From athletes managing injuries to office workers dealing with stiff shoulders, many people turn to this treatment to help their bodies function at their best.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yet, despite its popularity, misconceptions about remedial massage still prevent some from giving it a try. Some worry it will be unbearably painful, while others assume it is only useful for people with sports injuries.

By addressing five of the most common myths about remedial massage, we\u2019ll show what this therapy is really about and why it has become such a trusted option for pain relief and rehabilitation.
