Drink plenty of water to rehydrate the body and help to flush out toxins released in the massage.

Rest and Recovery

Avoid strenuous activities for at least 24-48 hours. Gentle stretching and walking can be beneficial to recovery.

Heat - Sports Massage Only

If advised, apply heat to sensitive areas treated for pain and inflammation relief. Also a hot bath or shower the night of the treatment with help to relieve some discomfort.

Cupping Specific Aftercare!

  1. Drink a lot of water Water helps flush the lymphatic system of the cellular waste that cupping helps release from your muscles.
  2. Stay warm Try to cover the area(s) where you received cupping.
  3. REST - You may feel more tired than normal or experience flu-like symptoms after cupping (headache or general body aches). This is a temporary reaction by your immune system to help release muscle waste.

Please Avoid After Cupping: For 4 to 6 hours post cupping, avoid exposure to:

  1. Caffeine, Alcohol
  2. Hot Showers, Baths, Saunas. The skin will be more sensitive after Cupping and will need time to recover.
  3. Intense Exercise
  4. Cold Air or Windy Conditions

Can you get bruises after a sports massage?

Due to the increased pressure used in a deep tissue sports massage some mild bruising may show on the skin, especially in sensitive areas like the thigh or the inner arm. A sports therapist should always check in with you about the appropriate amount of pressure. However if a persistent, large or painful bruise does appear after a massage please inform the therapist and they’ll be able to give further advice and/or when to see a health care professional.
