It is perfectly normal for your body to feel a bit sore for a day or more, especially after a deep massage or therapeutic massage. During a massage session, your muscles are rubbed and manipulated to increase blood circulation in difficult places. The lining of the muscles is supposed to be smooth and fluid. When the muscles are contracted, contracted or knotted, they become stiffer and limit the proper movements. During a massage, the massage therapist applies several techniques to break the adhesions in the tissues, whether superficial or deeper. The deeper the grip, the more sessions will be needed for your muscles to return to their normal function. As your body becomes accustomed to regular massage, you feel the pain of the next day less often, which makes the experience even more enjoyable. You should always tell your massage therapist if you feel pain during the massage.
