Does massage therapy have side effects?
Massage therapy is generally very safe, but some people may experience mild and temporary effects afterwards.
The most common side effect is slight muscle soreness or tenderness, similar to how you might feel after exercise. Some people may also feel relaxed, tired, or occasionally experience a mild headache or light bruising, depending on the type of treatment.
These effects are usually short-lived and settle within 24–48 hours.
If you have an injury, medical condition, or are unsure if massage is suitable for you, it’s best to discuss this before treatment so it can be tailored appropriately.
