It is not uncommon to experience muscle soreness a day or two after your massage treatment. The soreness is a result of direct contact with spasms in the muscle, as well as accumulated waste products in the tissue being naturally released into your system. This is similar to what many people experience after strenuous activity. This too shall pass…
Drinking plenty of water will help flush the released toxins out of your body, and soaking in a warm bath with Epson or mineral salts will assist in alleviating any soreness.
Your massage experience should be both pleasant and beneficial. We hope it will be the beginning of a life-long practice to help you enjoy the best possible health and wellness.
After your massage treatment, it is important to stretch out your muscles to keep them strong and flexible. Without stretching, your muscles will become tight and cause difficulty the next time your are active/ work out.
Doing some simple stretches after a massage or on a daily basis will improve your motion range and increase blood flow. This form of self-care will have your muscles feeling calm and healthy.
