14. Hydration is Key
You know how after a massage the technician hands you a glass of fancy cucumber water and tells you to hydrate? It’s not just because she thinks you might be thirsty. It’s important to hydrate your muscles after any work, which includes exercise, massage therapy and foam roll treatments.
