🙌Physical or direct: Involves deep pressure or direct application of a massage technique to soft tissue. This improves musculoskeletal health in order to address injury and relieve chronic patterns of tension.

🙌Integration: Combines various therapeutic options from a range of modalities. For example: Remedial massage with dry needling or cupping.
