After Your Massage

Massage therapy works deeply with muscles and connective tissue. After a session, your body may continue adjusting for the next 24–48 hours. Following these simple guidelines can help support recovery and prolong the benefits of your treatment.

​

Hydration

Drink extra water after your massage. Proper hydration supports circulation and helps your body recover as tissues adjust following therapeutic work.

​

Detox Bath

A warm bath can help relax the muscles and keep your body feeling loose after treatment.

Add 1 cup of Epsom salts and 1 cup of baking soda to a comfortably hot bath.
Soak for at least 15 minutes and drink about 20 ounces of purified water while you are in the bath.

Many clients find this especially helpful after deep work.

​

Mild Soreness

It is normal to experience mild soreness after therapeutic or deep tissue massage, similar to how muscles may feel after exercise. This typically resolves within 24–48 hours.

If soreness occurs, gentle movement, hydration, and a warm bath can help.

​

Heat or Ice

If an area feels sore or inflamed:

 

• Heat can help relax tight muscles and improve circulation.

• Ice may help calm localized inflammation or tenderness.

• Rotating between heat and ice can be very effective 

​​

Gentle Movement

Light stretching and normal daily movement can help your body integrate the work from the session. Avoid intense workouts immediately after deep treatment if areas feel tender.
