Many people enjoy the benefits of a deep tissue massage. If you have aching shoulders, soreness in your back or stiffness in your joints, a deep tissue massage can help with these symptoms. Most people feel relaxed and have more flexibility and range of motion after getting one of these massages. If you are new to deep tissue massage, you might wonder what to do after a deep tissue massage. One of the most important things that you should do after receiving a deep tissue massage is to drink plenty of water.
The deep tissue massage may release toxins from your cells. Drinking plenty of water will help your body flush those toxins away. If you usually drink just a glass or two of water, consider doubling this. If you typically drink the recommended eight glasses of water each day, add a glass or two in order to help get those toxins out faster. We also recommend eating a healthy diet after a deep tissue massage. Focus on fresh fruits and vegetables and lean proteins.
The fiber and nutrients in these foods will help your body eliminate waste products more efficiently. Mild to moderately intense exercise is also good after a deep tissue massage. Go for a walk or take a swim, which will increase your metabolism of the toxins.
