Some massages may cause discomfort, but some are productive. You should keep your pain level between 7 and 10, with 10 being too severe.
Myth 2 – Massage therapy removes toxins from the body
No. This is a common misconception. It is not supported by the scientific community that massages can cause toxins to be released from the muscles.
Massage therapy may have a long-term effect on circulation. This will improve your body’s natural ability for waste disposal.
