After CST it is recommended to rest and relax, even if it is only a few moments, before stepping back into your busy life.
It is generally recommended that you take it easy on your body for a day or two after a CST treatment, and avoid any other bodywork for 48-72 hours so as to allow the body to settle into its new state.
Although it may not be obvious to you during the session, your body has done a lot of work, self-correcting and it is a good idea to drink plenty of water and rest adequately after a CST treatment to help support the body in its healing process.
