In this hustle and bustle world, there are a lot of reasons to schedule yourself a men’s massage. Massage therapy helps reduce stress and anxiety while lowering your blood pressure. Getting a massage can also improve circulation while easing muscle tension. Furthermore, getting a massage is enjoyable, and it’s important to treat yourself every once in a while. But when you’re off the table and back into the real world, how do you get those good vibes and positive feelings to stick around? 

How to Keep the Effects of a Massage Going

1. Keep It Light

After a men’s massage, avoid heavy foods and drinks. Meals full of fat, salt, and sugar will only leave you feeling bloated and heavy, negating the work your massage therapist did. If you’re hungry, stick to lighter fare like fresh fruits and vegetables. 

2. Avoid the Noise

While you can’t cancel out all the noise pollution, you can do your best to avoid it. Instead of listening to loud, aggressive music, choose to listen to something relaxing during your drive home. Furthermore, avoid listening to the news, especially if you’re the type to get stressed out by world events.

3. Stay Hydrated 

It’s important to drink plenty of water after a massage to hydrate muscles and prevent soreness the next day. Additionally, avoid alcohol and caffeinated beverages that are dehydrating. If you’re not a fan of plain H2O, liven it up by adding fresh fruit. 

4. Dress Comfortably

Restrictive clothing will only make you tense up after your men’s massage. To keep the relaxed vibes going, bring loose, comfortable clothing to change into after your massage and stay in them for the remainder of your day. 

5. Take a Bath 

A warm bath at the end of the day will help relieve tension and get your body ready for bed. If you want to stay relaxed long after your men’s massage, make a date with your bathtub later on. To amp up the relaxation factor, use bath products that have relaxing scents like lavender, chamomile, and vanilla.
