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

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
