Why drink water after massage???

by admin on May 26, 2010

WaterQ. After your massage your therapist tells you to make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day-why is that???

A. First of all, most of us don’t get enough water during the day to begin with. Your body NEEDS water to perform many of it’s daily functions- such as breathing, digesting and cleansing. After you have received a massage many of the toxins that are stored up in the muscles are released and need to exit your body. In order to do so you need enough water in your system to aid in the detoxification. If you do not get enough water your muscles will be sore, you will feel lethargic and possibly ill.  Read more on this topic here.
