Massage is a useful procedure. It improves well-being, soothes shattered nerves and stimulates the normal functioning of the body. But in some cases, massage can be harmful. The sudden onset of temperature after massage is especially frightening. Here, first of all, it should be remembered that massage is a therapeutic procedure, which means that a specialist should carry it out. Otherwise, you can harm your health.
Why does the temperature rise after massage?
During the procedure, the masseur acts on the body, muscles and nerves. If after the session the temperature rises to 37,5 degrees, then you should not panic. This is a normal and normal reaction of the body.
The fact is that an active effect on certain points and areas of the body causes an acceleration of blood flow in the muscles and skin. As a result, the temperature may rise slightly.

An adult’s temperature rises after the massage
If, after the massage, an adult has a fever, then something is wrong in the body. There may be several reasons:
When exposed to the body, hidden inflammatory processes are activated.
If a person suffered a serious illness before the massage, a relapse may occur after the procedure, performed carelessly.
Metabolic disorders are another reason.
There is a problem in the area of the body where the massage was performed.
In any case, the doctor must be notified. Perhaps such procedures are contraindicated for you.
After the massage, the child’s temperature rises
Massage is also prescribed for small children. Babies need to be handled carefully, and the mother should monitor the child’s well-being after such procedures. The child may also have a slight fever. But it’s okay if he:
not capricious;
eats with appetite;
active and cheerful.
Sometimes children sleep soundly after the massage. It’s okay too. After half an hour, the temperature readings should stabilize. If this does not happen, it means that there is an infection in the child’s body or an inflammatory process occurs.
The temperature after the procedure may also rise due to the child’s anxiety. If during the massage the baby was crying, screaming and nervous, then it is quite possible that the cause of the heat is stress. However, ideally, the child should calmly perceive what is happening, only then the massage will be beneficial.
