Advice for the massage client once

leaving the salon and maintaining

results in aftercare services,
 ONCE LEAVING THE SALON
Try to relax and take it easy for the rest of the day – if you
can and feel the need to, nap.
Drink plenty of water for 24 hours after your massage as
your lymph nodes, which have been stimulated, are removing
toxins from the body. Your urine might be much darker than
usual – this is due to the toxins leaving your body.
 ONCE LEAVING THE SALON
Avoid heat treatments (hot baths / showers, body wraps,
saunas, sunbeds) for 24 hours.
Avoid alcohol, smoking, caffeine and fizzy drinks as they
can dehydrate your body and add more toxins to your body.
This would reverse the effects of the massage, since the
massage is in-turn aiding the body in removing the
accumulation of toxins.
Avoid eating a heavy and especially spicy meal so your
body can focus on natural healing and detoxifying itself.
‘Healing Reactions’ may take place after your massage
and are completely normal-showing that the massage is
working well and your body is responding to the
treatment. Indications of this may result in the following:

Fatigued or tired (although this could be a sign of

deep relaxation, especially if you are usually always
on the go)
Increased sweating, thirst or urination
Irritable or energised
Heightened emotions (low or high)
Runny, stuffy or blocked nose
Sound sleeping and vivid dreams
 MAINTAINING YOUR RESULTS
Massages are recommended often, especially due to the fast-
paced and stressful lives that we are living. To maintain the
results, you can try the following:
Take a warm bath once a week – this will help to loosen
up your muscles.
Relax and distress – listen to music, burn some essential
oils, etc.
Find time to exercise (especially strength training) and
stretch (yoga is excellent).
 MAINTAINING YOUR RESULTS
Exfoliate and moisturize your body regularly.
Stand up and walk around and stretch – especially if
sitting a long time at a desk and / or on the computer.
Throughout the day, massage your shoulders, and other
areas that feel stiff.
Sit in a correct position and you might want to raise your
legs a bit.

Jingle doesn't stay on topic.

positive way or is not always

difficulty and needs much
support to write lyrics.
Melody requires much
improvement, is not appealing,
or is "stolen" from another
source.
Group does not work well
together, not everyone
involved in composition and/or
performance. Group members
undervalue eachothers' ideas -

much teacher intervention, or
