After a massage the plan is simple: drink water, slow down for the rest of the day and don’t rush straight into a hard workout. Mild muscle soreness the next day is normal and goes away on its own. That’s all, no complicated rituals.
For the first few hours, your body responds best to a calmer rhythm. A light walk is great; sitting in the same position for a long time isn’t. Leave hard training, the gym and heavy lifting for tomorrow, especially after deeper therapeutic work. Alcohol on the same day isn’t the best idea either; your body has already been given enough work.
What’s normal: drowsiness, a feeling of heaviness or lightness, mild tenderness in the treated muscles for a day or two, similar to after a workout. What’s not normal: severe pain that gets worse, numbness or bruises you can’t explain. In that case, call +381 63 466414 so we can check what’s going on and how to proceed.
If you’d like to extend the effect, at Fizio Spa you can add a 60-minute sauna for 600 dinars or pressotherapy for the legs to your treatment. The salon is in the centre of Zrenjanin, Trg Slobode 3, hotel Vojvodina, level -1, so you don’t have to rush anywhere after your session.
The easiest thing is to book online via Fresha for the end of the working day or a free afternoon, so a calmer rest of the day comes naturally. For advice on scheduling, there’s also the contact page.
We’re open Monday to Friday from 8 am to 8 pm and on Saturdays from 8 am to 5 pm. Saturday morning is an excellent choice if you want the whole day to be yours after the treatment.
Drink water, take a gentle walk and leave aside any tasks that can wait. Move training and strenuous work to tomorrow. If you can, book your massage towards the end of the day, and the plan takes care of itself.
If after the treatment you experience severe pain that gets worse, numbness, weakness or swelling, it’s not a matter of aftercare but of a check-up. Contact us or a doctor to find out what’s going on before doing anything on your own.
Tell us what’s waiting for you after the session: training, a work shift, long hours of sitting or a trip. The therapist adjusts the depth of the work accordingly and tells you what to watch out for until tomorrow. Also mention if you’ve had stronger reactions after a massage before.
You can book online via our Fresha profile, through the contact page or by phone on +381 63 466414. If you’d like a sauna or pressotherapy after your massage, mention it when booking so we can reserve enough time.
