A common misconception I run into in my line of work is that if you're coming down with something, getting that a massage will help you recover faster.
I don't recommend it.
Getting regular massage does help reduce stress and boost the immune system, but it works better if you make it a part of your lifestyle before you start presenting symptoms. If you're already ill, it would probably be better in the long run to spend that hour napping at home--otherwise you could actually end up feeling worse after you get off the table than when you got on.
