You are anywhere from 50 to 60 percent water!
One by-product of massage is that as it moves the toxins out of your tissues, it also flushes the fluids in your system and unneeded fluids will eventually be excreted by you. So it is very normal and very healthy to have to urinate after a massage.
So the next time you get a massage, you will know that it is so much more than just soothing sore muscles. It is helping your whole body.
By the way, this is also why a good massage therapist will remind you to drink plenty of water after a massage to help replenish.
in simple terms, the massage increases circulation (among other things) and that alone increases urine output.
