It's a difficult thing to live with. I loved treating our fibro clients, they appreciated massage so much more than most! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1002101 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:59:58 +0000 Synchronicity 1002101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Could be something that one of his instructors told him! Education levels reaaaaaally differ depending on location as well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001822 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:15:27 +0000 Alivoo01 1001822@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PermaStudent: Thanks for the clarification!! I'm still dumbfounded. haha. The massage therapist is a fairly young gentleman too!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001771 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 20:06:05 +0000 PointeShoesTutus 1001771@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not a fan of massages that leave me sore the next day. Ever since I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, I've become a total wimp about pain.</p> <p>DH, on the other hand, thinks the only good massage is the one that leaves you super sore two days later. But he is a crazy man though :wink:</p> <p>@PermaStudent: thank you for saying something about the "clearing toxins" bs. DH refuses to believe me when I say it's a bunch of hooey! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001645 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:44:19 +0000 MrsH 1001645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm usually sore in a good way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001630 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:41:13 +0000 BoogieBea 1001630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope, I'm not a big fan of deep tissue massages. The most intense massage I'll get are Thai massages. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001607 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:38:26 +0000 Synchronicity 1001607@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsF: No problem! Hindsight is 20/20 :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001458 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 19:06:37 +0000 MrsF 1001458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PermaStudent: Thanks for the info! I'm a nurse and I totally bought it. I figured it had to do with muscle breakdown or something. Sounds a little crazy when i put it in writing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001411 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:53:51 +0000 Synchronicity 1001411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: Unfortunately some MTs continue to encourage the myths, although usually not intentionally! Some just haven't updated their education in a while, because there is a ton of evidence out there now that falsifies all that toxin/lactic acid stuff. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001404 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:51:30 +0000 Synchronicity 1001404@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you Google "Massage lactic acid myth" or something similar, you'll get a ton of hits, some easier to read (and more trustworthy) than others. </p> <p><a href="http://www.indoorcyclingassociation.com/blog/?p=1873" rel="nofollow">http://www.indoorcyclingassociation.com/blog/?p=1873</a></p> <p>@MrsF: The water thing is a total myth as well ;) Usually related to "clearing out toxins" or some sort of BS like that. Don't get me wrong, staying hydrated is super important, but you don't need to drown yourself in water after a massage any more than you would after walking up a flight of stairs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001386 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:45:19 +0000 Alivoo01 1001386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PermaStudent: Really?!???? That's what the massage therapist told me! Now, I'm completely baffled! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001376 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:43:04 +0000 MrsF 1001376@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PermaStudent: interesting! I sort of believed that too! They have told me to drink a lot of water afterwards - is that part of the myth? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001367 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:40:39 +0000 Synchronicity 1001367@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Alivoo01: The lactic acid thing is a myth that will not die! </p> <p>I'm almost finished a 3 year massage therapy program in Canada... feeling sore is totally normal! It's usually related to microtrauma that has occurred at the level of muscle, fascia and other tissues that were manipulated during the treatment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001262 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:08:57 +0000 BananaPancakes 1001262@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like to feel sore if I'm going regularly and want them to be tough. If I just want to relax, I don't like to push hard enough to get me sore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001256 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:06:41 +0000 Alivoo01 1001256@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yup because they work out all the lactic acid. I'm always super tired/sleepy afterwards too because I don't hydrate well. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001248 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:03:19 +0000 SleepyMonkey 1001248@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>same as @Rubies, i need to feel sore. i like them to use really firm pressure and feel like i got my money's worth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001247 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:03:01 +0000 regberadaisy 1001247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rubies: hahah very good point. If you're not then they probably didn't do a great job! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-1001244 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:01:17 +0000 Rubies 1001244@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only feel good if I AM sore the next day. If I'm not sore, then I get annoyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/are-you-sore-the-day-after-a-massage#post-998581 Thu, 08 Aug 2013 18:00:00 +0000 regberadaisy 998581@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went for a couples massage yesterday and today I'm a little sore! I think it's cuz they worked out all my stress areas! </p>
