The Unpleasant Surprise: Leg Pain After a Massage
Leg pain from massage is a temporary and normal response to the pressure and manipulation of muscle fibers. Precautions such as warming up, communicating with your therapist, and staying hydrated can help minimize this discomfort. If leg pain does occur post-massage, gentle stretching, foam rolling, and light physical activity are recommended to alleviate it. Certain massage techniques like deep tissue work may be more intense and require recovery time. In some cases, massaging specific areas can even help relieve existing leg pain.
