Post massage muscle soreness is common to experience after receiving a remedial/deep tissue massage.
The muscle ache can last hours or days depending on the treatment, your bodies reaction and your recovery…
If you're experiencing muscle soreness after a massage it is because the soft tissues have been manipulated to break down adhesions, knots and holding patterns to restore muscle condition to a functional state.
Usually the more chronic or stubborn the condition is, the more depth is needed to challenge it to get it moving…
And just like with a heavy exercise workout, the soft tissues can feel the effects of "good hurt" by feeling sore and needing time to repair the resulting mini traumas afterwards.
