Random massage/exercise question

[anna7602]

I got a massage today, mainly because my back and shoulders were killing me after pulling a couple of all-nighters in front of the computer.

Would it be a bad idea to go for a run this evening? The masseuse mentioned my muscles would probably be sore post-massage.

If you say no, how soon would you go? Tomorrow morning? Wait until the weekend?

I'd go if you want to. Keeping those muscles moving and loose will help.

Ditto pamela. Also, make sure you chug some water and no alcohol for 24 hrs.

I wouldnt wait. Do some stretches, warm up exercises of course. But movement is the best. I work in front of a PC all day and there are days I am in pain due to my back issues, but I find exercise to be the best medicine.

If you have enough energy, do it! I always feel completely zapped and lethargic after a massage, so working out right away wouldn't even be appealing to me. Ditto on drinking lots of water, though.
