Massage aftercare advice ….

***Drink plenty of water - During a massage, built-up toxins are released and need to be expelled from your body. Your kidneys do the brilliant job but they need water to work and push these free radicals out. If you’re feeling lingering soreness after a deep tissue massage, water is also the primary solution. Simply drinking some extra water can help to shift soreness. Massages can also be quite dehydrating. They often take place in a warm environment and your massage therapist is actively encouraging your soft tissues to expel water. So the best thing to do after a massage is to have a drink of water to get your hydration back up.

***Stay relaxed - One of the best ways to capitalise on the post-massage wonderful feeling is to actively choose to stay relaxed. Don’t rush back out into normal life. Also try relaxing the mind as well as the body. Put on some peaceful music, meditate, or simply read a good book. Basic deep breathing can also help you to feel centred and calm.

***Avoid alcohol and caffeine - Abstaining from caffeine and alcohol for at least 12 hours after a massage will help to make you feel good. Both are dehydrating and won’t help your body eliminate the toxins that are on the move thanks to the massage.

***Don’t stay to still - Whilst some relaxation and avoiding strenuous activity helps to prolong the effects of massage, don’t stay completely still either. If you’re back at a desk or screen, make sure you get up and move about occasionally. In the few hours after a massage, do some gentle stretches. This can help to relieve pain after a massage. Move around, or go for a gentle walk. Hold stretches for around 30 seconds each to ensure they are most effective.

***Correct your posture - A massage can help to loosen muscles, enabling you to avoid the niggling pain of poor posture. If, immediately after a massage, you simply go back to your old poor posture habits then the same issue will build up again. Use the post-massage hours to keep your posture in check so that muscles relax into place with ease. Mentally scan your body. If you can feel a tense muscle then consciously relax it. If that’s tricky to do, tense the muscle more first and this will help you to actively relax it.

***Book another massage - You will hold onto that post-massage feeling longer if you know you’ve got your next massage already booked in. You can look forward to knowing that it won’t be long until you are in blissful massage heaven again.

Self care is different for everyone, but it is about the things we can do to look after our own mental, emotional and physical health.

*It may be spending time alone, reading a book or listening to music.
*It might be spending time with supportive friends.
*It may be going for a run or taking part in a fitness class.
*It might be getting a massage, which can help to reduce stress, calm your nervous system and promote a sense of well-being.

Whatever is your thing, it should promote health and happiness for you 💙

Everyone is different when having a massage, there is not one fit that suits all, so remember to tell your massage therapist the following ….

***You are in pain …. Deep tissue massage may cause some discomfort but it should NEVER be painful.

***You need the massage pressure adjusting …. Either firmer or lighter.

***You just want to relax …. A relaxing massage can be just as therapeutic.

***You have any medical conditions …. Any new or pre-existing condition. This may affect whether you are able to have a massage.

The massage is for you, so it is important you get the most out of it. But more importantly, you should enjoy it 💙
