“Why am I told to drink water after every massage?”
Your therapist will probably tell you to drink lots of water after your treatment. There are a few reasons for this!
Massage increases the circulation of both the blood and the lymphatic system. Working out the tension in the muscles releases metabolic waste. That increased circulation and the muscle kneading promotes the pumping of fluid out of the soft tissue into the circulatory system, where it heads to the kidneys to be flushed from the body.
Drinking water supports the elimination of waste from the body, aids in healthy circulation, and helps deliver oxygen and nutrients to the muscles and organs.
Well, now you know! Listen to your practitioner and drink water. 💧
