Update July 2022:

First and foremost: all bodies and all genders are welcome on my table. Across the country, we are receiving a lot of strong opinions from government entities on what to do with our bodies. The last place you should feel any pressure or judgement on your body should be in the massage room, and it is always my aim to make the space feel as safe as possible for you. Whether that is masking or not, changing the temperature in the room, switching up the music, raising or lowering the head rest, the session is always customized for your comfort. Which leads to point number two: you are in control of the session. I enjoy doing what I do, but this is your time on the table and I want to make sure you feel like you’re getting the most bang for your buck. If you want to end early, or want more time on a certain part of the body, please let me know so I can accommodate accordingly.

Chicago relinquished its mask mandate, so masking during sessions is now optional. Please do whatever feels most comfortable for you. Masking is still required in medical offices, which includes Suvarna Chiropractic.

I continue to work at Movement Republic every Wednesday! The owner, Sarah, is gracious enough to let me be independent and use the space to see clients privately. You can schedule an appointment right here on the website! Alternatively, you can e-mail me: massagebypca@gmail.com. For appointments at Suvarna Chiropractic or Revive Spa, please contact them separately.

Be well,

~Paul

Services

Massage

Customized to your needs, the service may include Swedish, Deep Tissue, Trigger Point, or Sports massage traits. I am also a Reiki Master and will incorporate this energy work upon request.

• 30m: intended for specific work and not recommended for full-body sessions.

• 60m: perfect for a full-body massage with some detail work for ailing areas, or deep tissue work for upper or lower body issues.

• 90m: full-body massage and all the specific work you need, this is self-care at its peak.

Cupping

With origins in Chinese medicine, cupping has been in use for thousands of years to increase blood flow throughout the body and work to release high-tension areas. While massage presses down on the body, cupping pulls the skin up into the cup, effectively making it the inverse of massage. This myofascial decompression does leave marks on the body that may last for the duration of the session up to several days after. While traditional cupping includes lighting a fire to warm the cup before placing on the body, modern advancements now include silicone and plastic cups that do not need live fire, and are safer for both the client and practitioner.

All services are for health purposes only.

Benefits of Massage 

Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress-related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. Massage is an effective tool for managing this stress, which translates into:

• Decreased anxiety.

• Enhanced sleep quality.

• Greater energy.

• Improved concentration.

• Increased circulation.

• Reduced fatigue.

Massage can also help specifically address a number of health issues. Bodywork can:

• Alleviate low-back pain and improve range of motion.

• Assist with shorter, easier labor for expectant mothers and shorten maternity hospital stays.

• Ease medication dependence.

• Enhance immunity by stimulating lymph flow—the body's natural defense system.

• Exercise and stretch weak, tight, or atrophied muscles.

• Help athletes of any level prepare for, and recover from, strenuous workouts.

• Improve the condition of the body's largest organ—the skin.

• Increase joint flexibility.

• Lessen depression and anxiety.

• Promote tissue regeneration, reducing scar tissue and stretch marks.

• Pump oxygen and nutrients into tissues and vital organs, improving circulation.

• Reduce postsurgery adhesions and swelling.

• Reduce spasms and cramping.

• Relax and soften injured, tired, and overused muscles.

• Release endorphins—amino acids that work as the body's natural painkiller.

• Relieve migraine pain.
