Five Ways to Extend Your Massage & Keep The Calm

Whether you get a massage weekly, monthly, or just every once in a while, here are five tips to maximize and extend the afterglow of a therapeutic massage treatment:
 
1. Drink Water to flush the toxins from the body. Massage also promotes circulation, increasing blood flow and oxygen and stimulating the lymphatic system, which helps rid the body of pathogens. After-massage hydration supports these functions, helping to eliminate released impurities, sooner rather than later.
 
2. Stretching between massages helps maintain joint mobility, prevent muscles from tightening up again, and keep the life energy flowing.
 
3. Exercise helps maintain the benefits of massage. However, if you're receiving massage therapy to help speed muscle strain recovery, you may need to ease up on the exercise for a while and give the body time to heal -- particularly if you're recovering from a strenuous training regimen.
 
4. Body Awareness. After a massage, listen to how your body feels. This may mean taking it easy, moving slower and perhaps doing less for a while. Get sufficient sleep to allow the body to absorb the effects and regain vitality.
 
5. Diet. Support the body's renewed state by adhering to a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables, which will continue the detoxification process.  Lay off the caffeine and other adrenaline-challenges for a time -- which would short-circuit relaxation anyway.
 
Enjoy the calm! Kim

What Customers Say About Take Ten Body Therapy

ahhhh
Kim, gave a pressure point release massage that left me feeling amazing after a transcontinental flight and 3 months of training for a 1/2 marathon. She did the trick.

Thoroughly therapeutic
​Kim knows how to leave a body much relieved, and still unwinding over the week after being on her table. I can report her pressure point releases last longer, and get me further towards better functioning, than any body work I've had before. Which is saying a lot, after 20 years of relying on non-surgical intervention.
