Spa Tip #10

Everyone has heard the advice "make sure to drink water after getting a massage!" But why?



During a massage, especially with deep tissue work, materials in the muscles like salt and other wastes are released and need to be removed from the body. Water helps with this process. Without proper hydration your muscles may be sore afterwards.

It is also a good idea to drink water before you get a massage because a hydrated muscle is easier to manipulate.
