If you have never had a deep tissue massage before, you will want to prepare for being sore afterward. Here are some tips you can do to have the best deep tissue massage experience:
- Drink water before and after your massage to hydrate your muscles and lessen soreness.
- During your massage, keep your body loose and take deep breathes. If you are tense, you may experience more pain or discomfort.
- Take a warm bath with Epsom salts after your massage to relieve muscle soreness.
- Light cardiovascular exercise to help with blood flow and any residual soreness
