Why do you need to drink water after a massage?In: Massage Therapy |
[Edit] |
How to get through one.
You do not need to drink it, though it is usually encouraged. In general, water is good for you to drink, and most people do not drink enough. The other reason has to do with the fact that massage is like doing mild exercise, and, during any exercise or work that we do with our bodies, it will run smoother with a little more water. The other reason, and the one that is taught in massage schools, is because it helps flush out metabolic toxins. This is most likely true, though its overall impact on the body may not play that significant of a role. But it sure sounds like a good idea. So, to promote proper functioning of the body, especially after activity, massage therapists are often trained to offer water after they give a massage.
