and sometimes that sudden boost can leave you feeling light-headed or dreamy.
🫀 Blood pressure + heart rate drop. Your body enters a deeply relaxed state, and that drop can make you feel a bit “floaty” or slow.
🧼 Toxin release - The body releases metabolic waste during massage—like lactic acid and urea out of tissues and into the bloodstream for the kidneys and liver to process. This could add to the temporary woozy feeling.
🥱 You’re THAT relaxed. Sometimes, your body just isn’t used to slowing down. So when it finally gets the chance, it feels like you’ve been hit with a bliss bomb.
Massage drunk = deeply relaxed, slightly dazed, and 100% worth it.
Pro tip: Drink water, take it slow, and enjoy the afterglow. Your body is thanking you.
Come get massage drunk with me! DM now to book in!
