BENEFITS OF MASSAGE AFTER FLYING

We all know that unless you are lucky enough to fly First Class, flying is not fun!  Especially flying internationally.

It is not uncommon for your legs and feet to swell during air travel and it is typically harmless. The most likely culprit is inactivity during a flight. Sitting with your feet on the floor for a long period of time causes blood to pool in your leg veins. The position of your legs when you are seated also increases pressure in your leg veins. This contributes to foot swelling by causing fluid to leave the blood and move into the surrounding soft tissues. 

If you will be checking in to the Baymont by Wyndham after a long flight, you may want to book either a body or foot massage shortly after arriving.    Experts will advise that  a massage will not only help to increase your blood flow,  but the oils your massage therapist will use will help to add moisture back into the skin. After every massage it's important to drink water, but try to drink even more so when you've had a post-flight massage.   Here are three great reasons to schedule one:

•  A massage is a great way to flush toxins out of your system and this may be even more beneficial when you’ve been on a long haul flight. After hours in the air, fluid can build up in the body, possibly causing you pain and discomfort. A professional masseuse will know how to manipulate the body’s lymph system to help drain the fluid and get you feeling like yourself again.

•  Jet lag is code for nausea, dehydration, tiredness and irritability, essentially all things uncomfortable. Massage is one of the best things you can do to combat these conditions, as it helps to rid your body of all its discomforts, making it easier to adjust to your new time zone. If you want to feel extra perky post-flight ask your massage therapist if they can use lavender oil during your treatment. It’s known to promote a sense of wellbeing and invigoration.  

•  Airplane seats are known for being uncomfortable and sitting for long periods of time anywhere is never good for your body. Joint tension is the number one concern of travellers post flight, with poor circulation coming in a close second. Luckily, a massage may be able to combat both of these issues.
