Warning : For my fellow ladies, Paolo isn't a masseuse to be trusted!
I had come in for a 90min session about a couple of months ago. And it was a session I can't forget.
Long story short, what a lot of the reviews say about this man, Paolo was true in my experience!
At first I thought I was just overthinking things and thinking crazy. But when I read these reviews, I realized I wasn't the only one. I remember the whole massage session clearly. When we got in the room I had asked if being naked was necessary and he said it was. I should have said something but I was afraid to

I had one massage from him and it was one too many. I feel that he was testing my limits as we went on with 90 mins massage where he was gradually decreasing the amount of draping. At one point, he would let you expose as much as possible ( and really no reason for it) , coz he can only massage one portion at a time.

Bare in mind, I am a licensee physical therapist and I KNOW draping is a professionally code and not a code to challenge.

If you a female and don't care to show your assets fully, enjoy your massage from him, and enjoy exhibitionism of your beautiful body.

For the rest

Seriously. Stop your search for true, healing massage therapy. I have tried dozens of massage therapists over the past few years to help with mobility-limiting tightness in my neck and shoulders. I would always say to those therapists that I wanted a DEEP tissue massage because a light touch made me feel more stressed. I suffer from chronic anxiety, which leads to stubborn tightness and knots. I never have to tell Paolo or Kate to go deeper because they are after healing the muscle versus lightly massaging the skin. If you are used to a Swedish massage and prefer that experience, this therapy

I've been going here for 2 years. I've searched and trialed over 10 different masseurs before I found them. Both Paolo and Kate are amazing. I work out often and they know exactly how to treat all my knots and tight muscles. I require a lot of pressure and they know how to apply it. The treatments are not only therapeutic, but highly restorative. They have a very soothing and clean environment. I highly recommend them without reservations.

The massage was good, but not worth the cost of being inappropriately groped by Paolo. I think thats how he justifies it as well, by gradually gaslighting you into thinking it's part of the massage. Beware of being sexually assaulted under the guise of a "thorough massage" this happened to me a few years ago and i had locked it away as a traumatic memory until I randomly came across a recent review of someone who had a similar experience here. I'm sharing my experience in solidarity as this should never happen again.

Amazing results from Pannawich! I've had some ongoing issues for the better part of 2 years now and within 3 sessions I've seen drastic results. High quality work, knowledgeable, affordable, it checks all the boxes.

Excellent!! I have had many massages in my life. The therapists at Pannawich are at the top. They are very knowledgeable about the body and can help with specific body problems or just a massage to keep the body healthy. I feel lucky to have found them.

I cannot recommend this place enough. In particular Kate G. She is a healer and incredibly knowledgeable about the body, muscle groups and the proper interaction of muscle, tendons and nerves. She knows how a healthy muscle tissue should feel like and can quickly identify what's wrong and apply the right pressure to effectively treat. I have been struggling so much with muscle dysfunction. When I walk even for 5min, my muscles get so painfully tight, with nodules. I went to Stanford sports medicine and for the past 9 months we haven't been able to figure it out. After 1 session with

I've been going to Kate for 6 months now and she's honestly the best masseuse I've experienced! In my past, I've gone to see a lot but I just felt like they didn't fully address my issues. Kate goes in depth with where she find problems and I have been super impressed with every massage. Highly recommend!

Best massage that I have ever had! This Thai massage is very different from other ones. Kate is amazing! She is very knowledgeable about the body. She can definitely tell what is the reason that causes my back pain. Really good experience and I highly recommend the service.

I got a couple of Advanced Thai Massage - Deep Tissue massages here and both were fantastic. It's a very clean, private, and relaxing space. I've gone in with specific pain and Paolo was very knowledgeable about the muscles and what was causing the pain. This type of massage hurts (which I love because you know it's fixing the problem) but I felt fantastic and like brand new in just 4 days after the soreness wore off! I highly recommend this place and this type of massage if you want to get therapy and feel better for weeks after. It's a place I'd go back again and again

I have been to many Thai massage places for therapy. I will not undermine their quality. Redirecting my focus now to Pannawich, I have no plans on deterring. I have had the pleasure of receiving therapy under Paolo's well trained techniques. I have had two advanced Thai massage sessions at 1 1/2 hour each. This type of therapy incorporates some of the traditional Thai moves but focuses on myofascial release. He has received this advanced training via a Master in Thailand. I will not lie, this therapy I chose is not for the faint of heart. This therapy can be uncomfortable if you really

Paolo gives the best massage in San Mateo (or anywhere) hands down. I have been getting massages around San Mateo for 20 years +. He is professional and highly trained. He gets all the knots out and knows where attention to detail is needed.
Lately I have not had time to see him but I need to. I look forward to going back here.
Thank you Paolo; you really are the best around.

