Spa

Question: Is it possible for spa treatments or massages to make you feel sick?

I doubt that that's the reason why i feel like this but i cant think of anything i did that should make me feel this bad. i felt absolutely fine yesterday and today i woke up and my neck was really sore and i feel extremely light headed and my hands wont stop shaking. i ate and drank lots of water and nothing is making it go away. i dont feel nautious or anything just really dizzy and shaky.

Yes. This can happen as a result of a detoxifying reaction. Make sure you drink more water after those therapies and get some rest. Your body needs it.

Yes it possible that you are having these symptoms as a result of your treatment. Your therapist should have informed you off this! Any massage/ holistic therapy can cause these sort of symptoms, they are know as contra-action (healing crises) Its nothing too worry about and just means that the body is in the process of cleansing and healing itself. Just continue to eat lightly for a couple of days and continue drinking lots of water.. These symptoms should subside in a couple of days, but if they persist then you should contact your therapist.
