There are usually 5 main reasons why you plan to go to a massage therapist:

1. The presence of debilitating pain in the body
2. Muscle soreness after exercise
3. preparation for significant mental or physical exertion
4. desire to lose weight | improve skin condition and tone
5. desire to get positive emotions and just relax

Massage helps your body to:
‍
1. Reduce muscle pain
2. Relieve tension in the body
3. Eliminate fatigue
4. Remove puffiness
5. Disperse lymph, blood and metabolism.

Of course, the effectiveness increases with regular procedures, especially for example if you physically load the muscles in training. Since massage reduces the content of lactic acid in the muscles, increases their tone and overall functional state.

Massage techniques energetically affect the general condition of a person, as they involve biological points and meridians. When tissues move, we make it possible to release a person from blocks, actively influencing trigger points, relaxing nerve endings. After release from tension, you can feel lightness, you want to breathe deeply, a smile appears on your face.

Massage is a language that allows you to relax your body and focus on your own feelings. A very important role is played by the mood of the master himself, with what urge he treats his work (what he wants to give a person, fill him). Massage can also be compared to meditation, when all attention is paid to one's own feelings, only the pleasure of the process is here and now.

We can talk about the number of necessary sessions only after individual diagnostics, because everyone's problems are different

Massage really removes lymph stagnation and removes excess fluid. And then yes, the centimeters at the waist decrease. But it is important to understand that the approach should be comprehensive: special nutrition, additional workouts and good sleep along with massages will give the reflection in the mirror that you dream about.

Of course it is. It will help to soothe and relax the muscles after a workout.After that, it will not be superfluous to go to the sauna or take a warm bath.

It is better to eat lightly 1.5 - 2 hours before the session. Don't come completely hungry either.

This is not to say that massage is recommended for everyone. Why? There are certain medical conditions for which massage may be contraindicated for you, so we recommend that you first consult with your doctor. Possible contraindications:

1. Massage should be avoided after chemotherapy or radiation.
‍
2. Have you been diagnosed with osteoporosis? With such a disease, massage is indicated only on the recommendation of a doctor.
‍
3. Pregnant women should not come for a massage without consulting a doctor.
‍
4. If your body is prone to thrombosis (increased blood clotting), massage may cause blood clots to form.
‍
5. Patients with heart disease are shown massage only on the recommendation of a doctor.
‍
6. People with open wounds, rashes, bruises, burns, tumors, inflammation, muscle tears, sprains, or newly healed fractures should refrain from massage.
‍
7. People with a body temperature over 37.5 degrees are also contraindicated in massage, since the blood already circulates through the body faster than usual.
‍
8. If you have herpes, bacterial, fungal or viral infections, you should also refuse massage, as massage can further aggravate or develop the disease.
‍
9. Massage is not suitable for people with diseased vessels (varicose veins, phlebitis, thrombosis).

10. Diabetic patients should be very careful before booking a massage, as it can raise your blood sugar levels. Therefore, it is better for you to first consult with your doctor in detail.

1. Be fluid
⟶ During the massage, the muscles warmed up and relaxed, so you should not quickly and abruptly get out of this state. Lie down for 5 minutes and gently rise from the couch.

2. Drink plenty of water
⟶ Drinking plenty of water right after the massage and for the next few hours is a good idea as it helps in repairing your tissues. Massage movements stimulate the lymph circulation system, which collects all toxins and slags and removes them from the body. In this process, water comes to the rescue, which helps to remove toxic elements from the body. Therefore, it is recommended to drink as much water as possible after the massage (every person drinks water differently).

3. Eat right
⟶ It is recommended to eat light meals a couple of hours before or after the massage. But if you feel hungry after a massage, don't eat right away, wait a while and then choose some light food. These can be light snacks, such as steamed or lightly sautéed vegetables with a cup of herbal tea. Flour products, meat, sweets and soda slow down the metabolism, retain water, and you will feel heaviness in the stomach.

4. Water procedures after massage
⟶ At home, after a massage session, you can take a bath. We recommend adding some sea salt to the bath water, as it contains magnesium sulfate, which will also help cleanse the body of toxins and waste. However, even a simple warm bath (or shower) after the massage will suffice. Just make sure it's warm (not hot), it will have a soothing effect on the skin.Note: Sea salt (magnesium sulfate) is a muscle relaxant that has a detoxifying effect.

5. Relax!
⟶ The best way to recover from a massage is to rest. The most correct thing would be to lie down for 30-40 minutes, relax. This will help restore the body after the massage, in addition, vigor will return to you, since most people just want to lie down and relax.

6. Take a walk!
⟶ Another good idea is to go for a walk. This will not only save the muscles from spasm, but it will also saturate the body with oxygen and, in general, walking is great!Practice stretching or light exercise, yoga To consolidate the results of the massage, after the massage, you can do light stretching or yoga. Indeed, light forms of exercise and stretching combinations are recommended by doctors after massage, as all types of stretching relieve muscle tension. The slow pace of yoga will also help with stretching and relaxation.

7. Release your emotions
⟶ Massage, as a rule, is aimed at relieving stress and releasing emotions. In most cases, after a massage, people feel a surge of happiness or joy. If something like this happens, give it free rein. Can you feel the tears coming? Cry!! Feeling very happy? Share this happiness with others!! In other words, massage relaxes and removes all emotional blocks that we put consciously or unconsciously. When we relax and the blocks are removed, the body can react differently from an overabundance of emotions.

8. What is not recommended to do after a massage?
⟶ Avoid any type of intense workout or any other strenuous activity, including running.Do not drink drinks such as: tea, coffee, alcohol, caffeinated drinks, as they can cause dehydration (they have a diuretic effect).We do not recommend eating hard to digest food after the massage. It will not energize you and you will feel more lethargic and tired.Anything that can lead to high blood pressure levels should be avoided. It could be loud music, a thriller or a very moving book.
