BETWEEN MASSAGE SESSIONS
To get the most out of your massage, practice these self-care tips
regularly.
1. Stretch. If you are getting massage for pain and discomfort, stretching
is essential for you. Frequency is more important than length of a
stretching session.
• Try setting up a reminder sound like a chime on your computer
to remind you to stretch for 2 minutes every hour, or 5 minutes
every two hours.
• Follow this simple routine. Exhale as you stretch whatever feels
tight or uncomfortable to a feel-good position, and inhale as you
return to a starting position. Ask about stretches for specific
areas.
2. Exercise regularly. Even very moderate exercise can help relieve
pent-up muscle tension and improve your circulation, two benefits
you may have also noticed after massage. Walking, gardening,
golfing and tai chi are all ways to get your heart pumping and your
muscles moving, and can also help shift your attention from your
worries to relaxation and the enjoyment of life.
3. Take time to relax. Change your schedule to include more down
time, even if it’s only 15 minutes for deep breathing or a walk after
work or at lunch. Get away from chores on the weekend for a morning
or afternoon to enjoy some time in nature or a pot of tea with
friends.
IN THE HOURS AFTER YOUR MASSAGE
After your massage you may notice profound changes in your body and
mind. Here are some things that have helped many people get the most
from their massage.
1. Drink extra water. During a massage circulation is improved, which
helps flush irritating waste products from stressed muscles and other
tissues. Drinking water aids the functioning of the whole body
including the circulation and the kidneys, which are both involved
with relieving the body of waste products. Drinking extra water also
seems to help reduce soreness and fatigue after a massage.
2. Schedule time to take it easy after your massage. Rest if you feel the
need. If you can, take a nap or get in bed early. If you haven’t been
sleeping well, receiving massage may relax you enough that you will
want to turn in and catch up.
3. If the focus of your massage is on a particular injury or body part,
remember to stretch, ice, or apply heat to that area with the advice of
your massage therapist. Or, you may want to do some gentle movement,
such as walking, sometime in the hours after your massage to
mildly encourage your muscles to work in a balanced and efficient
way.
4. People sometimes experience some soreness for 24 hours or so after
a massage. If you do feel sore or think that you might, stretch gently
in a hot shower or take a warm bath with Epsom salts. And remember
to tell your massage therapist about your experience so it can be
taken into consideration in your next session.
