Pain After a Deep Tissue Massage: How Long Does It Last?
Deep tissue massage can cause post-massage pain due to toxin release and muscle inflammation. This phenomenon, known as Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), usually occurs within 24-48 hours after intense physical activity or deep tissue massage. Factors influencing post-massage sensitivity include individual tolerance, session intensity, and pre-existing medical conditions. Proper hydration, relaxation techniques, and supplementing with proteolytic enzymes or omega-3 fatty acids can aid in recovery. Combining massage with other therapies might also be beneficial.
