To
obtain the very BEST benefits from your massage, we
recommend our clients to take the following steps before
and after your visit.
Preparation and
Scheduling
-
Choose an
appointment time that provides plenty of time for
transportation. Your leisurely drive to our office suite
sets the stage for more immediate relaxation, providing the
full benefits of massage, from start to finish. If possible,
arrive a few minutes early for your appointment.
-
Perform some
general stretching activities just before your visit or
as you prepare for massage in our office. This will help to
identify areas of tension in your body that may otherwise go
untreated.
-
If you are
visiting A Perfect Touch Plus to address a specific physical
condition or injury, please advise us when you make your
appointment, so that we may consider treatment alternatives
that are most appropriate for your benefit.
After Your
Massage
We
can't emphasize enough the benefits of hydrotherapy (water therapy)
after your massage. The manipulation of your muscles provides
release of the toxins that become stored there from the everyday
stresses of life.
-
Drink plenty
of fluids. We recommend that you consume at least
three 8oz servings of pure spring water. Also, avoid
Alcohol, which dehydrates the body, and interferes with
the release of toxins.
Try our recipes for herbal teas
that serve to open capillaries, further benefiting the
release of toxins from the body.
-
Soak in a
bath with sea salts. Scientists have discovered that sea
water and its minerals very closely resemble the composition
of human blood plasma. Greeks were among the first to
utilize sea water, sea plants and minerals for
hydrotherapy... over a thousand years ago! The salt serves
to help draw the toxins from the body, while sea plants and
minerals provide nourishment through (and to) the skin.
(Epson salt is a viable alternative, though it does not
provide the same nourishing benefits.)
See information on our Full Moon
Bath created with sea salts from the Dead Sea for
more information on the benefits of sea water therapy.
-
Allow for at
least 20 minutes of post-massage relaxation. This step
helps to extend the benefits of your massage by allowing
muscles to full adjust into their new refreshed state.
