Muscle Relaxants and Massage

​Muscle relaxants are drugs that affect the functionality of the skeletal function of muscles and lowers muscle tone. When the drug is used, you will not be able to feel any tension in your muscles or pain until the drug’s concentration is removed from the body system.
Taking a muscle relaxants or any other medication before going for a massage is not advisable especially if the massage therapist is not aware that you are using such medications. When booking a massage appointment, it is always advisable to let the massage therapist know if you are under any kind of medication and any health complication you may be suffering from.
When you take a muscle relaxer or a pain medication before going for a massage, the level of discomfort and pain you will feel during the entire process will be affected. You will not be able to know when the massage therapist is using too much pressure on you and this may have negative effects once the effect of the drug wears off.
Though it is not advisable to get on with a massage when you are under intense pain, masking the pain by taking muscle relaxers in not in your best interest too. A massage can be uncomfortable at times if you suffer from chronic pain or have an injury. Let the massage therapist know the intensity of the pressure you are most comfortable in so that he can work within the limits that will not cause more problems from a procedure that is supposed to make you feel better.
Some of the side effects of using muscle relaxers include:
  • Drowsiness; muscle relaxants will make you feel drowsy or sleepy and this will affect your coordination when the massage is ongoing. You will not be able to fully concentrate on what the massage therapist is doing and this may lead to the use of too much pressure that will have devastating effects after the effects of the drug wears off.
  • Fatigue: You will experience a tired feeling and this may make you not to enjoy the massage.
  • Dizziness or a light-headed feeling
  • Dryness in the mouth
  • Low blood pressure: when the blood pressure, is low, there is a possibility of losing your balance which will not be very good after a massage session.
Never take a muscle relaxer in an effort to make a deep tissue massage or any other form of massage more comfortable. You need to feel the pressure that the massage therapist is using during the massage so that you can inform him in the event that the massage pressure gets too much. If you are under any form of pain before getting a massage, let the massage therapist know so that you can either use less pressure or postpone the massage to a later date when you will be in a better state of health. Muscle relaxants are not a cure for muscle pain but will only mask the problem when their concentration is high but once the effect wears off, the pain will still be there. Be open to the massage therapist so that he can provide the services needed within the limits that your body can withstand.
