Guzzle water with relish (lots of it!)
You've heard it hundreds of times in your life before, but we avow the following advice: drink a good amount of mineral water after a massage. Not only will it rehydrate your body but also flush out waste products and toxins that harm your body. Ignore all alcohol and coffee beverages as these can limit your body's ability to properly hydrate.
Spare some time to relax
While an excuse to relax can always be drummed up by your internal whims and fancies, actually doing so after a massage is an excellent decision. Avoid strenuous or stressful activity — such as exercise or work — for the remainder of the day. Your skin and muscles have been given a veritable workout and require time to bounce back to its natural and normal state of being. Don’t worry, your gym isn't going anywhere!
Eat food
A good massage quickens your body's functions, like your digestive system and blood circulation. So by the time your massage session ends, you may feel hungry growls in your stomach! Bring a snack to eat following the expert massage. Proceed to eat lightly for the rest of the day, as big meals will make you feel lethargic.
Be attentive to your body’s reactions
Noticing your body's reaction to the massage can prepare you well for your next session. Did it have you tap into a previously undiscovered reservoir of energy? Book your next appointment in the morning so that this burst of energy lasts through the day. Did you feel sluggish after the completed session? Be sure you can take the rest of the day off so you can chill and relax.
Pour a bath
A hot steaming bath with luxuriant bath salts is always great for soothing the mind and body. We recommend Epsom bath salts for sore muscles — they promote good blood circulation and temper all aches. If a bath is impossible, a hot shower where you use a soft shower sponge works, too.
Explore your emotions
Massages work wonders for the overactive mind, as well as the stressed out body — they can truly rejuvenate your spirit. It's normal to release a range of emotive ideas and thoughts during or after a massage as your body unwinds. Embrace it, explore it, as a good cry can prove to be downright cathartic for yourself. It can ultimately pave the way for loving yourself more.
