Give yourself the gift of deep relaxation and wellness with a professional foot massage. The pain relief and relaxation can last well beyond your massage appointment, and you can get the most out of your treatment by doing some post-massage self-care. Here’s how to maximize your foot massage results.

4 Foot Care Tips to Follow After a Massage

1. Hydrate

Water is vital to your body’s health and recovery. It helps your muscles rebuild and flushes away toxins. For 24 hours after your massage, increase your water intake by a few glasses to give yourself optimal hydration.

2. Take a Bath

A warm bath with Epsom salt will deepen your relaxation and keep circulation flowing. The warm water will ease any inflammation in your body and prolong the benefits of your massage by keeping the muscles and tendons loose. Hot showers can be a quick substitute if you don’t have time to soak in the tub.

3. Sleep Well

You might feel tired after your massage puts in you a state of deep relaxation. Allow your body to succumb to the sensation by taking a 30-minute nap. You’ll wake up feeling refreshed and ready to tackle the rest of your day. If you don’t have time for a nap, try going to bed early, so your body has time to rebuild muscle while you sleep.

4. Nourish Yourself

The tissues in your feet will need to repair themselves after your massage, so avoid sugary foods your body can’t use to recover. Choose lean proteins, like salmon or chicken, and leafy green veggies with antioxidants such as spinach.
