Yes. It hurts like the devil. Deep tissue massage often hurts you more than it helps you. Don't let anybody do that to you again.Has anyone ever had a deep tissue massage on the IT band to loosen it up?
Deep tissue massage to an injured thigh must be applied with caution. The muscle tissues at this point is vulnerable to sudden movements that may lead to further injury. It is advisable for you to consult with a therapist or visit a health spa and avail a massage therapy for you to be treated. Amenities such as a jacuzzi, warm water baths, and other hydrotherapy can give your muscle a relaxation during those cheap spa days.
Aches and pains can be a normal part of life. Sometimes we hurt our bodies without realizing it until later. Sometimes our muscles need a little help to loosen up, and the best way to do this is to get a massage. For the pain level you are describing , I would recommend getting a deep tissue massage. This is the type of massage that athletes typically get. It helps to not only loosen the muscles, but also realigns them back to the place they should be so they do not cause you pain. Hope that helps!
Deep tissue hurts, yes, but it does help. And the IT band is a very common area for tightness and tenderness. However, that is a little bit extreme, so the work was probably too deep for you (or else you've got quite a flair for the dramatic). Did they tell you to drink lots of water after the massage? That would help to flush out some of the crap they loosened up in there. Otherwise it just settles in again and makes you ache the next day.
