What to do after a massage
What to do after a massage is simple: drink water, move slowly and keep the rest of the day easy.
What to do after a massage, right away
Sit up slowly and stay seated for a minute before you stand. Get dressed at your own pace. Nobody is rushing you out.
What to do for the rest of the day
Drink a glass of water, eat normally and keep the evening light if you can. A walk, a meal and an early night suit most people. If you feel very relaxed, give yourself a few minutes before you drive.
If you feel tender the next day
A firm session can leave you a little tender, the way a workout does. Tell your therapist next time if the pressure was more than you wanted. The massage pressure guide shows how to ask.
Questions
Should you drink water after a massage?
A glass of water is a good habit and costs nothing. There's no set amount you need.
Why am I sore after a massage?
Firmer work, such as deep tissue, can leave you tender the next day. See a healthcare provider if the soreness is sharp or doesn't ease.
Can you work out after a massage?
A walk or light movement is fine. For a hard workout, many people wait until the next day. Go by how your body feels.
Should you shower after a massage?
Whenever you like. Some people shower right away and some wait until they're home.
