Best Answer

When a massage therapist works your muscles to help relax and lengthen them, they are working the muscles in such a way that it can be similar to the effects you get the next day after you have started a new exercise routine. So sometimes, after getting a massage for the first time, a person can feel sore the next day because the muscles have been manipulated in a way that encourages them to rebuild themselves stronger, just like in exercise. This is called delayed-onset pain and should not be confused with immediate-onset pain that occurs during, or right after, physical exercise or massage. If you experience pain during, or a few hours after a massage, then it was done improperly and you should consult with the massage therapist, or if severe, see your doctor. Also, you should see another massage therapist if the condition didn't work the 1st one.
