Aftercare

Aftercare Advice 

Drink Plenty of Water

As we have released stagnant lymph and encouraged lymph flow

during your massage treatment, please drink lots of water.

This will further promote the removal of wastes from your body.

Drinking water also hydrates the body after a massage treatment

and helps prevent any headaches or nausea.

Eat a Light Meal

Heavy meals should be avoided after your treatment. If heavy or

large amounts of food are consumed, the blood circulation will

need to focus on the stomach and other digestive organs to aid the

digestive process. This removes energy from the healing process

after your treatment.

Avoid Alcohol and Caffeine

Alcohol and caffeine are stimulants, so they will not enable you

 to relax and feel the full benefits of the treatment. In addition,

alcohol and caffeine will re-introduce toxins into the body, making

the treatment less effective.

Rest and Relax

Please rest and relax after the treatment to gain the full benefits and effects of the massage.

Strenuous exercise should be avoided. The body should be calm

and balanced after treatment; any strenuous movements may

disrupt this balance and take away from the treatment’s effectiveness.

Return for Treatment

Lymphatic drainage massage depends on your needs, availability, and stress levels.

 If needed you can have the treatment as often as once a week if needed, or the

treatment can be a maintenance plan and received once a month.

Relaxation

Contra Actions

Common Contra-Actions

Headache

A headache may occur after treatment due to dehydration or toxins

released from the body. Please drink plenty of water to rehydrate and release the toxins

more effectively. It is advised to rest and relax where possible.

 

Nausea

Again, releasing toxins from the body could result in you experiencing some nausea.

If there is a build-up of toxins in the body, the sudden release of these into the bloodstream

can cause nausea. Drinking water, eating lightly, and resting should help nausea pass.

 

Increased Urination

This is another sign that toxins are being released from the body.

Waste and toxins are removed from the body via sweat and urine.

During the massage treatment, you have a build-up of waste,

this can be released by the massage techniques and then needs to

be released from the body. This, alongside the increase in lymphatic

circulation, may cause increased urination.

 

Healing Crisis

In some cases, you may experience a healing crisis. This is when

the client experiences a combination of the contra-actions

mentioned above, and they can feel quite unwell. This sign that the

body is balancing and healing itself due to waste and toxins being

drained and filtered.

You may feel worse before they feel better, particularly if your

lymph circulation is very sluggish, which means more toxins in the body must

be removed.  If you have a particular immune or lymph issue or condition, then

you may experience a healing crisis.

A healing crisis combines dehydration and toxins moving more

effectively through the lymphatic system. It can result in headaches,

nausea, or flu-like symptoms.

Advise; to drink water, eat lightly and rest. The healing

crisis will pass, and please reschedule

further treatments so that the body and mind can be balanced and

clear and help you feel better.
