Theory Tues 📖👀
Hydration & massage are a powerful duo when it comes to wellness and recovery.💆🏻♀️💧
Hydration:
Fuel for your muscles 💪🏼
Water helps transport nutrients, flush out toxins and keeps muscles resilient.
Massage:
Boosts Circulation and Relaxation🫀
Relieves muscle tension, improves blood flow, reduces stress and supports lymphatic drainage.
Before a massage:
Being well-hydrated improves circulation & makes tissues more responsive, enhancing the massages effectiveness.
After a massage:
Water helps flush out waste released during the massage, reduces soreness and promotes faster recovery.
Best Practices 🧘
To hydrate before & after your massage - aim for at least 500ml of water before and 1L after.
Pair with electrolytes if you've been sweating or exercising.
Avoid alcohol & caffeine - I don't just state this in your aftercare advice to be a kill joy. Both can dehydrate you & refill your body with "nasties".
Particularly after massages your body is trying to heal itself staying hydrated & being mindful of what you fed it will promote recovery.
