Is your ‘masseur’ medically trained and insured.

You should tell your physiotherapist the symptoms you are suffering before they start your treatment next time.
I have problems, which I wasn’t aware of until recently, regarding blood circulation, causing side effects such as headaches and feeling lightheaded.

I've had 2 recently for a bad back, I think it's helping my back but I feel so weird after. Dizzy to the point of not being able to walk properly for at least half an hour after. Disorientation and ligh headedness continues and then a massive headache, so bad I had to go to bed when I got in. Next day generalised muscle aches which I expect and know is normal but still feeling a bit headachey.
I really want to continue with them for the benefits to my back pain, but is this normal?
My blood pressure isn't high, and I know it can actually make your blood pressure low, but the masseur said it's unusual for these symptoms to last longer than a few minutes after...
