Most massage therapists will still charge you. I know i would. It's hard work and takes a lot of effort.

You get nothing for nothing.

You need to use a qualified physiotherapist. Dont use some who doesnt know what they're doing. When training for a marathon you dhould use the foam roller after long runs. Get a sports massage once a month. Make sure you have your protein after long training runs for muscle recovery. The cost can add up but still the cheapest sport you could be doing

Lactic acid will only occur during exercise or 20 to 30 mins after finishing exercise. Make sure it's lactic acid and not DOMS ( delayed onset muscle soreness) which can occur 12 to 48 hrs later. Both will pass with regular training and you will eventually build up your lactate threshold. Drink plenty of water after training to help flush out lactic acid in the bloodstream.

also i would advise a magnesium supplement for the muscle pain.

Foam roll next day and keep hydration levels up to flush toxins out.

look up foam rolling routines on google if youre not sure how/what you should be rolling.
