Aftercare Advice

To help you get the most benefit from your treatment, please take a moment to read the aftercare advice below.

Your body continues to respond after your session, and gentle care can support longer-lasting results.

Tui Na - Chinese Deep Tissue Massage

Deep tissue massage works into the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, so it’s normal to feel a little tender afterwards.

After your treatment, please:

• 💧 Drink style hydrated - no need to flood your system with an excess of water, but keeping gently hydrated will be of benefit.

• Avoid heavy meals, alcohol and caffeine – this will help you to get the best from your massage.

• 🧘‍♀️Rest if you can and avoid strenuous exercise for 24 & 48 hours particularly if we have worked on specific issues e.g. lower back issues, tight shoulders etc.

• 🔥 Use heat or a warm bath to soothe muscles (unless advised otherwise)

• 🚶‍♀️ Move gently – light stretching or walking is ideal

• 😌 Listen to your body – mild soreness can be normal for 24–48 hours, it is likely that after this time you will feel the full benefit of your appointment. Some people will feel the difference immediately after their massage.
