I had a prenatal massage yesterday and she really worked on my shoulders. She kept commenting that they were really knotted up and tight. Today they are a little sore. I'd had a few massages before this one and I had no pain afterwards so I was kinda surprised to wake up with sore shoulders.

Yes! Lots of pain. And I felt sick for three days after my first prenatal!
-
Yes. I like feeling sore after my massages. It makes me feel like my muscles really got loosened up and I got money's worth!

It depends on how deep tissue the massage therapist gets. I typically don't mind getting a little sore either, although sometimes I prefer a more relaxing massage. It does help to drink lots of water afterward.

I've had a few massages (not prenatal) and have been sore after each one! Not just in my shoulders but in my feet and calves too.

Like @kentuckygirl: said, it just depends on how much deep tissue they do. Since she said you had a bunch of knots and was really tight, I'm guessing she did some work on you to loosen it up. Drinking lots of water will help flush out the toxins/lactic acid.

Oh yes, definitely. But that's how I know they did a good job working out the knots and loosening my muscles. I WANT to be sore the next day. Because once that soreness goes away, I feel 100x better.
I like massages that hurt afterwards, though. I only tend to go when I'm really tight/knotted up and I want someone to work those suckers out!
