Massages do release toxins... I remember getting one when I was drinking and I was absolutely drunk afterwards. (The god only knows how many glasses of wine that I had that day probably played a big role too.)

However, after a year... I wouldn't think that you have anything to worry about. Maybe ask the massage therapist.

I'm no expert, but I wouldn't think there'd be any toxins left to release after a year, let alone show up on a drug test....

I believe it does- though primarily in the form of lactic acid that builds up in the muscles (which is why you're usually encouraged to drink a lot of water after getting a massage).

I'd suggest drinking a lot of water before and after, and you should be fine.

Well...
AWdesign did not say what substance
or how many....and we are not experts..
nor do we know what type of drug test

I don't think we can absolutely know

I don't know the answer to your question but enjoy your massage! I'm jealous.
