The services on this page are limited to what an RMT offers. The core bookable service is Registered Massage Therapy (therapeutic massage), available at his in-home practice or by mobile visit, with the pressure you choose, from soft through medium to deep. Pressure and pace are adjusted to you, not the other way around.
Bruno Panucci RMT, 25 years of practice: “People sometimes ask whether to book deep or soft pressure. In practice it is one massage therapy service, and I tailor the pressure within the session rather than treat it as separate menus. We talk first, I check in as we go, and I work at a level you can breathe through. The goal is comfort and function, not pushing through pain.”
What you can book: Registered Massage Therapy (therapeutic massage, with pressure from soft through medium to deep), lymphatic drainage massage, and TMJ / jaw-tension massage, all Registered Massage Therapy within Bruno’s scope, at his in-home practice or by mobile visit. Other specialty modalities (such as Indian head massage, reflexology, and cupping) and osteotherapy appear on this site as information pages only. Those are not services Bruno offers, and they are explained further down. Every visit is professional therapeutic massage, with CMTO draping, consent, and privacy standards followed throughout.

What massage services does Bruno offer in Brantford?
Bruno Panucci RMT offers Registered Massage Therapy, available at his in-home practice or as a mobile visit across Brantford and Brant County, with the pressure you choose. At the deep end, firmer, sustained pressure works the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue, which is what most people book for tension, stiffness, and recovery. At the soft end, lighter, flowing strokes bring a sense of relaxation and support circulation. Because Bruno adjusts pressure throughout a session, many clients receive a blend across that range rather than a single fixed setting. Both are professional, clinical, therapeutic massage, with consent and draping standards followed at every step.
Deep-tissue / therapeutic massage
Firm, sustained pressure for the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. Research suggests massage may help ease subacute and chronic low back pain in the short term, though evidence quality is limited.
Lymphatic drainage massage
Gentle, rhythmic techniques that may help encourage lymph flow and ease puffiness or swelling. Provided as Registered Massage Therapy within Bruno’s scope; research on outcomes is still developing.
TMJ / jaw-tension massage
Focused work for the jaw, face, and surrounding muscles that may help ease tension related to the temporomandibular joint. Offered as Registered Massage Therapy within Bruno’s scope.
Soft and medium pressure
The same Registered Massage Therapy at a lighter touch, with flowing strokes for comfort and relaxation. A good starting point if you are new to massage or prefer a gentler session.
Mobile / in-home visits
The same Registered Massage Therapy, available as a secondary option in Brantford and Brant County. Useful when travel, mobility, or scheduling makes coming to the practice hard.
How much does massage therapy cost in Brantford?
Pricing with Bruno Panucci RMT is straightforward and depends on where the session happens. A 60 minute session at his in-home practice is $115. An in-home visit within Brantford is $190, which reflects the travel and setup involved in bringing a full therapeutic massage to your space. Visits outside Brantford (Paris, St. George, Mt. Pleasant, Burford, and the wider Brant County area) cost more than $190 because of the added travel, and the exact amount is quoted when you book. There are no fixed posted hours; Bruno’s live availability is on his Jane booking page, and he is often flexible outside those times, so a text is the fastest way to confirm.
| Where | Session | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Private in-home practice | 60 minutes | $115 |
| In-home, within Brantford | Mobile visit | $190 |
| In-home, outside Brantford (Brant County) | Mobile visit | More than $190, quoted at booking |
Receipts for most extended health plans are provided so you can submit for reimbursement. Direct billing available for most insurers; see the billing and insurance for sessions page for current details.
In-home practice or mobile: which should you book?
The choice between Bruno’s in-home practice and a mobile visit usually comes down to logistics and comfort, not the quality of the massage, which is the same Registered Massage Therapy either way. The in-home practice is the simplest and lowest-cost option at $115 for 60 minutes, with a setup already in place. An in-home visit ($190 within Brantford) suits people who would rather not drive, who have mobility or scheduling constraints, or who simply relax better at home. For an in-home visit, you provide a quiet space and Bruno brings the table and supplies. If you live outside Brantford, an in-home visit is still available across Brant County, with the travel reflected in a quote at booking.
| Consideration | Private in-home practice | In-home (mobile) |
|---|---|---|
| Price (60 min) | $115 | $190 within Brantford; more outside, quoted at booking |
| Travel | You come to Bruno’s practice | Bruno comes to you |
| Setup | Already in place | Bruno brings the table and supplies; you provide a quiet space |
| Best for | Lowest cost, simplest option | Mobility, scheduling, or comfort of home |
Soft, medium, or deep: how much pressure should you choose?
Deep, medium, and soft describe points on a single pressure scale within one massage therapy service, not separate products. At the soft end, lighter, flowing strokes bring comfort and circulation, and it is a relaxing starting point if you are new to massage. At the deep end, firmer, sustained pressure reaches the inner layers of muscle and the connective tissue around them, which many clients book for tension, stiffness, and post-exercise recovery. Deep tissue should be firm, not damaging; effective pressure feels like a manageable “good ache” you can breathe through, not sharp pain. Bruno checks in as he works and eases off when needed. Because he adjusts within the session, you do not have to diagnose yourself in advance; a short conversation at the start sets the approach.

Are receipts and direct billing available?
Receipts for most extended health plans are provided after your session, which you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement. Many Ontario benefit plans cover Registered Massage Therapy when it is performed by an RMT, so it is worth checking your own plan’s coverage and whether a physician’s note is required. Direct billing, where Bruno bills your insurer directly so you pay only any remaining balance, is available for most insurers and availability depends on the carrier. Rather than assume, check the direct billing and insurance page for what is currently in place, or text Bruno and ask about your specific plan before you book.
Receipts and insurance: Bruno provides receipts you can submit for most extended health plans. Direct billing available for most insurers. Coverage and any referral requirement depend on your own plan, so confirm with your insurer. See direct billing and insurance in Brantford.
What are the information-only topics on this site?
Some pages on this site exist to answer questions, not to sell a service. Specialty modalities such as Indian head massage, reflexology, and cupping, along with osteotherapy, are topics Bruno writes about for education, but they are not services he offers and you cannot book them here. Lymphatic drainage and TMJ / jaw-tension massage are bookable Registered Massage Therapy services within Bruno’s scope, not information-only topics. Bruno is a Registered Massage Therapist; osteotherapy in particular is not a service he offers yet, it is an area where he is expanding his training, and he expects to offer it around 2028. Osteopathic manual practice is not currently a regulated profession in Ontario. If a session is what you are after, the bookable options are Registered Massage Therapy: therapeutic massage (with pressure from soft through medium to deep), lymphatic drainage massage, or TMJ / jaw-tension massage, at his in-home practice or by mobile visit.
