A massage doesn’t end when you leave the table. In fact, your body continues working long after your session—adjusting, releasing, and recalibrating. At Falua Massage®, we believe aftercare is just as important as the massage itself. By following a few simple steps, you can extend the benefits of your Falua Massage®, reduce soreness, and help your nervous system fully integrate the work.
Here’s how to get the most out of your session:
1. Stay Hydrated
Massage encourages circulation and the release of metabolic waste. Drinking water afterwards supports your body in clearing it out. For an extra boost, try coconut water or herbal teas to restore hydration and electrolytes.
2. Avoid Alcohol & Caffeine
For at least 12 hours after your Falua Massage®, skip alcohol and caffeine. Both dehydrate the body and counteract the restorative effects of your massage. Hydration is your best friend here.
3. Gentle Stretching
Massage creates space and mobility in your muscles and joints. Gentle stretching afterwards helps your body “lock in” those improvements and allows your brain to fully register the new state of balance created by your Falua Massage®.
4. Keep Moving Naturally
It’s tempting to stiffen up or “guard” muscles after deep work, but this slows recovery. Instead, keep moving in a natural, relaxed way. This helps your nervous system adapt to the changes brought about by your Falua Massage®.
5. Heat or Cold Therapy
A warm bath or shower can extend the soothing effects of your massage. Adding Epsom salts is optional—they’re not essential, but many people find them pleasant. If you notice visible inflammation, apply ice locally instead of heat.
6. Rest and Recovery
A Falua Massage® session is powerful work. Give yourself time to rest and recalibrate before hitting the gym or doing strenuous activity. Even a short period of downtime can make a big difference in how your body integrates the massage.
7. Expect Possible Reactions
It’s normal to feel:
Mild soreness
Temporary fatigue
A light headache
Emotional release or disrupted sleep
These usually pass within 24–48 hours. If anything feels unusual or lingers, consult a healthcare professional.
The Bottom Line
Falua Massage® goes beyond relaxation. It’s designed to realign, recalibrate, and support true healing. With thoughtful aftercare, you’ll not only extend the benefits of your massage—you’ll deepen them. Small steps like hydrating, moving naturally, and resting well make all the difference.
Take care of your body, and your Falua Massage® will take care of you.
