"I
saw Paula for my painful sciatica recently. After one session with her
I was able to walk normally and the pain and numbness were completely
gone." - Jennifer H, NYC
"The bodywork that you performed on me when I was visiting New York
worked wonderfully. I had been in constant lower back pain and the left
side of my neck was out of kilter. After your treatment, I was vitally
refreshed and the pain was gone. It has NOT returned."

MEDICAL & SPORTS MASSAGE
aka "CONNECTIVE TISSUE THERAPY"
Massage, Science, and Ultimate Health
Muscles without healthy
connective tissue are not healthy. Organs without healthy connective
tissue are not healthy. Advanced therapists focus on the fascia, more
accurately referred to as connective tissue.
Science is now studying this amazing tissue and Dr. Thomas W. Findley, MD, PhD has written an
excellent overview within his editorial on: The Second International Research Congress.
Take note of both links if you have ever doubted the
healing effects of massage. For a simple, yet clear understanding on
the relationship between health and connective tissue, read Paula's
article on Therapeutic
Massage & The Living Matrix.

Session Recommendations
Truth? It is completely up to
you. I am happy to advise on what may be best for your particular
circumstances and body, but only you can determine the priority of your
health.
For myself, I prefer two-hour sessions that combine BioSyntonie and body work for
the ultimate in healing and the prevention of illness, because it's
about getting you better, not getting you back!
In addition to the benefits offered by massage alone,
my clients experience fewer and/or lighter colds, improved energy and
ability to handle stress, and a remarkable ability to see and
understand and act upon the truly important things in life.
Why a longer session?
-
A problem in one area always impacts the whole body
-
Focusing only on the problem area can actually
cause other problems
-
Full-body work is recommended, plus time for
problem areas
-
Combination sessions require extra time
