Stretching helps maintain flexibility and range of motion of the muscles that were manipulated during your massage treatment session. Regular stretching aids in preventing your muscles from tightening up again and reduce the injury risk. Additionally, stretching in the morning soon after you wake up and at night before going to bed will maintain the length of your muscles and reduce stiffness. Short exercises and yoga are two such stretching methods.
Conscious breathing plays an important role in maximizing your overall massage health benefits. Deep and slow breathing aids in relaxing your nervous system, relieves stress and tension, and promotes calmness and peacefulness. Mindful breathing also increases your mind and body connection which increases the therapeutic effects of the massage.
