He is so awesome. He is thoughtful, caring, and he's thorough with assessing the problems. He tries to analyze what's going on and tries to find the best way to solve it. He has many suggestions, exercises and tips to relieve the pain and ailments. He is flexible with time and what is bothering me since I have multiple issues going on with my joints and body.

I was having a lot of pain when I met Paul. Paul was very gentle with the initial assessment. He answered my questions and gave me the compassion and reassurance that I desperately needed given I had been in pain for nearly 4 weeks. I am so grateful as I was able to go home with less pain after this first visit and know that I’m going to be ok. He provided me with a stretching exercise that I can do at home as well.
