Why do Massage Therapists always say “Drink lots of water!”?

Massage, especially with deeper pressures, releases toxins such as metabolic waste from the muscles. Water is needed to help flush these out as well as to ensure proper hydration of the muscle. Without proper water consumption following a massage, these toxins will be reabsorbed by the body. In some cases, this can actually cause the person to experience flu-like symptoms. Best to just drink the water! In fact, for best results, drink plenty of water all the time!
