If you visit the spa regularly or have just ordered your first home therapeutic massage from Urban Company, you probably don't know much about some of the important tips in the article.
Here is a list of Mistakes, ie what you should not do after the massage
1. Don't forget to drink water
This happens if you do not drink a glass of water after the massage: The massage can dehydrate you, thus slowing down the circulation, blood and lymphatic system. In particular, the lymphatic system cannot perform its work in removing toxins from the body, which leads to the accumulation of toxic substances and defeats the purpose of detoxification massage.
Do not replace this tea, coffee, alcohol or any other beverage. These are diuretics, ie you sweat more and your body loses a lot of water without giving the body time to store fluids.
2. Do not shower immediately
Many of our clients admit that they take a shower after the massage, usually to wash off the oil. This is a big mistake. The massage only heats the essential oils and it takes another hour for them to be absorbed by the skin cells.
3. Do not bathe in hot water
After a long relaxing massage, it is tempting to soak in the hot hot bath. That's still a bad idea. If you suffer from muscle damage, hot water can only worsen the inflammation. Use cold water to reduce pain.
The hot water is just at the right temperature to relax your body without tensing your muscles. If you want to relieve pain, use ice packs or cold water. Net No.
4. Do not eat heavy meals after the massage
Massages can make you feel hungry. This is due to increased blood circulation, which pushes all your body's systems into a high-performance mode - including the digestive system. However, a heavy diet can only weaken, inflate and weaken your body instead of being strong.
5. Don't go out and do anything heavy
An hour-long massage will put your body and mind into a relaxing mode. It is best to leave them in a state that you 'wake up'. Also, performing any strenuous activity - such as going to the gym - can damage your muscles.
After the massage, you should try to prolong the feeling of calm. Relax, read the book, Netflix and relax, do everything you can to relax physically and mentally. It is best to book a massage for a day that you know will get you home in a good 4-6 hours.
