Your sports massage doesn’t end when you leave the treatment room. How you care for your body afterwards plays a big role in how quickly you recover and how long the benefits last. To help you feel your best, we recommend a few simple aftercare tips:
- Stay hydrated. — Drinking plenty of water flushes out metabolic waste and toxins that may have been released during the massage. Proper hydration also helps prevent muscle stiffness and fatigue.
- Engage in light and gentle movement. — While it’s tempting to completely crash on the couch, light activity like walking or gentle stretching can improve circulation and aid recovery by keeping muscles loose.
- Apply heat or cold. — If you feel particularly sore or tender, applying a cold compress can reduce inflammation, while a warm bath or heating pad can help relax tight muscles.
- Rest and rejuvenate. — Your body repairs itself most effectively during sleep, so aim for a solid night of rest to allow your muscles to fully recover and rebuild.
