Aftercare

Aftercare Guide 🤍

Thank you for choosing By Sarah Louise. Your treatment doesn’t end when you leave — how you care for your body afterwards plays an important role in how you feel and the results you see.

Below are some simple aftercare tips to help you get the most out of your treatment.

Lymphatic Drainage Aftercare

Lymphatic drainage works by encouraging the natural movement of fluid through your body, so supporting this process afterwards is key.

• Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water over the next 24–48 hours to help flush toxins and support your lymphatic system

• Keep moving – Gentle movement like walking helps encourage lymph flow and prevents stagnation

• Avoid alcohol & caffeine – Try to limit these for the rest of the day as they can dehydrate the body

• Eat light, nourishing foods – Avoid heavy, salty meals which can contribute to water retention

• Wear loose clothing – Tight clothing can restrict lymph flow, so opt for something comfortable

• Elevate your legs – Especially in the evening, to support circulation and reduce heaviness

• Keep warm – Staying warm can help maintain circulation and support the body’s processes

• Avoid intense exercise – Give your body time to process before returning to heavy workouts

• Expect natural responses – You may notice increased urination, reduced bloating, or a feeling of lightness — all normal signs your body is responding

Relaxation Massage Aftercare

Relaxation treatments focus on calming the nervous system and releasing tension, so it’s important to allow your body to fully absorb the benefits.

• Rest where possible – Give yourself time to slow down and avoid rushing straight back into a busy routine

• Stay hydrated – Drinking water helps support your body post-treatment

• Avoid strenuous activity – Let your muscles recover and relax fully

• Take a warm bath or shower – This can help prolong the relaxed feeling

• Notice how you feel – You may feel sleepy, calm, or lighter — allow yourself to lean into this

• Limit screen time if you can – Especially if your goal is better sleep or relaxation

• Prioritise sleep – Try to have an early, restful night to maximise the effects

Consistency & Results

While you may feel benefits after one session, the real results come with consistency.

Regular treatments can help:

• Reduce bloating and fluid retention

• Support your nervous system and improve sleep

• Relieve tension and stress build-up

• Maintain a feeling of lightness, calm, and balance

Most clients benefit from booking every 2–4 weeks depending on their goals and lifestyle.

Making your treatments part of your routine is where you’ll notice the biggest difference, not just physically, but in how you feel day to day.

Thank you again for taking time for yourself , I look forward to welcoming you back soon 🤍
