There’s no better feeling than pure serenity after a rejuvenating massage appointment. To prolong your relaxation and well-being post-session, the therapeutic massage sages at MassageLuXe recommend several ways to enrich the after care process.  

By honoring your body, you can the most of your massage. Here are the best ways to care for yourself when you arrive home: 

• Drink Plenty Of Water: Sipping on water after a massage will help you flush out the toxins that your masseuse worked to eliminate. To help the massage do its job, it’s also recommended for you to avoid alcohol or caffeine for 24 hours.
• Get Some Rest: You may feel tired after your massage. This is common. Let your body rest if it needs to. Don’t push yourself. Try and schedule your appointment at a time when you are free for the rest of the day, so you can truly de-stress. 
• Eat A Light Meal: As your body adjusts afterward, many people find a light meal is best.
• Stretch Lightly: A light stretch, particularly after a deep tissue massage, can help reduce muscle aches or stiffness. 
• Ice Your Muscles: A deep tissue massage may also require icing in sore or painful areas afterward. Ask your massage therapist what they recommend for you. 
• Keep Warm: Many people report a chilly feeling for a few hours after a massage therapy appointment. Keep warm with a cozy blanket. 
• Be Patient: Your body may take a day to adjust; take time for yourself. The long-term relief that comes from a regular massage far outweighs the minor aftercare.
