Herx from massage

I had a wonderful deep tissue massage yesterday. I had the worst headache after it though. This type of headache in the back of my head is typically my only herx symptom. Have others experienced this from massage?

I was surprised how intense and that it lasted all day.

There are actually quite a few things that will bring on a herx - too hot of a bath or shower, massage, acupuncture, stress, a lot more activity in one day than usual, among other things.

As Zuesy said, drinking plenty of water is always something we should be doing - it helps to flush the lymph system and keep the bowels with enough fluid to be sure they can do their thing, besides keeping us hydrated.
