Massage therapy can positively affect your body and mind in numerous ways.

It's important to understand and appreciate these effects as you leave your session to ensure your overall well-being and health.

After a massage, many report feeling a wide range of different sensations, which is completely normal and to be expected during the recovery process.

Here are some key points to keep in mind after your therapy session, along with some helpful actions that can aid your recovery and greatly enhance your overall experience.

• It’s important to prioritise self-care for optimal recovery and benefits.

• Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and help flush out toxins released during the treatments.

• Rest is crucial, so allow your body time to recover; consider avoiding strenuous activities for at least 24 hours. If you experience any soreness, gentle stretching or warm baths can be soothing.

• Pay attention to your body's signals and avoid consuming alcohol or caffeine immediately after the therapy.

  There are several activities to avoid after a massage to ensure optimal recovery and benefits. Here are some key points:

• Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine: Both can dehydrate your body and counteract the relaxation effects of the massage.

• Skip Strenuous Activities: Refrain from heavy exercise or physical exertion for at least 24 hours to allow your muscles to recover.

• Do Not Take Hot Baths or Showers Immediately: While a warm bath may feel good, avoid hot baths right after a massage as it can exacerbate muscle tenderness.

• Limit Direct Sun Exposure: If cupping therapy was performed, avoid sun exposure on the cupping marks as this can worsen skin irritation.

• Don’t Ignore Soreness: While some discomfort is normal, severe pain should be reported to your therapist or a healthcare provider.

• Following these guidelines can help enhance the benefits of your massage and support overall well-being.
