It depends on a few factors. If it is your first massage, a little bit of aching can occur 24-48 hours after a massage. This is the same as the delayed onset pain that people get when they start a new exercise regimen. The other factor can be your overall health. People that are less active, have nutritional deficiencies as a result of an eating disorder or chemical dependency, may have overall weaker body tissues, including muscles, and so may experience aching pains after a massage. Another common factor is the use of NSAIDs, non-steroidal anti inflammatory medications. If you have been using them for a long time, that can make your body ache after a massage.

If none of the above apply, then the last factor is the therapist. If they are inexperienced, not trained properly, or just have an attitude of "no pain, no gain," then they used too much pressure and caused the body aches you are experiencing.

Under most conditions, for a massage to be beneficial and healthy for your body, it should not ache after a massage treatment. If it does, the therapist bears the responsibility, because the first rule of massage, just like in medicine, is "Do no harm."
