Healing Hands - Paul Brown Massage Therapy

Not really a modality of massage, but rather “deep tissue” describes two things: first, it describes techniques for accessing the deeper layers of muscle, the “deep” tissue; Secondly, it is often used as a shorthand expression among therapists for “as deep as the client needs” - so what could be a “deep tissue” massage for one client might be considered a more superficial massage by another client.

There are more than 150 variations of massage, bodywork and somatic therapy techniques. Many practitioners utilize an integration of techniques.
