Some clients report a slight feverish feeling after a massage. Is this normal?
Yes, Mild Temperature Rise Can Be Normal:
Massage increases circulation and metabolic activity
This can temporarily elevate body temperature
It is usually short-lived and harmless
Other Possible Causes:
Dehydration post-massage
Underlying illness surfacing due to immune response
Delayed onset muscle soreness
When It's Not Normal:
If you experience fever above 37.5°C lasting more than a day, it may not be related to the massage and could indicate an unrelated condition.
What You Should Do:
Stay hydrated
Rest after the session
Monitor your symptoms
Contact your massage therapist if unsure
