Why would one get a really bad headache after a Foot Reflexology massage?

I am not one to get headaches, much less the borderline migraine I had after the first and only reflexology massage I have ever had. Not to mention that I didn't really enjoy my reflexology massage and found it rather uncomfortable, because she rubbed my feet pretty hard. But, regardless - the circumstances surrounding this event were such that I may have been dehydrated after skiing all day on the mountain and having very little water to drink. I have also heard that massages in general release toxins so it is good to be hydrated prior to having one. Anyone else heard the same or believe anything different?

1. The reason that you have the headache after the reflexology session is because of the fact that it was moving the toxins out. It is best to have the water after you get the reflexology or massage because that helps to push the toxins out. If the headache doesn't clear up in a few days I would recommend seeing your doctor for further evaluation of the situation.
