Why is it important for a client to sit following a body wrap?

Sitting after a body wrap is important primarily because it allows the client to regain equilibrium. During a body wrap, the body may experience various changes such as increased circulation and warmth, which can temporarily elevate heart rate and alter the body's balance. By sitting for a while post-treatment, the client can gradually adjust and stabilize their physiological state, ensuring that they do not feel lightheaded or dizzy.

This practice supports the client's comfort and overall experience by providing a moment of rest and helping them return to a neutral state. Additionally, remaining seated can give the client time to process the treatment effects and hydrate if necessary, further supporting their well-being.

While aspects such as metabolism, sweat loss, and product absorption are relevant in the context of body wraps, the primary focus should be on restoring the client’s balance and comfort after the procedure.
