Unexpected Pain After Panchakarma Massage Did I Do It Wrong - #1389
I had my first Panchakarma massage yesterday, hoping it would help with my back pain and anxiety. It was called Abhyanga, with warm herbal oils, and honestly, it felt amazing during the session. But now, a day later, I’m feeling really sore and achy, especially in my lower back and shoulders. 😣 The therapist said the massage would release toxins, but I didn’t expect to feel worse after! Is it normal to have pain like this post-massage? I’m also wondering if they used too much pressure because it felt quite deep. Should I continue with more sessions, or is this a sign it wasn’t the right treatment for me?
