I've been a registered massage therapist for sixteen years, and I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that it's not a normal reaction to deep work on its own. However, if the therapist unintentionally activated trigger points or worked too deep, too long on the shoulders and neck, it can cause headaches. If it happens again, call the therapist the next day and let her/him know.
