Description

Specialties

Helping your body achieve it’s natural balance through stress reduction and relaxation.

Other specialties include deep tissue sports massage and working with you to overcome injuries.

History

Established in 1986.

After graduating from Massage School, I worked in a Chiropractic Office

for 17 years while developing my private practice.

I have participated in numerous workshops. All of these experiences have

helped me develop a unique style of bodywork that includes nurturing,

deep tissue massage and assisting my clients with recovery from injuries.

I work out of a studio that I designed and built in my Noe Valley garden.

Meet the Business Owner

Paul B.

Business Owner

I came to study Massage through an injury. I wanted to know more about how the body works and how to fix it.

I studied Aikido for many years. I have practiced Flow Yoga for 15 years.

I have been a windsurfer for 18 years and ride my mountain bike as often as possible.

I have been going to Paul for 15 years and he is one of the most skilled knowledgable massage therapists I have ever used. I have chronic neck and back pain and he always relieves it and makes me feel great. He knows so much about anatomy and physiology, he is able not only to fix your problem but help you prevent it from recurring.
His massages are completely individual and tailored to you and your body and the style of body work you prefer. He is also smart, kind and generous with his time; who doesn’t love that?

I have been going to Paul regularly for 7 years now, and I can say he is an incredibly talented massage therapist. Being an athlete (and getting older!), I commonly have something that is pulled, sore, strained, etc. and he is the perfect mix of deep tissue, sports and more gentler types so he is incredibly effective without being painful (very rare). He is also extremely strong — having to do with being an avid windsurfer and yogi.
He works from a studio in his back yard which is very comfortable, warm, smells good, etc.
He also has great recommendations from his connections for other types of body work, I found my amazing chiropractor through him as well. I highly recommend him and his rates are quite reasonable.

Paul is hands down the best massage therapist I’ve ever been to. He tailors your massage to your own body’s needs, so its a unique experience every time. Paul is strong yet gentle, and very intuitive — he truly has healing hands. And the atmosphere in the massage room is superb — peaceful and serene, spacious, even has a bathroom. The massage room is in a separate building in his backyard, surrounded by his beautiful gardens. Its lovely to walk through the garden, de-​stressing along the way, into the tranquility of the massage room. Paul also has an extensive music collection, to satisfy everyone’s taste — from meditative ragas and Indian flute music, to jazz (and he’s quite the jazz aficionado!). I’ve been going to Paul for several years, and he’s spoiled me — i rarely go to anyone else for a massage, even if I’m out of town at a facility with a spa. I highly recommend Paul to anyone seeking a fantastic massage!

I’ve been going to Paul for about 10 years for body work, and my wife for longer than that. His massages are the utmost in personalization. He makes an extra effort to understand what is ailing you and to tailor the work based on that. His knowledge of the body and how it works and heals always amazes me. While he clearly takes his profession very seriously, it’s easy to forget that with his warm demeanor and the relaxing setting of his backyard cottage. I feel more relaxed the second I arrive and walk out of there with a real spring in my step.

I got my first massage from Paul Broder back in the mid-​90s. Since that first blissful massage some fifteen years ago, I have made it a point to see him at least once a month (except for when I was living out of state, of course). Paul’s massages are incredibly relaxing and I can always rely on him to work out whatever kinks or soreness my body is experiencing. Paul is extremely kind, intuitive, and professional. And his studio is gorgeous, set in a small cottage behind his home, amid beautiful gardens. I can’t recommend Paul more highly – he is simply the best massage therapist that I have ever been to!

Paul does massage your way. If you tell him what’s wrong he adjusts the experience to focus on that area while stills keeping everything else working.
I sit at a computer all day long and Paul has been able to help me maintain a decent posture and deal with the stress of my job. He has been mine and my partners massage guy on a monthly basis, for what must be more than 10 years.
He doesn’t make me listen to the stupid new-​age music that a lot of body workers think is so important, he plays stuff I like to listen to. The rates are very reasonable and he is very flexible about scheduling.

Paul is not your average masseuse. I first saw him with severe back pain post-​having-​first baby and he saw me immediately — on Christmas Eve! Now, 7 years on, he’s still the best body worker I’ve ever met. He is sensitive to your body’s ailments, gives the right amount of deep tissue work, is incredibly knowledgeable about so many aspects of the body, and is a very nurturing person. I now look forward to not only having a wonderful massage, but visiting with someone who’s become a good friend. You will NOT be disappointed! Oh, and throw in affordable prices, gorgeous garden retreat cottage setting and great jazz music — how could anyone go wrong?

I was highly recommended to Paul by a close friend during a time of deep emotional stress. I made the appointment mostly because she told me too and went along in my numb state to his home studio. Paul’s warm welcome immediately began to melt away the stress. It was the first time I realized the powerful emotional healing that massage is capable of. After I left Paul’s safe and nurturing garden studio I realized that I had never had a massage by a male therapist. Paul made me feel so at ease it had not even occurred to me until much later. I now see Paul every other month and look forward to my appointments and the wonderful benefits they bring my mind, body and soul.

Paul is one of the best in the world of massage artists-​he is sensitive to what issues you are dealing with in your body & has an extensive knowledge of how the body works. Having scoliosis causes me great discomfort and a massage from Paul can really bring me great relief!
Paul has a great environment for massage with a separate cottage behind his residence-it’s a setting that is both peaceful and relaxing for a wonderful massage, and his prices are very reasonable.
