Thai Massage PDX — Local services in Portland

Today’s session with Matthew was literally life changing for me. This was not just a massage, it was highly skilled physical therapy. I have spent years loving with chronic pelvic pain and more recently painful shoulder and upper back and neck issues. Matthew worked with incredible expertise on my upper body. It was intense but not only did he release tension and pain in a way I have never experienced ( despite receiving hundreds of massages in Europe and Asia over the last ten years) but he also educated me on my body and helped me understand everything he was doing in great depth. I am gutted that I do not live in Portland as I truly believe that long term treatment with Matthew could change me forever. He very generously helped me to understand the different schools of treatment that I need and recommended practitioners I can visit nearer to me. He was also just a super interesting and good human being. He made me fee very comfortable and was very respectful. I literally couldn’t recommend him more highly. If there were ten star ratings he would get them! Thanks...

I have received a few thai massage sessions from Will, the owner, for chronic holding patterns in my muscles, and found them to be both effective and relaxing. When I found out that he is now offering a fusion of thai and hypnotherapy for chronic pain, I was intrigued and a little skeptical, but mostly intrigued, since I have a bum shoulder from a yoga injury that has plagued me for the last 10 years. No amount of bodywork helps it. I will feel great after a massage but the old restrictions, pain and weakness will come creeping back within days. I decided to give the hypno-thai a try, figuring that at the very least I would get a great thai session with some relaxing guided meditation.

Well, it's three weeks later, and my shoulder feels pretty much exactly the same as the good shoulder! It almost seems too easy, but I'm trying not to overthink it.

If you have a chronic body issue that hasn't responded to anything else, I highly recommend you...

Make your appointment with Will or Drew and you will soon be sending your friends and family! These guys are terrific! If you've tried them in the past and had a not great experience, please try them again as there are NEW OWNERS. I've tried 2 different LivingSocial deals with Palaquin Massage. Both times I signed up for their monthly deal to remind me to take time out for myself. It's either massage or the chiropractor and this is so much nicer! That said, there've been a few hiccups with scheduling but the owner called and made it right. They work on referrals so I would absolutely recommend them. I've been going off and on for the past 2 years and have yet to have a bad massage therapist. The online scheduling system is easy to use but don't expect a reminder call. Weekend appointments are available by request only. Definitely competitive price and they have validated...
