Why you may feel tired after Reflexology or Massage with us at Body Revive Barnsley.

If you leave your treatment feeling sleepy, heavy or a little drained, don’t worry — it’s completely normal, and it means your body is responding well to you treatment.

Your body finally relaxes.

During your treatment, your nervous system switches from “go-go-go” to deep rest. Once you slow down, that wave of tiredness can follow.

Muscles let go of tension.

As tight areas release, your body uses energy to rebalance — which can leave you feeling calm, heavy and ready for a nap.

Circulation gets a boost.

Improved blood and lymph flow means your body starts clearing out waste products, and that natural detox can make you feel a little sleepy.

Stress melts away.

Massage and reflexology can also release emotional tension, which sometimes shows up as low energy and mood before you feel lighter again.

A quiet evening, plenty of water and a bit of rest will help everything settle down.

Your body is simply recharging.
