I don't know about massage, but you could try "resting" her for a few days, exercise restriction.

Same thing happened with Ben about the time he hit 7 months. No pain when touched anywhere, but the limp got a bit worse. After a few days, I took him to the vet. She checked him all over, and still no pain. Gave us some anti-inflamatory meds and told us to just watch him. He is growing and playing in a yard that's all ice right now, so it may have been a slight wrist twist, etc.........he's fine now. Just one of those things I guess. If I had the same limp I would not have gone to my doctor, but with Ben...hahahaha
