How to prepare for your session

• An hour before your massage, ensure you're well hydrated and drink a glass of water if needed.  

• If you're able to do so, warm your muscles up before the session by taking a hot bath or shower, doing some range of motion exercises or stretches, or taking a gentle 10-15 minutes stroll.

• After your massage, be sure to avoid alcohol or any sugary drinks and continue to hydrate and flush the body with plenty of water for the next 24 hours..
