Is it safe to get a massage a week after Botox injections for forehead lines?

RSOGDD
Hi, I have a regularly scheduled massage for my neck and shoulder pain at my physical therapists office once a month. I realized I am getting Botox the week before my next upcoming appointment. Half of the hour long massage requires lying face down with my forehead resting in the massage table headrest. Will this contact and pressure cause my Botox to migrate or hurt my results? If so what is the recommended wait time between Botox injections and massage. Thanks.
