Massage can be profoundly relaxing, affecting all your body's systems. Give yourself a moment to re-orient before slowly getting off the table. After a session most people feel very relaxed, almost sleepy. Many experience relief from aches and pains that have
built up over months due to tension or repetitive activity. After an initial period of feeling slowed down people often experience an increase in energy that can last for several days. Following a massage or over the next day or two you may have some soreness similar to having worked out vigorously. This is a normal response of the body to increased circulation and removal of toxic wastes from the muscles.
Sometimes you may not feel dramatic results right away.
Watch for changes over the following days such as pain relief, increased mobility, or reduced stress.
