Spa Aftercare
After any massage, spa or holistic treatment, please follow our aftercare advice.
- Try to rest and relax for the remainder of the day, if not, for a few hours at least.
- You may feel relaxed and sleepy after your treatment. Take care if you are driving or working.
- Keep warm as massage and relaxation treatments can make you feel more sensitive to the cold.
- Drink plenty of water after your treatment to rehydrate your body, reduce fatigue and to help eliminate toxins from your body.
- Avoid alcohol and minimise tea and coffee, try to stick with water and/or herbal teas.
- Try to avoid eating a heavy meal, eat light for the rest of the day to allow your body to concentrate on the natural healing and encourage detoxification.
- Sometimes people experience some tenderness for 24 hours or so after a massage. If you do feel a little sore, do some light gentle stretches or take a warm bath with salts. And remember to tell your therapist about your experience so that it can be taken into consideration in your next session.
- If you have had a treatment with aromatherapy oils: To gain maximum benefit from the healing oils, try to avoid washing/showering the oils off for a few hours as they will continue to be absorbed by the skin after your treatment has ended.
