Tips for Care After Bodywork Session
You just had a bodywork and you feel wonderful. Here are a few tips on how to make the best of your session and make the wellness feeling last longer:
DOs
DOs
- Drink lots of water. The MOST important thing to do after a treatment. Drinking plenty of water after a treatment will help with rehydration, flushing of toxins, and building of healthy muscle tissue. And if you’ve got an injury, water will help your tissues recover faster.
- Take it easy. It is best to avoid any intense physical or stressful activity in the next 4-8 hours following a bodywork. Also, prolongation of the feeling of relaxation will be beneficial for your whole body, as the absence of stress is well known for better healing, recovering, repairing and returning to yourself.
- Take a warm bath. Add Epsom Salts and bicarb soda to relax a little longer and increase circulation. Unless you came for an injury or inflammation, you will prefer applying ice.
- Welcome any emotions. Your body stores repressed emotions in different tissues. This could unlock some blockages and emotional release could happen. Just let it flow and go with it. Sometimes you can experience releases for the following 3 days, especially in a myofascial treatment as the connective tissue stores the muscle memory.
DO NOTs
- Avoid alcohol, coffee and soft drinks. Choose water!
- Eat well with healthy foods such as soups, salads, vegetables and proteins.
- Avoid going for intense physical activity. Please keep in mind that your muscles are vulnerable after a bodywork session.
- Avoid too hot bath/showers, as it may create inflammation and dehydration.
