After a massage:
Some types of massage can leave you feeling a little sore the next day.The pressure during a massage treatment should not be  painful as such, often an area needs more manipulation then others  to release the sprain or tension but this should always feel within a comfortable level. Our clients  feel energised  and very relaxed after our massages.
