Support beyond the session
This page offers general guidance to help you get the most from your treatment and support your body afterwards.
Any aftercare discussed during your session will always be tailored to you. The information below is intended as gentle, supportive guidance rather than prescriptive instruction.
Immediately after your treatment
After a massage treatment, it’s normal to feel a range of sensations — from deep relaxation to a sense of lightness or fatigue.
Where possible:
Take a few moments to settle before returning to normal activity
Drink water to support hydration
Avoid rushing straight into demanding physical or mental tasks
Allowing the body time to integrate the work can enhance the effects of the treatment.
Movement & activity
Gentle movement can be helpful following treatment.
This might include:
Walking
Light stretching
Easy, non-strenuous activity
Intense exercise or heavy training is often best avoided immediately after treatment unless specifically discussed.
Sensations & responses
It’s common for the body to continue responding to a treatment over the following 24–48 hours.
You may notice:
Temporary tenderness in treated areas
A sense of increased awareness or release
Changes in posture or movement
These responses are usually part of the body’s natural adaptation process.
If anything feels concerning or unexpected, you’re always welcome to get in touch.
Ongoing support
Massage works best as part of an ongoing relationship with your body.
Where appropriate, simple guidance may be offered during your session around:
Movement habits
Stress patterns
General body awareness
This guidance is always optional and intended to support, not overwhelm.
A note on medical concerns
Fibre Tense Massage does not provide medical diagnosis or treatment.
If you have a medical condition, injury, or ongoing concern, please consult a qualified healthcare professional. Massage may be used as a complementary support alongside appropriate medical care where suitable.
Questions or follow-up
If you have questions after your treatment, or would like to discuss how your body responded, you’re welcome to get in touch.
Support doesn’t end when the session finishes.
