Relaxation Massage
Hydration and Massage
It’s important to bookend any massage session with added water intake. When you schedule a massage, we advise that it’s important to hydrate not only after the session but before in preparation for your appointment.
You’ll need to increase your water intake before a massage to ensure your muscles are properly hydrated. Hydrated muscles are softer and are much more pliable and easier to manipulate during a massage than dehydrated muscles, which usually become rigid. Rigid muscles will require extra pressure to work on during a massage, which could result in added soreness for you afterward.
A relaxation massage is a smooth, gentle treatment that relieves muscular tension, increases circulation, and promotes a general sense of relaxation. This massage is performed using Swedish techniques consisting of long, rhythmic strokes and small circular movements which help to break down adhesions and promote better circulation.
It is not intended to treat sports injuries and is instead used to reduce muscle tension while bringing the body back to a relaxed state. Many people seek relaxation massage treatments to relieve tension based pain and to help improve their mental health.
