Hello Topo,
It sounds like it was deep tissue massage or sports massage that you had.
My massage also can hurt, even a bit after the treatment if the muscles have been in very bad condition, (but it's a good hurt) because the muscle fibres get re-aligned to the right working structure with the massage which enables the muscle to work then to it's maximum capacity, or at least a better capability.
Feel free to give me a call for mor info or an appointment any time.
Cheers, Emma
