A member asked:

I had a remedial massage last night and its been sore to touch and move since then. is it worthwhile for body to get muscle inflammation?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: A massage can cause tissue necrosis and pain if deeper tissues are massaged before the more superficial ones are relaxed. Only go to licensed massage therapists.
