Paul is the best!! I'd been having back pain that was preventing me from doing some weightlifting and Paul listened carefully, gave me a thorough check-up, and prescribed lots of personalized "movement snacks" to keep my back moving, along with targeted resistance movements. He also walked me through how to safely get back to the lifts I had been avoiding. He went over everything with me and did a great job helping me understand the movements and the purpose behind them. I'm very happy to have the confidence that I'm on a path toward a healthier spine!

I came to Paul after a few months of pain in my left shoulder that kept me awake at night and gave me pain and limited mobility during the day. He knew immediately what was wrong and was very positive about being able to resolve it. I felt better immediately after just the first session! I hadn't felt that good in months. I was even pain free enough and had enough energy to garden for a bit. And each subsequent day since then, as I've done the exercises Paul gave me, my problems at night are gone and the days are significantly better. I appreciate Paul's great encouragement and I'm looking forward

I came to Paul with nagging lower back pain and discomfort lifting anything due to a weight room injury a year prior. Before seeing Paul I was nervous to bend down and lift anything off the ground. After 1 month of physical therapy with Paul, I no longer have the nagging pain in my lower back and I am now back to lifting heavy items in the gym and no longer nervous about my lower back. I also now have the education and improved weightlifting techniques that allow me to continue my improvements on my own. I highly recommend Paul for people of all different athletic backgrounds, he has a very diverse

I've been a patient of Paul's for six months as of February 2020, and it has been a fantastic experience.
I was a week removed from wrist surgery (plate, screws, all the good stuff) and couldn't move my wrist at all during my first appointment. Since day one I've been on a faster and more complete track to recovery than most are with my injury, and I owe a lot of it to Paul. He has all of the knowledge and expertise you'd expect, but he's been especially great at taking me out of my comfort zone and giving me the sense of empowerment I need to take control of my own recovery, as well as all of

Paul was very informative and wonderful to work with. His ability to explain my ailment (rotator cuff issue) then implement the appropriate therapies to get my shoulder working again was impressive. I highly recommend and I will definitely use Paul if I’m in need of his services once more.

I came to Paul with persistent shoulder pain, which turned out to be a rotator cuff injury caused by poor lifting technique at the gym. With Paul’s help, I learned a handful of home exercises to heal the injury. On top of that, Paul showed me how to improve my form to prevent similar injuries in the future. Paul is not only gifted with his knowledge and application of body mechanics, but is a truly caring person. Though I have since healed from my injury, I continue to reach out for direction when needed, and always look forward to running into him in St. Johns. He and his services get my highest
