How to make the most of your massage

28/5/2016

Before you start your day, drink water.  A simple suggestion but starting the rehydration of your muscles, and helping your body eliminate waste from your sleep over night is the best way to start your day. The more hydrated your muscles are, the more oxygenated blood can flow through them. Hydrated muscles generally recover better from manual therapy, including massage. 

If it’s your first massage at the clinic make sure you allow time to complete some quick paperwork regarding your preferences, so you don’t feel stress or rushed prior to going through. This will also allow you time to use the bathroom before your massage so you are comfortable and not wanting your session to end before due time.

On your way to your appointment, think about what kind of massage you would like, what areas of your body you would like treated.  If you have had massage before, was suitable or unsuitable? Think about how you might explain this to your therapist in case it has any impact on the treatment you are about to receive. 

When speaking with your therapist, they may want a little bit of background information like injuries or trauma history.
