Has anyone ever received a full body massage while terribly sore?

Question

I just hit the weight room for the first time in over a year. I'm so sore I can hardly move. Has anyone ever received a full body massage while in this condition? Was it worth it or should I just move on?

Answer 1

I have fibromyalgia so I know about all over soreness. Massage only made me feel worse...but it's a bit different than having worked out. I would just take a warm soak in the bath...maybe some epsom salts.

Answer 2

You should find it very helpful  Massage will improve circulation, lengthen and straighten your muscle fibers, and help eliminate the lactic acid resulting from your workout.

Answer 3

it's worth it.  Just ask for the Swedish or relaxation massage while you are this sore.  These are lighter pressure massages.
