A few years ago a client announced that she had just consumed a couple beers to help her relax during her massage. Sound good? Not really! Alcohol, even one drink, can interfere with a client’s ability to correctly perceive how their body is responding to massage treatments. They may not realize that pressure is too much or that pain sensations are changing or even occurring! In addition, alcohol causes the body to pull hydration out of tissue cells to increase available fluid for the kidneys to flush out the “toxin.” Combined with the metabolites that massage releases from muscles and fascia this can make the client want to throw up. Alcohol is NOT good to mix with massage! Sadly, we had to reschedule.

Takes one to know one! I love that you always have a form of hydration in hand whenever we get together. You are a good role model.
