I plan on getting a deep tissue on my back and neck. Can I do a leg day workout afterwards? I wouldn't do any upper body. Just glutes, hamstrings, and quads (which aren't part of the massage).

Why not?

To me it would make more sense to workout, then get the massage, even if both are targeting different parts of the body. I usually feel so relaxed after a massage that I'm more likely to want to take a nap than to do anything strenuous.

A sports massage (deep tissue) is a bit different. If done right, nothing relaxing about it

You "can" but would it be wasted money if done before workout, instead of after

I used to box. we'd get brief sports massages before fights. I don't think many people here realize what a sports massage is. It's not lavender oils and gentle relaxing carrassing techniques You're somewhat in pain during the entire massage.
