This allows the metabolic waste to get dumped, all at once, into the lymphatic system. The faster delivery of nutrients and oxygen and their resulting combustion can use up water from your bloodstream — which may leave you feeling thirsty or dehydrated. Mostly living a sedentary lifestyle or being physically inactive are causes but it can also be triggered by the overuse of muscles during a new exercise regime, particularly after periods of inactivity.
Sometimes when you are under physical, emotional or chemical stress, the lymphatic system can become stagnant and metabolic waste solidifies — congesting the surrounding moving parts. Deep tissue, sports and remedial massage focuses on breaking down crunchy adhesive knots to un-tie and free up the blood vessels to allow the supply of blood and removal of waste from your tissues.
Massage stimulates circulation and the removal of waste, generated from muscle metabolism, through the lymphatic system. Waste can also contain allergens, excess fat, viruses and bacteria. Metabolic waste accumulates around the cells in a liquid called interstitial fluid and needs to be transported back to the bloodstream to be filtered through the liver and kidneys. Massage pushes and moves this fluid around causing the body to require more water to flush out and process the releasing toxins.
Firstly, why do you get light headed? It's quite common for someone to feel light headed just after a massage as the treatment is likely to reduce blood pressure, so get up slowly after the treatment and have a glass of cold water. If you are noticing light headedness during a massage, it's probably worth having a word with you doctor as you may be suffering from hypotension or low blood pressure, you should also inform your therapist of this.
Secondly light headed is not a contra-indication unless it is severe as advised by a doctor. Normal hypotension can be handled after consultation with a doctor with a softer touch massage but caution is advised as the blood pressure will still reduce as a result of massage reducing the blood pressure as the parasympathetic nervous system takes over. Talk this over with your doctor and your therapist.

Joined Dec 13, My sister in law is going to massage school and gave me a couple of massages last week, she told me too drink a bunch of water afterwards because the massage can release toxins in your muscles and make you feel icky if you don't flush them out Joined Aug 6, Perfectly normal.
Your fluids are moving again Your body is basically detoxifying. Drink lots and lots and lots of water. You may still feel a bit off tomorrow as well. ETA: You really will only feel that way after your first massage unless it's a very, very long time in between Joined Jun 26, Joined May 20, Did you drink any alcohol?
This is perfectly normal and will usually only last for a few hours following your massage, as your body regulates itself. Should this feeling recur, you should talk to your doctor or massage therapist. Please note that muscle soreness for a couple of days afterwards is also fairly common. One of the best things you can do to help is to rehydrate your body. This means drinking plenty of water and rest your muscles for a few hours to give them time to re-energize, try drinking something with electrolytes to help replenish your supply.
