Why is it important to drink water after a massage? 3 reasons.
1-During massage, your muscles are being well worked, and the fluid within them is being pumped into your circulatory system which leaves your muscles dehydrated. Drinking lots of water after a massage helps to rehydrate your muscles and replenish all that lost water to keep them healthy and in prime condition.
2-When your muscles are tight or you have a big knot, the circulation and fluid movement within your muscles becomes constricted which results in build up of the metabolic waste (toxins) your muscles produce with everyday function. Getting a massage helps get that fluid moving again, and drinking plenty of water afterwards assists in the flushing of not only your muscles, but your organs and the rest of your body as well.
3-Drinking lots of water is just plain good for you, and doing so right after a massage can actually help prevent major muscle soreness after getting a therapeutic or deep tissue massage. Plus, staying hydrated daily keeps your muscles, organs, and even your skin stay in supreme, functioning condition.
