Why Get a Morning Massage
Is a morning massage crazy? Maybe. But there are many great benefits and one awesome offer when getting a morning massage. Firstly, it'll boost your energy levels. Before you grab that cup of coffee, consider some additional ways to get that morning boost. Remedial massage isn't just for rehabilitation and maintenance. Stretching out and loosening those tight muscles allows you to start the day right and gives you the boost in energy that your body craves.
When you wake up in the morning, stiffness saps your body of energy that it so desperately craves. Exercise in the morning has been shown to boost your energy, but let's face it, exercise in the morning while it sounds great, it's pretty difficult to stick to. But massage on the other hand is a great alternative for starting the day off right.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is morning or evening better for a massage?
Neither is objectively better. Mornings suit people who want to carry the benefit through the working day. Evenings suit people who want to wind down and sleep. The best appointment is the one you will reliably keep.
Should I eat before a morning appointment?
Something light is fine and usually better than arriving on an empty stomach. Avoid a large meal immediately beforehand, since lying face down shortly after eating is not especially comfortable.
Can I go straight to work afterwards?
Yes, most people do. If you have had deep work you may feel a little loose or tender for a few hours. Drinking water and moving regularly through the morning helps.
Will a morning massage make me sleepy?
Some people feel relaxed for an hour or so afterwards. Most feel looser rather than sleepy. If you know treatment tends to make you drowsy, allow a little time before anything demanding.
Can I train after a morning massage?
Light training is generally fine. After deep work it is sensible to keep intensity down that day and return to normal the next, particularly if the work was on the muscles you are about to load.
