Aftercare

Aftercare Advice At Balanced with Becs, we’re committed to ensuring that your massage experience not only promotes relaxation but also contributes to your long-term well-being. To maximize the benefits of your treatment and support your recovery, please follow these aftercare guidelines: 1. Hydration Drink plenty of water after your massage to help flush out toxins that may have been released during the treatment. Aim for at least 2-3 glasses in the hours following your session. 2. Rest Take it easy for the rest of the day. Allow your body to absorb the full benefits of the treatment. Avoid strenuous activity for the first 24-48 hours. 3. Gentle Movement Light stretching or gentle movement can help keep muscles relaxed and prevent stiffness. However, avoid heavy exercise for 24 hours after your massage. 4. Heat and Cold Therapy If you experience soreness or tightness, apply a cold compress (such as an ice pack) to the affected area for 10-15 minutes. After 24 hours, a warm compress or bath can help relax the muscles further. 5. Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine For optimal recovery, avoid alcohol and excessive caffeine in the 24 hours after your massage, as they can dehydrate your body and hinder the healing process. 6. Skin Care If oils or lotions were used during your massage, you may wash them off after a few hours, or leave them on overnight to nourish your skin. Use gentle, moisturizing products to maintain hydration and softness. 7. Aromatherapy Blends by Balanced with Becs Before using your aromatherapy blend, do a patch test by applying a small amount to a discreet area of skin to check for any sensitivities. If irritation, redness, or discomfort occurs, discontinue use immediately and wash the area with mild soap and water. Always store your blend in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If any reactions persist or you have concerns, please consult a healthcare professional. 8. Muscle Soreness Mild muscle soreness or tenderness is common in the 24-48 hours after your massage as your body adjusts to the release of tension. This should subside within a couple of days. If discomfort becomes severe or lasts longer, please reach out for further guidance. 9. Feedback Your experience is important to us. If you experience any unusual discomfort or issues after your massage, please contact me. Your feedback helps us tailor future treatments to better suit your needs. By following these aftercare tips, you’ll enhance the benefits of your massage and support your body’s recovery and relaxation. Thank you for choosing Balanced with Becs!
