Question

Is it normal to be sore after a massage?

Answer 1

If you've had a deep tissue massage done it's very normal to feel some soreness after the deep tissue massage.

The soreness should go away after 72 hours.

Answer 2

Feeling sore after a massage is normal for a day or so.

However if you continue feeling sore longer than a few days or a week later then something may be wrong.

But experiencing some soreness for a few days after the massage is normal and nothing to worry about.

I sometimes go in for massages and feel sore for a day or so and then after that I feel much better and no longer sore.
