After your massage, you’ve probably been told to drink water… but do you know why?
(Nope, we’re not going to talk about “toxins” here)
Your body is made mostly of water, and it works best when it’s properly hydrated. After a massage, your muscles, circulation, and lymphatic system have all been encouraged to move and shift — and hydration helps support that process.
When you’re well-hydrated:
• Your cells have the fluid they need to function
• Blood flow stays efficient
• Lymph can move more easily through the body
So while water isn’t some magical fix-all… it does help your body do what it’s already trying to do — just a little more smoothly

At Why Knot Wellness, LLC, we work with many clients managing chronic conditions — which is why we gladly accept HSA and FSA payments. 🌿
That said, a quick note:
Some HSA/FSA plans may require a diagnosis code or letter of medical necessity to approve or reimburse services. These are provided by your physician or healthcare provider, and unfortunately aren’t something we’re able to supply.
If you’re unsure what your plan requires, we recommend checking with your provider ahead of time.
We’re always happy to answer what we can — and support you however possible along the way.
