Why Drink Water After Massage? in Maple Leaves - Dubai | ☎ +971-52-327-1188
Many massage therapists believe1
that “toxins” are “flushed” into the bloodstream by massage and then
washed away by drinking extra water after you get off the table. Exactly
which toxins and how they are “flushed” by massage or washed away by
water is completely unclear to anyone. Many therapists know it’s all
rather vague but apply the precautionary principle: drinking water certainly won’t hurt,
right? No, probably not (although unnecessary worries about dehydration
and over-hydrating are biggers problems than most people realize2).
It’s polite and pleasant to offer post-massage water, but there’s no
biological, detoxifying need for it. It’s about on par with a
recommendation to “think positively” or “go for a short walk to get your
blood moving” — fine things, but tepid medical advice.
