A member asked:
Got a massage on shoulders and neck area now they both swollen what's up with that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Increased circulatio: Depending on the depth and intensity of massage (deep vs superficial), the swelling could be secondary to increase circulation in the area and a local reaction of the muscle. It should get better in 1-2 days, if not visit your doctor. Also, make sure the massage therapist is a certified one and let them know about your reaction so they can modify the treatment if needed. www.otwithmd.com.
