Massage and bodywork can be profoundly relaxing, affecting all your body's systems.  Give yourself a moment to reorient before slowly getting up.

After a session, most people feel very relaxed.  Many experience freedom from aches and pains that have built up over months of tension or repetitive activity.  After an initial period of feeling slowed down, people often experience an increase in energy that can last for several days.

Sometimes you may not feel dramatic results right away.  Watch for changes over the following days, such as pain relief, increased mobility, or reduced stress.
