To maximize the healing benefits of your massage and help your body recover, we recommend the following: 1. Drink Plenty of Water Deep tissue massage stimulates circulation and lymphatic flow. Hydration helps flush out released toxins and prevents soreness. 2. Rest and Relax Give your body time to absorb the effects. Avoid intense workouts or heavy lifting for at least 24 hours. 3. Eat Light & Nourishing Meals Opt for a healthy, light meal post-massage to support your body's natural detox process. 4. Apply Heat, Not Ice If you feel soreness, a warm bath or heating pad can relax muscles and improve blood flow. 5. Stretch Gently Slow, mindful stretching can help maintain improved flexibility and keep muscles supple. 6. Avoid Alcohol or Caffeine These can dehydrate your body and counteract the detoxifying benefits of the massage. 7. Listen to Your Body It’s normal to feel a bit sore. However, if you feel sharp or prolonged pain, let your therapist know at your next visit. 8. Book Your Next Session For long-term results, regular sessions (every 2–4 weeks) are ideal for managing stress, tension, and mobility.
