Not likely : Massage is a very useful modality for many musculoskeletal problems but these symptoms suggest there may be a problem with the meniscus and this will not respond to massage. A good history and physical exam is key and MRI is diagnostic testing to confirm. If it it swells intermittent icing and anti-inflammtories can provide temporary relief.
