AFTERCARE ADVICE FOR MASSAGE

Voice your opinion

I want to know! Provide feedback to ensure you get the most out of your massage therapy sessions. Let me know what worked and what didn't, and what you absolutely loved! I can then re create what is unique to you every time 😊

Sip, Hydrate, Repeat

Rehydrate after massage to help reduce muscle soreness. Research suggests that adequate hydration can improve muscle function and reduce muscle cramping. Consider consuming electrolyte-rich drinks, such as coconut water, to replenish lost electrolytes.

Fuel, Recover, Relax

Continue the self care by having a nourishing meal after your treatment. Consuming protein after massage can help promote muscle recovery and repair. Research suggests that protein intake can reduce muscle soreness and aid recovery.

Stretch, Breathe, Relax

Stretching and deep breathing can help reduce muscle tension, improve flexibility, and promote relaxation. Research shows that stretching can decrease cortisol levels, heart rate, and blood pressure, while increasing feelings of relaxation and reducing muscle soreness. Deep breathing, in particular, can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a state of calm and reducing stress. A leisurely walk after or next day can help reduce stiffness, muscle soreness and promote blood flow.

Drift to Dreamland

After a rejuvenating massage, give your body the gift of restful sleep. Research shows that sleep plays a crucial role in muscle recovery and repair, allowing your body to rebuild and recharge. An early night can help regulate your body's natural rhythms, promoting deeper relaxation and reducing muscle soreness.

Post Massage Check-in

I want to ensure you're feeling amazing after your massage! If you experience any lingering discomfort or soreness that persists beyond 72 hours, please don't hesitate to let me know. Your feedback is crucial in helping me refine my techniques and provide the best possible experience for you.

I'm committed to your comfort and well-being, and I want to make sure you're getting the most out of your massage therapy.

Slow down. Breathe deep. Let go.

In our fast-paced world, it's easy to get caught up in stress and tension. That's why I'm dedicated to providing a calm unhurried, and intentional experience to the massage. My approach is nurturing, intuitive yet powerful - coaxing out knots and kinks, and soothing muscle tissue.

Book your appointment today and discover the bliss of slowing down.

Relaxation mode activated! Hot stones are in full swing for a client battling chronic neck pain. This modality can help reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and melt away stress. By applying gentle heat to specific areas, hot stone therapy can increase range of motion, reduce pain and inflammation, and promote deep relaxation.

Roots are the foundation of life, connecting us to the earth and anchoring us through the storms of time. Just like these beautiful tree roots, our own roots—our values, our heritage, and the people who ground us—give us strength and nourishment.

Roots remind us of the importance of grounding—of being present, steady, and connected to the earth beneath us. In a fast-paced world, grounding allows us to find balance and stability, much like these roots hold the tree firm and resilient.

Take a moment today to reflect on your roots. What grounds you? What supports your growth? Let this image be a reminder to stay connected to the things that truly matter, just as these roots remain intertwined with the earth, flourishing in their quiet strength
