Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and stay hydrated.
Rest: Allow your body time to relax and absorb the benefits of your massage.
Avoid Strenuous Activities: Give your muscles time to recover; avoid heavy lifting or intense exercise.
Stretching: Gentle stretches can maintain flexibility and enhance relaxation.
Healthy Snack: Refuel with a light, nutritious snack like fruit or nuts.
Avoid Alcohol & coffee :
Drinking alcoholic and caffeinated beverages cannot encourage the hydration and detox process. The advantages of massage, such as improved blood circulation and reduced muscle tension, may also be affected. Drinking alcohol should be avoided for at least 12 to 24 hours following a massage.
Reflection: Take a moment to notice how your body feels and any areas that feel improved.
Self-Care: Enhance relaxation with activities like a warm bath, meditation, or quiet reading.
Shower Tips: Wait at least an hour before taking a shower after your massage. When you do, use warm water instead of hot water to avoid overstimulating your relaxed muscles.
