Return to your day gradually

After a massage, take a few minutes to sit up slowly, notice how you feel and change position with care. Responses differ, so there is no need to follow a rigid routine.

6 practical aftercare reminders

  1. Drink according to your usual thirst and needs.
  2. Choose a moderate meal if you are hungry.
  3. Prefer gentle movement over an immediate intense workout.
  4. Keep the skin clean and observe areas where products were applied.
  5. Remember sensitive areas to discuss next time.
  6. Keep the evening less rushed where possible.

What deserves attention?

A brief sense of relaxation or mild sensitivity can vary between guests. Increasing pain, swelling, breathing difficulty, persistent dizziness or a marked skin reaction deserves appropriate assessment.

Feedback supports a better next session

Tell the Himalaya team how you felt afterward. This helps the next appointment respond to your experience instead of applying the same formula to every guest.
