What to Expect After a Massage

Afterwards, you will be profoundly relaxed, yet most likely invigorated as well. You may find that some chronic pain has left you. After the initial relaxation, many people feel renewed and have more energy and more mental clarity than they did before. You will probably also feel more flexible and able to move with more freedom than before!

Massage work is cumulative, and the benefits build on themselves over time.

Congratulations on taking care of yourself by experiencing your first massage! In doing so you have immediately enhanced your circulatory and lymphatic systems, stimulated your immune system, and reduced the levels of damaging stress hormones in your bloodstream. In addition, you have mobilized metabolic waste products for more efficient elimination, increased the efficiency of oxygen absorption in your tissues, lowered your blood pressure, and generally improved the functioning of every one of your body's physiological processes and systems. And it was pleasant and relaxing, too!

We here at Orthopedic Massage Associates believe deeply in the documented benefits of massage as an essential part of everyday health maintenance. Thank you for entrusting your well-being to us. We look forward to our future association as your partners in good health!
