Thai Spirit Health & Fitness

An endurance runner/​cyclist, I walked into Paul’s healing space with strong hip pain. I hadn’t had an MRI yet, but I’d been to see sports doctors who hadn’t made that observation and were adopting a «wait and see» approach. After a few minutes, he said «did you know you have a hip impingement»? A few weeks later, after my insurance had spent thousands on MRIs and Xrays, it confirmed exactly what Paul had seen through his careful attention.
That’s just a small anecdote, but I think it encapsulates well what a talented healer Paul is. He takes the time to really focus on the patient, not only the physical, but also emotional dimensions. Before the approximately 90 minute to 2 hour session, he talks to you about particular issues and how to deal with them psychologically. He practices a combination of Thai bodywork and acupuncture, which I felt were extremely helpful in getting me through my injury without surgery (which was recommended by my sports doctor). I now have no pain in the hip, which was considered almost impossible by the «western» doctor.
Paul is extremely empathetic and gifted. I would recommend him to anyone, athlete and non-​athlete alike.

When choosing an acupuncturist, its extremely important to choose someone who is highly educated and knows what they are doing. I had a couple of friends who practice Brazilian Jiu-​Jitsu that referred me to Paul two years ago. I have been coming to see him ever since he was downtown and now he has his own practice in Gramercy.
Paul is extremely friendly, soft spoken, and knows how to treat you mentally and physically with his acupuncture techniques. I’ve had pain in my lower back, my shoulders, and cramps before. Everything was alleviated with acupuncture!
His office is really clean and organized. Every time I walk in I feel like I’m entering a Buddhist temple. When you step out of the elevator and onto the 4^th floor, you are greeted by a Buddha statue and long black leather sofas. Then Paul smiles and directs you to the treatment room.
I should not need to explain any further… Just go check it out for yourself, and you will feel great!!!
