This is called post-massage soreness. It is very normal especially if you have not had a massage in a very long time or this is your first massage. There are a few reasons being we have worked in an area that has been held in a pattern for a long time and we have released areas that the body is now having to adapt to. Think of it similar to working out – your muscles have had local blood flow bringing into it nutrients and removing waste products. So there has been a ‘temporary’ increase in inflammation to areas that need attention. It is this inflammation that can bring discomfort. It should not last longer than 24 hours. You may also be severely dehydrated, we do encourage you to drink a lot of fluids (water). You can tell if you are dehydrated by the colour of your urination – peeing yellow or darker is a sure sign you are in a state of dehydration. If your soreness continues on for more than 2 days, we want to know so please contact us here.
