Healing Reactions

After receiving your massage treatment 'Healing Reactions’ may take place these are completely normal and show that your massage is working and your body is responding to the treatment.

These may include:

• Fatigue or tiredness
• Increased sweating or body warmth due to increased blood circulation
• Increase in urination due to the body releasing toxins
• Feeling energised
• Runny, stuffy or blocked nose
• Less stressed, more relaxed and improved sleep

After Your Massage

After your massage treatment you should:

Drink plenty of water

This helps to eliminate toxins and lactic acid build up developed during the massage treatment

Relax

Take it easy for the rest of the day, if you can you should have a nap to reset your body

Hot Bath

A hot bath after your massage can relieve any aching and soreness that may develop after your treatment. Don't worry as this is short lived whilst the muscles begin to heal

Avoid

Avoiding alcohol, smoking, caffeine and fizzy drinks will aid your massage in healing your body. Consuming any of these can slow the healing process and can add toxins to your body
