So, you’ve already decided to book your relaxing massage in the West Loop at LillieAnn’s. We want you to get the most out of your experience with us, and we know you do too. Here are four simple, effective ways to maximize the effects of your massage.
1. Stay Hydrated
After your massage, be sure to drink plenty of water for the next couple of days. Drinking water will help reduce post-massage soreness and flush the toxins and metabolic waste released during your appointment out of your body. You’ll avoid feeling fatigued and be able to experience more benefits from the massage.
2. Get Some Rest
Massage therapy is a tool for restoration and healing. Allowing yourself to rest after your appointment will increase the therapeutic benefits of the massage and encourage your body to repair and regenerate.
3. Don’t Stress
If you can, don’t participate in any stressful activities. Reconsider strenuous exercise, such as lifting weights or going on long runs, in order to avoid taxing your muscles.
4. Take a Detoxifying Bath
Soak in the tub with Epsom salts, a naturally occurring mineral compound of magnesium and sulfate known for its healing powers. Epsom salt baths are a great way to flush out toxins from cells, relieve muscle pain, and relax.
Try taking a hot bath with two cups of Epsom salt for 12 minutes, you won’t regret it!
