💆‍♀️ “I didn’t expect to feel sore after massage…”
If it’s your first time — or if you’ve been carrying pain for a long time — feeling surprised or even worried about soreness is completely understandable.
According to Australian health guidance, mild soreness or tenderness after massage is normal and usually settles within a couple of days.
This can happen because your muscles, nerves, and circulation are being stimulated and adjusting
— especially when tight areas or chronic tension are treated.
Many people describe it as similar to post-exercise soreness. It’s simply your body responding to change.
âś” Communicate with your therapist
âś” Stay hydrated
âś” Gentle movement helps
If discomfort feels severe or doesn’t improve — always seek medical advice.
