In short, most likely. This is especially true for those who come in with chronic pain, muscle tightness/imbalances. Also, those who are new to deep tissue pressure can also expect to be sore. The reason for this is that, once soft tissue becomes restricted and bound up, it creates muscle knots and trigger points. Basically, these are myofascial restrictions. When these restrctions/knots are broken up or reduced, it will create a Delayed Onset of Muscle Sores (DOMS). It is perfectly normal and to be expected for a day or two.
Keep in mind that you can always adjust the pressure by letting your therapist know if its too much or not enough. Letting your therapist know whether the pressure is comfortable or not is vital to prevent pain, which is different from soreness. Most clients refer to the soreness as a “good soreness” or “good pain” the day after your session.
We recommend gym clothes, shorts/leggings/tank top/sports bra for medical massage.
