What should I do before and after my session?

It is recommended that you drink plenty of water before and after your massage therapy session. By doing this, you make it easier for your muscles to hydrate and give the body plenty of fluids to wash out toxins that are pushed out of the muscles during the massage.

We also recommend that before you start your session, you use the restroom so that you don’t have to interrupt your session.

During your session, slow and deepen your breathing, allowing your body to soften more and more with each exhale.

After your session you may feel very relaxed. Some experience freedom from long-term aches and pains developed from tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience increased energy, heightened awareness, and greater productivity which can last for days.

Allow yourself a good night’s sleep after your massage and let your body fully regenerate and revitalize.

It is possible you will experience soreness after your session.  The soreness should be similiar to how you feel a few days after a good workout.  If the pain continues or become severe, please contact us immediately.

Many people experience less discomfort in between their sessions as they continue regular massages.  We recommend our clients to keep notes of how they feel mentally and physically in between sessions to remind them how they are improving from their sessions.
