It’s common to feel a sense of fatigue after a massage, and at Body Balance Massage, we see it as a positive sign that your body is responding well.
Here’s why tiredness can occur:
Release of Toxins: Massages stimulate lymphatic circulation, which helps in flushing out toxins. Your body uses energy in the detoxification process, which might lead to tiredness.
Relaxation Response: Massage activates your body’s relaxation response, which can reverse the effects of stress and release pent-up tension, leading to a state of deep relaxation or even tiredness.
Healing Process: As massage promotes recovery and healing, your body might need extra rest to facilitate these processes.
Embrace this fatigue as a sign of your body’s healing journey. Ensure you hydrate well and allow yourself some rest following your massage.
