Generalized body aches the day after a back massage may result from excessive pressure during the massage, causing local soft tissue injury, or from blockages in the meridians leading to poor circulation and localized lactic acid buildup. Additionally, if the body's surface meridians are invaded by external pathogenic factors, disrupting the flow of qi and blood, or if the individual suffers from bi syndrome (a TCM term for obstructive pain disorders), similar symptoms may occur regularly. It is recommended to follow medical advice for treatment.
