Why Drink Water after a Massage Session?

Christen Spain • Apr 01, 2021

Every massage place typically offers the clients a glass or bottle of water after their session. There is a reason! 


Drinking water helps further flush out the lactic acid that was broken up during the massage session. Especially if you received a neuromuscular or deep tissue session. These techniques need the extra help that water can provide. The number one benefit of massage is circulation. During your massage the adhesions or tightness is broken down by the manual therapy and whisked off into circulation and eventually flushed out the system completely. The water helps this process along.


I like to think of water and movement as the two homework assignments I send home with my clients. 90% of my personal clientele receive deep tissue and neuromuscular therapy and I always send them home with bottled water and instruction to drink more if they can and go for a walk or swim or some light form of exercise. 


DO NOT go home and lay on the couch or get patio day drunk on margs! Even though both sound amazing haha!!! Not drinking water and lack of movement could result in you feeling like crap the next day, which we do not want to happen! 


Both the water and movement help flush out lactic acid and are an integral part of massage. 10/10 recommended after every session!

Flow of Experience

By Christen Spain • 01 Apr, 2021
What is this and why does it matter? Absolutely it matters and in a nutshell, the Flow is what you are purchasing as a part of your overall massage service. You are also purchasing the skills of the massage therapist, which is just as important as the Flow. The following paragraphs layout what my expectations are for your experience at Bodyworks.

By Christen Spain • 16 Feb, 2021
Why you should choose Bodyworks as your go to massage place… only the best therapists work here. You are buying a service, therefore you are buying the skills of the service provider. It makes sense to choose an establishment that only allows the best service providers to work there.
