Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The soreness in the flank after a massage is likely to be due to a muscle sprain. This is usually self limiting and pain subsides on rest. If the pain is severe, then do take an oral muscle relaxant.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
