Why do I get sore after a massage?

Sometimes after a massage, we can feel the sensation of soreness….which can be confusing as we generally go for a massage because we feel tight and want to release any soreness or pressure!

Do not be alarmed! This soreness is not harmful….in fact this response is somewhat expected at times due to our bodies different ways of responding to pressure being applied to certain areas.

Our massage therapist Vanessa explains this further, allowing us to understand the body’s response to a massage…whether it be the first time or the 50th! Click on the video below to find out more!

I am also a licensed massage therapist. I work for a different company, however, I think it is important to explain here a few more things about inflamation. Inflammatory response is a vital part of tissue healing. It helps to bring in needed nutrients to the tissue as well as take waist material away. Hydration plays a huge role in the process of property flushing waist as well. Alot of times post massage sorness is a result of imbalanced hydration. Much like post work out soreness. In layman's terms the body has a hierarchy of needs where Hydration is concerned. Muscle tissue of the back or arms for example is not as high as say other parts of the body, vital organs like the kidneys, liver, bowls, ect... when we work a specific muscle of muscle group more than it would be worked at any given time the chemical exchange within those muscles increases and so does waist product in the tissue. Because of this process an increase of Hydration is needed in the body to flush out waist while still supporting vital organ functions. Because the Hydration ideally goes to support the vital organs first additional Hydration is required during and sort of diuretic process. Massage is considered a diuretic or has similar effects. Thus if the body is not hydrated well enough and the waist is not able to be removed and nutrients brought in to the tissue and flush out remaining inflamation the result sorness. This is one major reason for post massage sorness, however not the only one that exists especially if there are morbidities or multiple morbidities present. But in an otherwise healthy body this is pretty much, though simpler version... whats happening to cause soreness post massage.

Feel sore after massage, get a second massage right after the first, soreness will subside after the second massage. Second massage would be very painful due to soreness.

Thanks for this. Yesterday I had a physio appointment release of seized ribs and they suggested a hot stone massage afterwards to relax the muscles. Today I feel stiff and sore. Hopefully it's just temporary inflammation

Very nice video!! Actually if your hypothalamus is functioning well then no flight or fight. But if sore happen then of course your ears are more sensitive to heat ext ext so fight or flight started already. My question is how many days a sore & sensitivities last? It should be around 5-10days. If I am wrong please correct me

You look Asian, (Probably Japanese) however It sounds like you have a Brazilian accent, But that you also spend some time in The UK but that you also lived or are living in North America. Am I right? (^_~)
