With a focus on tailored bodywork sessions, the practice offers services designed to meet each client’s unique needs. Whether addressing chronic pain, enhancing flexibility or reducing stress, the treatments deliver a transformative experience that supports overall well-being.

Paul Bohlman, founder and Certified Massage Therapist, brings over two decades of expertise to his practice. A graduate of Irene’s Myomassology Institute, in Southfield, Michigan, he has trained in multiple advanced modalities, including St. John Neuromuscular Therapy, trigger point therapy and craniosacral therapy. His background as a martial artist for more than 40 years complements his approach, blending physical knowledge with a philosophy of healing and self-care.

Bohlman began his career in massage therapy to help others find relief from discomfort and enhance their quality of life. Early on, he collaborated with chiropractors, providing massage therapy that complemented chiropractic adjustments. This partnership helped patients achieve more effective and lasting results as their muscles supported improved alignment.

Clients can select from either 30-, 60- or 90-minute sessions tailored to their goals, as well as discounted packages such as the “10-Pack” option, which offers 10 one-hour massages for the price of nine. Bohlman’s hands-on techniques are carefully crafted to help clients experience relief from chronic pain, reduced inflammation, improved posture and enhanced mobility. These benefits are particularly appealing to individuals managing conditions like arthritis, migraines, sciatica or stress-induced tension.

Therapeutic Massage by Paul Bohlman specializes in an array of techniques that address specific needs. Neuromuscular Therapy targets soft tissue dysfunction, including trigger points and muscle adhesions, helping clients find relief from conditions like repetitive strain injuries and postural imbalances. Trigger point therapy focuses on releasing tension in isolated areas, alleviating discomfort and improving range of motion. Craniosacral therapy uses gentle, precise techniques to improve craniosacral system function, reducing stress and addressing conditions such as migraines and neck pain.

Bohlman’s commitment to client care extends beyond technical expertise. Each session is guided by an understanding of the mind-body connection, ensuring that treatments address both physical and emotional stressors. This holistic approach fosters relaxation, encourages healing and helps clients achieve sustainable improvements in their health and well-being.
