After your treatment

In the 24 hours following your initial treatment you should try to take it easy. 

• Avoid any abrupt and forceful movements.  After treatment your body is adapting to any changes we have made and is susceptible to returning to pre-treatment state if you engage in strenuous activity during that 24 hours.
• Drink plenty of water.  Fluids will be moving in your body as the fascia loosens and will need to be replaced.

On the day after treatment you may notice muscle soreness - as if you began a new workout.  This can occur anywhere in the body.  This soreness should dissipate over the second day.

If at any point you have questions or concerns do not hesitate to contact Dr. Sharpe, by phone, text or email.
