Reflexology and Massage Therapy

Study Notes

Healing reactions after a massage are normal and indicate that the treatment is working, with potential symptoms including fatigue, increased sweating or urination, irritability, heightened emotions, and changes in nasal congestion.
Massages are recommended regularly to maintain results, especially in today's fast-paced and stressful lifestyle.
To maintain massage results, it's recommended to take a weekly warm bath to loosen muscles, relax and de-stress, exercise and stretch regularly, exfoliate and moisturize the body, and take regular breaks to stand up and stretch.
Reflexology is a type of massage that applies pressure to the feet, hands, and ears to stimulate connected organs and body systems.
After a massage, the body and mind are in a relaxed state, and following aftercare advice ensures maximum benefits from the treatment.
It's essential to inform clients about available treatments and products to make informed choices and for business survival in a competitive market.
Post-massage aftercare includes relaxing and taking it easy, drinking plenty of water for 24 hours to aid toxin removal, avoiding heat treatments, and refraining from alcohol, smoking, caffeine, and fizzy drinks that can dehydrate and add toxins.
Avoiding heavy and spicy meals post-massage allows the body to focus on natural healing and detoxifying itself.
