Massage therapy offers relaxation and relief, but it also helps your body eliminate toxins. Many clients feel refreshed and rejuvenated after a massage, but some experience fatigue or mild flu-like symptoms. This is because massage stimulates the body’s lymphatic system, which helps flush out toxins and waste products.
What Toxins Are Released?
Toxins in your body come from various sources—pollution, processed foods, medications, and even stress. When muscles are tight and tense, circulation decreases, leading to the buildup of lactic acid, carbon dioxide, and metabolic waste. A massage promotes better blood flow and encourages the lymphatic system to remove these byproducts.
The Role of Hydration
After a massage, it’s essential to stay hydrated to help your body flush out toxins. Drinking water ensures that your kidneys and liver can process and eliminate waste efficiently. This is why therapists at Back & Body Wellness Centre always recommend clients drink plenty of water after a session.
Benefits of Regular Massage Therapy
Receiving regular massage therapy not only helps with muscle relaxation but also supports your body’s natural detoxification processes. Over time, it can improve circulation, boost immune function, and reduce the buildup of harmful substances in your tissues.
