Are you planning to scuba dive on your next adventure? Best not to book a massage same day.
🤔🤓
After scuba diving, it is recommended to wait at least 12-24 hours before receiving a deep-tissue or intense sports massage. This waiting period allows the body to off-gas naturally and eliminates inert gases without creating potential confusion or stress on tissues. Once the body has had time to off-gas safely and any DCS risk window has closed, a professional massage can be beneficial. Many divers report improved flexibility, reduced soreness, and better circulation with moderate-pressure massage sessions a day or two post-dive.
