Why drink water when you get a massage? One of the effects of stress on our bodies, physical or energetic, is dehydration. Our muscles and myofacial tissue do not get enough fluid. This drying out actually sets up a "vicious cycle" in the tissue, exacerbating the stress, which massage helps relieve.
     Massage, particularly Swedish massage, causes more blood and lymph to be moved through the body. With this increased circulation there is an increase in kidney function which causes more loss of fluid from the body tissues.
     This need to drink water is even greater if you use the sauna and steam room, due to increased sweating (fluid loss).
     The best thing to do is drink plenty of fresh, clean water-which we happily provide for you!
