Q: Is massage painful?

It's not unusual to feel some soreness during and after a treatment. This is due to the process to turn lactic acid into lactate to supply more energy in localize muscles during intense exercise or long hours of sitting, standing, walking, and bad postures. But the soreness after deep tissue massage or pressure points should not last more than 48-72 hours. This depends on the area we're working on, any pre-existing pains, and pressure. In which case, you can always ask the therapist to use less pressure at any time if it’s too uncomfortable.
