WHAT
HAPPENS AFTER MASSAGE TREATMENT ?
Massage
involves intensive bodywork and mind-work and after a session you
can sometimes experience different natural sensations, which you
might want to be aware of. Here are some examples of the healing
response.
After deep tissue work, you might experience some muscle pain, as
result of the deep bodywork. It is normal and usually fades within a
few hours, leaving you even more refreshed than before. Besides its
pure physical aspects, deep tissue work elicits powerful responses
from your whole being. Together we will ensure that everything is
done in a pace that is suitable and safe to you.
Although it seems as if you didn't do much massage activates your
body and mind, and can sometimes be tiring, so respect the need to
rest. The trance-state, which usually accompanies massage session,
further enhances the euphoric, dreamlike state in the hours that
follow the session.
Your body-mind system
will use the hours and days that will follow the session, to
calibrate and fine-tune your system. You might consciously notice
differences in various aspects of your life, but consciousness is
not necessary for the things to happen.
Since massage sometimes unlock repressed emotions and blocked
energies, it is natural to feel energy changes and mood-swings in
the hours (sometimes a few days) that follow the session.
Allow yourself to
experience the full benefits of massage long after the session. When
your balance is regained, you will be stronger than before. Being
with your mind-body while these changes occur will prove to be an
extremely self-educating experience for you.
You may experience unusual dreams - this is normal. Unconscious
changes often manifest themselves in unconscious realms such as
trance, dreaming and daydreaming, as well as through emotions and
habitual system's changes.
Within massage sessions you will be exploring your body and mind,
discovering previously unnoticed sensations and emotions.
Allow yourself to experience it fully, accept whatever you feel and
think to maximize the benefits of the session. Like any other
therapeutic process, our experiences vary in type and intensity and
should all be respected.
After some sessions, when you've achieved a desirable body-mind
balance, you will be able to detect unwanted patterns with greater
ease, acuity and sensitivity. This is one of the educational aims of
the massage.
Remember that massage sessions are a journey, and as such they are
always interesting to explore; sometimes intensive and moving and
usually fun and enjoyable - yet sometimes difficult or
challenging.
There is a wealth of
wisdom and power in our bodies and minds, and it is exciting and
thrilling to explore our mind-body from different angles. Within
massage sessions you will get a chance to experience that.