Paolo has a deep understanding of how to heal the human body's muscles and ligaments. He intuitively identifies pain points and relieves them. It's going to hurt but working through and past the pain is better than avoiding it.
Don't forget to drink a lot of water afterwards.

My favorite gem, this is my favorite massage place. And that says alot. I don't need to go to the cheap $50 massage places anymore because quality is better than quantity when it comes to a massage. Thanks Kate you the best in the west!

Paolo is an advanced massage wizard, and you don’t need to go anywhere else if you want a deep, therapeutic, and one of a kind massage.
I have been to 4 Thai massage places in SF, 1 in LA, 2 in San Diego, 1 on the peninsula (other than Pannawich), 7 different places in Thailand and I have neverrrr had a massage like the 90 minute thai/therapeutic one from Paolo. It hurt (he said it would!), because he gets deep in the nerves where other massage therapists are afraid to go, and he really knows the body.
This would be an especially great massage for someone with specific issues or sports folks

Best massage in a long while!

So happy we were able to book an appointment. They're open and taking limited clients per day to ensure safety. Other precautions include temperature checks upon arrival and face mask during the session.

I had a 90 minute Advanced Thai Massage w/ Sang and it was great. He really focuses on fixing the underlying issues surrounding your problem areas while imparting knowledge and recommendations to help w/ recovery and prevention. The tightness in my calf/leg that's been radiating pain to my foot has been significantly reduced after 1 session.

First of all I just want to say how incredibly grateful I am that this place was open. I made the appointment as I was ending work and they took me. I had Kate and she changed my life. My body is so tight and I have so many knots everywhere and she knew exactly what to do. She was amazing. I didn't even have to explain anything. Her knowledge and understanding of the human body was incredible. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to have someone put in so much care and skill into helping me out. Kate is absolutely incredible and I can't wait to back. My pain isn't completely

The massage was ok, I did Thai advance massage with oil, not like I expected for $90, I better get Traditional Thai massage with $70. The therapist a lot use elbow or feel like using a tool all the time to massage my back, doesnt really feel good. The good Thai oil massage with thumb & fingers too sometimes (pressure points & massage), but she doesnt really know how to massage the spots that I feel sores, she just keep moving on with the elbow/tool, no pressure point, now I feel my back more sores from the massage tool or elbow.

The therapist is nice, but I think she likes to talk. I

I really can't say enough good things about Paolo. I'm a professional athlete that has gone through the gamut with bodyworkers, physical therapists, massage therapists, healers - you name it - I feel like I hit a gold mine when I found Paolo. He is extremely passionate about his work and making sure that his patients heal and feel better. I've come to him with multiple issues now and his massage therapy has solved them all. If you're looking for someone that massages you because they want you to get better and not just because it's their job and they are counting down the minutes until the hour

My yoga teacher recommended Paolo and after what she told me - Paolo is a true healer. Therefore I wanted to give it a try.
So far I’ve been there three times for 2 hours Advanced Thai Massage with Paolo. He is very professional, has amazing knowledge of the whole body and is really polite.
I have problem with my shoulders/neck. But suddenly I also got a “tennis elbow” and had pain for quite some time. Therefore I booked a session with Paolo and the Advanced Thai Massage on my arms was extremely painful but it was so much worth it afterwards because after just one treatment my “tennis

I've visited countless massage places in SoCal and NorCal, Pannawich is by far the most professional therapeutic massage I've ever been. This is my top place if you asked me if I ever get a message that I'm perfectly pleased with its service, cleanness, price, and professionalism.
I had Patty twice, she's strong and she knows exactly how to work with pressure points. Honestly, I felt pain during the Massage, but this is truly a therapeutic massage that helps to remove tensions on your body and I felt much lighter afterward.

I've been here twice for the intense therapeutic massage and I love it. I've had some really tight muscles that chiropractic care and PT didn't help to resolve, so here I am.
Really high quality massage, BUT don't come here if you like light Swedish massages. Paolo uses a lot of pressure to relieve problem areas so if you're super tight or have had long term pain areas, this is the place to turn to. If you want a relaxing massage, he's probably not the best person.
Love how the massage ends with tea and chocolate. Highly recommend. I also never feel pressure to tip a certain amount and if Paolo
