Continue your therapy after the massage is completed.

Support your body’s rebalancing process by extending the treatment. Typical after-care advice can include:

• Hydrate: Drink plenty of water to help your kidneys flush out the toxins released during the massage and to counteract any dehydration from the treatment itself.  Herbal tea is often recommended instead of cold drinks.
• Rest: Give your body time to recover by avoiding strenuous activity for the rest of the day and relaxing.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine: Stay away from alcohol, coffee, and other caffeinated drinks for at least 12-24 hours, as they can cause dehydration and counteract the benefits of the massage
• Eat light: Avoid heavy or greasy meals, which can be harder for your body to process. Choose heathy food as part of a balanced diet
• Stay warm: Keep your body warm to help your muscles relax further.

Listen to your body:

• If you feel tired, rest. If you feel sore, this is often a sign your body is responding, and a warm bath or gentle stretching can help
• Incorporate gentle movement: Gentle activity like walking is fine, but your muscles need time to recover from the deep work they’ve received
• Consider self-care stretching routines and / or yoga to help maintain improved flexibility and range of motion you gained.
• Notice your body’s response. You might feel increased energy, deep relaxation, or mild fatigue.  Mild muscle soreness is normal and should ease within a day or two.

Future treatment needs:

• If you find Thai massage helpful for stress, posture, or mobility, schedule regular sessions (at least once every 2–4 weeks)
• Maintain a stretching routine between sessions to enhance long-term benefits
• Let your therapist know next time how your body reacted — this helps to tailor future treatments.
