Deep tissue massage has a lot of benefits. However, you can take action to improve the massage and make its effects last longer and be more noticeable.
Because getting a deep tissue massage takes time and costs money, it’s important to plan and know what to do afterward. Read on to learn simple ways to get the most out of your massage.
Before a deep tissue massage, you should:
Stay hydrated:
At least 24 hours before your massage, you should start drinking water. When you get a deep tissue massage, the toxins in your muscles come out. If you drink enough water before the massage, your body can eliminate these toxins as quickly and effectively as possible. Also, well-hydrated muscles are more flexible, which makes it easier for the therapist to loosen even the most knotted muscles without causing too much pain.
Get into a warm bath:
Taking a shower before a massage isn’t always possible, but it can help you feel more relaxed. Warm water can also help reduce pain after a deep tissue massage by making your muscles more flexible.
Dress in a casual, comfortable way:
Some people may notice that their muscles relax on their own when they wear comfortable clothes. Depending on how stiff your muscles are after the massage, it may be easier (and more comfortable!) for you to leave the clinic wearing loose clothes.
Think about what you want to get out of a massage:
If you want our London deep tissue massage therapist to help with something specific, such as relieving stress in a specific area or healing an injury, please let us know. They can be sure they will care for your problems this way.
Following A Deep Tissue Massage:
Keep taking in water:
Like staying hydrated before the massage, drinking water after it will help eliminate the toxins released. Keeping yourself hydrated after a massage could help ease side effects like pain and nausea.
Use your money well:
After a massage, it’s best not to eat too much, but you should also ensure you get enough nutrients. Since our London deep tissue massage brings more blood to muscles that need it, you want to ensure the blood carries the nutrients you want.
Have a good night’s sleep:
As you sleep, your muscles may recover from the stress of the massage and use the nutrients that the increased blood flow brings. Aim for at least six hours.
Set up a time to see the doctor again:
Even though a single deep tissue massage can be helpful, many patients say they feel much better after multiple massages. Every massage therapist is different, and what they expect from you depends greatly on how much you like massages or if you’ve never had one.
Wear clothes that feel good. In many countries, it is normal to get a massage while wearing only your underwear; sheets are used to keep your dignity.
Don’t wear belts, jeans, baggy pants, or shorts with many pockets. Instead, wear leggings or joggers that fit close to the body and stretch (unless you require deep tissue work on the legs, shorts or underwear will be necessary). Before your treatment, we may ask you to remove the clothes on your upper body. Then we’ll leave the room while you take off your clothes, get on the table, and cover yourself for the massage.
But some people may want to wear as many clothes as they can. If you’d rather have a traditional massage and take off most or all of your clothes, we can cover you with sheets and only expose the area that needs to be worked on for skin-to-skin massage. It makes no difference whether you are dressed or not because we Deep Tissue Massage London are trained in all types of massage and can adapt to what you want. So, please tell us how you want your massage to be done before we start, and the thing that’s best for you is the appropriate attire.
