Strong massage: Maybe the muscles are reacting to the massage. Perhaps a more gentle approach would eliminate the after effects. More information is needed to fully answer this question,.

Massage is: Wonderfully liberating... but it also liberates toxins, and a deep tissue massage can cause muscle breakdown as well. DRINK LOTS OF WATER! This will help with elimination of both from your bloodstream after massage. I agree a quick check with your doctor for a chemistry panel would be wise.
