Spiritual Thai  Paul Davis

Not a 'masseuse' but a professional physical therapist. I offer traditional, mat-based and table-based therapy - as well as specific aspects of Thai medicine! I operate from two harmoniously peaceful bases, in Brockley SE4 and Crystal Palace SE19 - plus I also offer home visits (a floor area the size of a double bed is generally required for me to give best treatments) for just £5 extra (post code depending). So, you don't need to go anywhere, you can receive dedicated therapy in your own home! Focussing on remedial bodywork to soften your tight, knotted tissue (backs, necks and legs need fixing!) and well as slow relaxing, de-stressing treatment, both in a hygienic environment.
I study and practice various aspects of traditional Thai medicine - covering skin ‘scraping' (sounds far worse than it is, believe me) which releases the antibodies which cause common colds and bugs; I use self-made oils, balms and liniments which are completely chemical-free - as well as hot THAI HERBAL COMPRESESS!

*For those of you suffering with anxiety or sleep issues, I also offer NEUROMUSCULAR POINT-RELEASE therapy. I have a new website in the making. You'll see video shorts of me working on people.

Background & Qualifications

From a devotion to the Yoga's, resistance training and martial arts, I know exactly how a sore, needy body can feel. Having developed a keen interest in self-treating for muscle relaxation, then turning my attention on assisting others, I was looking towards a career change in sports Physiotherapy or Osteopathy. However, through attending a course in deep tissue massage and another in Usi Reiki hands healing, fate introduced me to the art of Thai "yoga" Massage and I was hooked form the start! It just made sense. However, the magic stems from the fact that my chosen teaching lineage includes a modern-day Reusi in rural Thailand from whom much incredible, almost lost knowledge has been handed down. I am graced with daily study of this knowledge and as such I maintain specific Thai values and traditions within my practice.

I hold a Practitioners Foundation Diploma in Thai 'Yoga' Massage via LITYM and a Level 3 Diploma in Anatomy & Physiology.

My Specialisms

I work with many, many Yoga teachers and practitioners, cyclists and dancers, martial arts people and sports players and musicians. Therefore, I work on sore legs, Hip Flexors, I-T bands, tight Calve's, Hamstrings and Gluteals, Quad's (thigh), the whole of the back area and neck work. Additionally, I practice Indian-style head massage - often as a stand-alone treatment if required. I also work with manual workers, office workers, stressed parents .... you name it!

Approach to Therapy & How I Work

I listen to my clients and discuss at lengths what their needs are. Focussing on remedial bodywork to soften your tight, knotted tissue, as well as slow relaxing, de-stressing treatments, both in a hygienic environment.
Within the framework of remedial therapy, after an initial consultation (no separate fee!), I study postural alignment and breathing patterns. Your painful shoulder issue may emanate from a lower limb or back problem! My core aim is to help you and I take great pleasure in doing just that!

Thai bodywork - regularly referred to as "very deep work", which it can be if that's what's needed and if my client prefers that, or it can also be approached in a slow, calm, gradual manner - comprises of tissue compressions (deep or not) and many other techniques to manipulate the soreness; In addition, many stretches and mobility techniques are used.

My style is the traditional, floor-based work using a specially constructed Thai massage mat - while both patient and practitioner are fully clothed. I do offer trad' Thai fisherman's pants should they be required.
