Why Hydration Matters After a Massage

Your muscles love water. It helps fuel your recovery.

Massage boosts circulation, moving blood and lymphatic fluid throughout the body. Staying hydrated helps your muscles recover faster and enhances the benefits of your session.

The truth is, most of us are a little dehydrated already which can lead to stiff, sore muscles. Since about 60% of the body is made up of water, dehydration impacts nearly every tissue, organ, and even the brain.

When you’re dehydrated, your brain may actually register pain more intensely, showing up as headaches, muscle aches, joint stiffness, back pain, and more.

Other signs of dehydration can include:

  • Sugar cravings

  • Bad breath

  • Brain fog

  • Constipation

  • Dry skin

  • Fatigue or irritability

  • Muscle cramps or soreness

  • Headaches

  • Excessive thirst

Keeping your hydration levels up is a simple but powerful way to reduce pain, improve recovery, and help your body feel its best.

STRETCH smart

Stretching is a simple but powerful way to support your self-care routine.

As you stretch, listen closely to your body—it will let you know if you’re pushing too far. Aim for a gentle, comfortable stretch, never pain. The goal isn’t to force your body into a position, but to ease into it gradually as your muscles relax and open.

  • Make it routine – Adding stretching to your self-care helps keep muscles flexible, strong, and balanced.

  • Listen to your body – A good stretch feels gentle, not painful. If it hurts, ease back.

  • Don’t force it – Flexibility takes time. Allow your body to gradually relax into each stretch.

  • Be consistent – The more regularly you stretch, the more progress you’ll notice.

  • Try Yoga or Pilates – Both are excellent ways to build strength, improve mobility, and keep your body feeling its best.

DIY Hot Towel compress

What you need:

  • 1 large towel (dry outer layer)

  • 1 medium towel (wet, heated inner layer)

Steps:

  • Fold & prep:
    Use the big towel for your shoulders, low back, or abdomen. Keep 2–3 layers of dry towel between your skin and the hot towel.

  • Heat it up:
    Wet the medium towel, wring it out, then microwave for about 2 minutes. Careful—it’ll be hot! Grab it with tongs or a pot holder.

  • Wrap & place:
    Fold the hot towel inside the dry one, then place it where you need relief.

  • Relax & enjoy:
    Reheat if needed. Add a few drops of essential oil, stretch gently, or just chill. Finish with your favorite lotion, tiger balm, or cbd cream.

  • Pro tip:
    Moist heat sinks deep into your muscles, while dry heat (like a towel from the dryer) only warms the surface.
