Newly qualified and need a bit of advice. My very first client has complained of pain following my massage, just want to check this is fine - The massage was on Saturday. She is a dancer who has been dancing a lot recently and did not feel any tightness in her calf muscles when she came for the massage.They did feel rather tight when I massaged them and she was surprised to feel a bit of muscular pain during the treatment. She has an old injury which I dont think healed properly - she danced throught the pain rather than resting (lots of fibrous scar tissue built up) so worked quite a lot on that area. Her legs felt fine on Saturday after the massage but when dancing on Sunday her calf muscles felt quite stiff and sore. I think that this is perhaps quite normal as there will be quite a lot of lactic acid build up being released plus the massage was quite deep. What do you think - is this quite normal? I am just quite nervous as i am quite new to this.
