Can I exercise after a massage?
Massages are usually best after a workout. Massage helps remove accumulated lactic acid from the muscles, so the perfect time is after physical activity. If you are a very active person and used to training, your body may respond fine afterwards- but bear in mind that softened muscle tissue and aggressive training are the perfect time to strain a muscle. At the very least stick to exercise that your body is used to, and make sure that you do not push extra weight or perform exercises that are new for your body directly after.
How often do I have to come for a massage?
Some clients come for maintenance on a monthly basis, some weekly. It depends on your specific situation. Prevention and maintenance- rather than waiting for the problem to be unbearable, is the best way to keep your body in a functioning state. When tension builds up and builds up during a certain period, pain starts. If you notice the pain and respond to it before it becomes debilitating, it is much easier to work on and get back into functional condition.

What should I avoid after a massage?
We suggest that clients relax, avoid strenuous physical activity and try to hold on to the sense of zen that you get from your treatment. Some customers feel extremely tired after a session, and some can go back to work without problems- it’s different for everyone. Perhaps schedule a first session without many obligations after so that you can see how you respond. Drink lots of water, and go easy on your body.
Is it normal to feel pain after a treatment?
You may feel slight pain or “worked” after a treatment. These are normal body reactions because massage evokes inflammation in the body. If you come to the studio with a long-term problem, it is more likely that you will feel it later. Pain usually disappears after a day or two. You can speed up this process by staying as hydrated as possible. A lot of water. Avoid excessive alcohol day-of (to minimize dehydration) and try to get a good sleep. If you come for successive appointments, you will probably notice that the discomfort diminishes after as your muscles soften and your body gets used to the treatment.
