How to get the most out of your massage




Once the therapists hands leave your body that's when the real work begins.

What you do afterwards counts almost as much as the massage itself. There's a world of difference between getting off the couch and taking a nice relaxing bath or having a nap and going to the supermarket to do the weekly shop.

To allow the body and mind to absorb the effects of the massage here's what to do:

* Please drink plenty of fresh water, to assist the natural detoxification process

* Avoid over-exerting the body with lots of immediate physical exercise

* Eat a light diet, to encourage detoxification of the digestive system.

* Avoid alcohol, smoking, and caffeine, as this can inhibit the release of toxins - in fact you're re-toxing

If nothing else try and relax for at LEAST one hour after your massage.
