Schedule an AppointmentAfter a rejuvenating CranioSacral, Lymph care, TRE or SSP session, it’s essential to extend the healing experience through thoughtful aftercare. Here are seven suggestions to enhance your well-being post-session, along with their associated benefits:
1. Hydration:
Benefit: Drinking plenty of water helps flush out toxins released during the session, rehydrates the body, and supports overall wellness.
Try adding non-caffeinated herbal teas hot or cold, to increase your fluid intake.
2. Gentle Walks:
Benefit: Take a leisurely walk in nature to promote circulation, enhance the therapeutic effects of the session, and create a sense of grounding.
3. Qigong or Mindful Movement:
Benefit: Engage in gentle exercises like Qigong to maintain the flow of energy, promote flexibility, and contribute to a sense of balance and well-being. These can be done seated too.
Whatever movement you do, stay slow and controlled for a day or two after the session, to support your body’s re-calibration. Love to dance? Warm up slowly and follow your body, notice what your body wants to show you!
4. Epsom Salt Baths:
Benefit: Soaking in an Epsom salt bath relaxes muscles, reduces inflammation, and enhances the overall relaxation experienced during the therapy session. Bathtub too tricky? Consider a foot soak instead.
5. Foot Soaks:
Benefit: A warm foot soak with Epsom salts promotes relaxation, soothes tired feet, and provides a grounding experience. No time? Consider soaking your feet while you eat a nice, nourishing, sit-down meal.
6. Deep, Gentle, Slow Breathing Exercises:
Benefit: Practice simple breathing exercises to stay relaxed, calm the nervous system, and maintain a sense of inner balance. Remember to breathe slow and steady with a long exhale to let your body know it is time for rest, and healing.
7. Rest and Mindfulness:
Benefit: Allocate time for rest and mindfulness, including meditation or quiet reflection, to integrate the session’s benefits and promote overall tranquility. Consider going to bed a little early or sleeping a little late to support the depth of healing on which your body is working.
Aftercare is a personal journey, and you can tailor these suggestions to suit your preferences. Incorporating these practices, even 5 minutes a day, into your routine can extend the positive effects of your treatment session, nurturing your body and mind on a deeper level. Embrace the art of post-treatment self-care to enhance your overall well-being.
BONUS:
Give yourself a gentle hug, let your arms find the most comfortable position, and allow yourself to receive the gift, for 20 seconds or more!
