KEEP WARM! The combination of Swedish massage and hot stone therapy will leave your muscles in a state of deep relaxation, cold exposure can cause muscles to tense so ensure you stay warm after the session. ​COMFORTABLE ENVIRONMENT: Keep your body warm but not overheated. A comfortable, moderate temperature helps maintain the relaxed state.​ HYDRATE: Drink plenty of water to help your body replenish and flush metabolic waste released during the massage. AVOID HEAT: Steer clear of hot showers, saunas, or hot tubs immediately after the therapy to prevent overstimulation of your muscles and skin. WARM BATH: A warm bath can help further relax your muscles. Adding Epsom salts can enhance the effect. EAT LIGHT: Consume a light, nutritious meal to aid digestion and maintain energy levels. REST: Allow your body to rest and recuperate. Avoid intense physical activity for at least 24 hours. ​GENTLE MOVEMENTS: Engage in light activities and gentle stretching to keep your muscles from stiffening, and maintain the benefits of the massage. SYMPTOMS: It's not uncommon to experience cold and flu like symptoms in the days following massage. This is normal as your body works to achieve homeostasis. Remain hydrated, warm and rest to support the processes occurring throughout your body systems. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR BODY: Monitor for any signs of discomfort or unusual reactions, and consult your therapist if you have any concerns.
