Sports/Deep Tissue Massage

[happy_2008]

Anybody had one before? I had my first sports massage on my tense hamstring on Tuesday and it still feels slightly sore. Been doing some reading and apparently this is perfectly normal? I think the soreness has extended as i walk a lot during the day during my commute.

Have had loads of them. You will experience some tenderness a couple of days afterwards.

Remember to drink plenty of water too

Best things ever.

Love them. Having someone stick their elbow into your already sore quads feels like something you shouldn't have to pay for, it's brutal and bordering on torture, but they work and you feel so good after

I'm not convinced that massage on an injured hamstring helps that much - have a look here https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2953308/

Is it normal to still feel sore after 4 days?

Yes, muscles take time to recover.
