Sore after deep-tissue massage

[Kareem151]

Should you be sore after an 80 minute deep-tissue massage? I had one yesterday which was great, but today my back and hamstrings are a little sore. As my therapist told me I was extremely tense and tight, but I didn't think I would be sore the next day. Any advice?

Yes, this is quite common. Don't worry about it!

80 minutes???

Yea...it was a full-body 80 minute deep-tissue massage...it was a little painful but it was good pain if you know what i mean...i'm also drinking alot of water to keep myself hydrated...i'm just sore as hell!

Yep, that's pretty typical. When they get behind the shoulder blades is what kills me.
