Aftercare

General advice MASSAGE AFTERCARE * Avoid drinking alcohol or caffeine containing beverage for 12 hours, as they have dehydrating properties. * Avoid strenuous activity for the next 12 hours, to help your body relax and de-stress further. * Take time to do simple breathing exercise, for example the 4-7-8 breathing technique. * When sitting in front of a computer for longer than 20 minutes, stand up to stretch and gently warm up your joints. Fetch yourself a glass of water. * Massage treatments work best, when performed on a regular basis. Make sure to book your next session promptly. At a minimum, you should rest for at least 24 hours after your massage to ensure your muscles have plenty of time to repair themselves. Post-massage soreness is completely normal after a sports massage, and your muscles may still feel tight after 48 hours, which is a sign they are still recovering .
