Aftercare for Massage-Including all treatments

1. Some people get a healing reaction after a treatment which may leave you with nausea or feeling heady.

2. Please increase water intake after your treatment. This helps with dehydration, lost fluids, reduces fatigue, as well as helps eliminate toxins from your body.

3. Avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine for 12 hours, as they have dehydrating properties. You may feel alcohol more due to lymphatic drainage during your massage.

4. Avoid strenuous activity for the next 12 hours, to help your body relax and de-stress further.

5. Practice regular deep breathing to reduce stress and tension.

6. When sitting in front of a computer for longer than 20 minutes, stand up to stretch and gently warm up your joints.

7. Massage treatments work best, when performed on a regular basis. Make sure to book your next session promptly. I recommend once a week for 4 sessions or until tension has reduced or every 2 weeks for 4 sessions and then once a month or once every two months as prevention is key.

8. If you've had cupping the red marks may feel tender. Completely normal. Hot showers may make them feel tender but feel free to take one after 24 hours.

9. Cupping marks may last up to 10 days, they can however go within a few hours and usually last for 7 on average.

10. Petichea from Gua Sha may last up until 10 days too.

11. This is only guidance for cupping, marks may last longer on you as an individual. I cannot gurantee how long they'll last.

12. If you feel achy after your massage try having a magnesium salt bath (please increase water intake)
