So many clientele tell me that they have friends, family, and coworkers whom they would like to refer to me but they have do not know how to describe my integrative approach to bodywork. They commonly ask me, Paul (the English spelling of my name), "what is a sentence or two that I can use to describe your bodywork?"
My goal is to have this web site be available for marketing but, more importantly, be available for everyone (potential and existing clients) to better understand my services and how I may be able to help in their healing process. I am sharing an office just off of the I-94/Edens Expressway at the Old Orchard Road exit in Skokie, Illinois.

Services
Bodywork isn't a job to me, it is a passion. I enjoy working with my hands, I love working with people, and I am fascinated by how amazingly complex our bodies are. I consider it a privilege and value the trust that clients give to me to help assist them with their therapeutic needs. I grew up on the other side of Illinois, in the Quad Cities.
Most of my clients find me through word-of-mouth because they are looking for something different from mainstream medicine/physical therapy that will help take care of the source of their aches. For everyone else who is just looking for options to help de-stress, I still have options that are great for general wellness.
Whatever your relaxation or therapeutic needs are, I have the training and experience to be able to work with you from an energetic, neuro-muscular, and myofascial (connective tissue) approach. John Barnes' Myofascial Release: Myofascial Release is a safe and very effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the Myofascial connective tissue restrictions to eliminate pain and restore motion.
For anyone looking for a "Deep Tissue" massage, please visit my Therapeutic Massage page. For specific problems, I pretty much will work to whatever depth is needed to get the job done but those 'therapeutic' techniques are performed dry, without oil, so that I can optimally grip and work with the connective tissue.
The CORE, or spiral, DISTORTION: This is the primary underlying cause of postural imbalances throughout the whole body. This distortion is inherent in every body and can even be observed in torsion of the hips and spine of a 16 week old fetus. It creates a resistance against any bodywork that attempts to relax, restore balance, or strengthen the body.

Pal is one of the best massage therapists I've seen. He has a deep knowledge of muscles, tendons and faschia - and knows how to correct imbalances that can cause chronic pain or poor posture. I have been to see him to address several issues and have always felt better after a session. At each session, he will do an assessment to see what issues there are, and then develop a plan to address the issues. He is extremely analytical as well as intuitive.

If you're looking for someone to make the pain go away you're in the right place. One session with Paul is like weeks of chiropractor visits as far as results.
Don't expect a regular relaxation massage, expect an extremely knowledgeable LMT that will work closely with you and help both physically and psychologically/emotionally.
Give him a shot, you won't regret it.

First of all, I have travelled 3 hours to see Paul on several occasions. If I lived close, I would see him weekly. He is that good. He listens to the body with caring attentiveness. His intuition accompanied with his skill produce this winning combination that spells RELIEF!!
I had what felt like a hiatal hernia. No one seemed to be able to help like Paul did. I am forever grateful and he has a fan for life!
