What does massage therapy do?
* Relieves chronic tension and pain in muscles
* Improves circulation
* Increases flexibility in the joints
* Reduces mental and physical fatigue
* Helps to combat stress (partially by lowering cortisol (stress hormone) in the body, among other things)
What do I do after the massage?
* Your massage therapist will leave the room while you dress. Take some time to feel any differences you may sense in your newly relaxed body.
* Get up slowly! Massage often lowers blood pressure, so do not sit up or stand up quickly--you may feel dizzy otherwise.
* Drink a lot of water! Your massage therapist may have a glass of water for you after your massage to get you started. Especially for the 24-hour period after your massage, drink more water than normal.
