Do people ever get sore after massage?
This may happen after a spasm or tight area has relaxed and blood flow is returned to normal. Consider a tight muscle as being like a clenched fist which allows the circulation to return after relaxing. Drinking plenty of water and using ice the night after your massage can reduce soreness the next day. Use a frozen gel pack in a pillowcase for twenty minutes. A relaxation massage should not require ice.
