feeling crappy after deep tissue massage?

[Helen]

I recently got one, and now feel crappy. It feels like body aches right before you get a flu or something. I drank alot of water like I was suppose to...but maybe not enough?

You may have not been hydrated enough prior to the message, also, a b12 supplement can help with muscle aches.

most people do feel crappy after-wards because the massage releases alot of toxins that have built up in the tissues and muscles over time. Drink more water and you will feel better than you ever have before - and if you get massaged more often then you will not feel this way and you will love getting massaged

That could be a good sign, that the massage released some of the toxins your body might be holding.

This is common after receiving a deep tissue massage. Toxins are built up in our bodies and can be held in muscles.

Or you are getting a cold and didn't realize it- and the massage sped up the process.
When getting a massage, espically DT, the fluids and everything else in your body is pushed through your system and muscles. Therefore, when you are "sick", all that "sickness" is getting pushed through too. It would have happened anyway, it was just done at a faster rate.
Stay hydrated. Get a good nights sleep. And just let it's run it's course.
Next time before getting a DT Massage, don't get one at all if you feel the slightest bit sick.
