Here are my tops tips to make sure you are prepared for your massage and get the most out of it.
Eat lightly
Proper nourishment is important before and after a massage. It is usually recommended to have a lighter meal no sooner than an hour before your massage. This allows you to not be uncomfortable during the massage because of digestion issues. It is also good to eat a healthy and nutrient-dense meal after your massage. Avoid sugar and processed foods.
Stay Hydrated
It is important to be properly hydrated going into your massage session, as well as drink plenty of water afterward. The general recommendation is to drink “half your body-weight in ounces of water” every day. Hydration is very important for optimal effects of massage, to include proper lymphatic drainage of toxins from our body.
Dress Comfortably
Wear loose fitting clothing. This will help you stay comfortable and help you relax before and after your massage.
Use the Bathroom
Try using the restroom before you enter the massage room. Even if you don't think you have to go. This way you are certain you do not have to go and are less likely to have to stop the massage and go. Which means you will not loose out on any of your session time.
