Massage Aftercare Tips

Taking care of yourself after a massage enhances the benefits and helps your body recover properly. Here’s what to do:

💧 1. Stay Hydrated

• Drink plenty of water to help flush out toxins released during the massage.

• Avoid alcohol and caffeine for several hours afterward.

🧘 2. Rest and Relax

• Allow your body time to recover—avoid intense workouts immediately after.

• Take it easy for the rest of the day, especially after deep tissue or therapeutic work.

🛁 3. Take a Warm Bath

• A warm bath with Epsom salts (if not contraindicated) can ease any soreness and continue the muscle-relaxing effect.

⚠️ 4. Expect Some Soreness

• Mild soreness, especially after deep work, is normal and should fade within 24–48 hours.

• Use a cold compress if you're feeling extra tender, or warm compress to relax tight spots.

💬 5. Listen to Your Body

• Take note of how your body responds—share this with your therapist before your next session for more personalized care.

⏰ 6. Book Your Next Session

• Regular massages provide more long-term benefits. Ask your therapist about a plan that fits your goals.
