EPSOM SALT BATH
- It is extremely important that you take an EPSOM SALT BATH as soon as
possible following treatment. This will significantly enhance the results of
the treatment.
- EPSOM SALTS can be purchased at SHAPE or the drugstore.
- Treatments cause an increase in blood circulation to the injured area in
order to promote healing of the tissues. As well, the treatment helps relax the
injured tissues, decrease inflammation, relax tension and spasm within the
muscle and or joint. These effects ultimately promote the release of lactic
acid and chemical buildup in the injured tissues and surrounding areas.
- EPSOM SALTS have a high magnesium content, which draws out the lactic
acid and chemical buildup that has been mobilized from the injured tissues
enhancing recovery and promoting healing.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TAKING THE BATH:
- Use 2-4 cups in a full bath of warm to hot water (as warm as you can
tolerate).
- You must soak in the bath for a minimum of 20 minutes, without adding any
bathing solutions or oils and without using soap, as these substances will alter
the chemistry of the water.
- After soaking for 20 minutes, you may wash or rinse off as you wish.
 REPLACE FLUIDS you lose through perspiration during the bath, keep a glass of cold water beside you and sip it during the bath.
CAUTION: If you have a heart condition, you should moderate the water temperature and
avoid submerging your body above heart level.

Our Clients Say
Thanks for last week's treatment. Sunday's run (I did my own 25 km instead of the Half Marathon race) was smooth as butter. You were right, my legs felt like a million bucks! Since the combo of massage and treatment worked so effectively.
