The SportBodyWork Method
Evolved from years of training in traditional and manual therapies, our therapy recognizes that each person is more than the total components of anatomy, physics, and chemistry. Treating the whole person using a systemized approach of assessment, treatment and corrective exercises to reduce inflammation and pain and rehab muscles, gaining increased range of motion, strength, endurance, and improved function. Combining multiple therapies such as Orthopedic and Deep Tissue allows us to locate and alleviate health challenges in the pertaining muscle groups and connective tissue systems. Our orthopedic therapy treatment may include but is not limited to: Deep tissue, Strain CounterStrain, Soft Tissue Release, Taping, Blading, Scraping, and Cupping.
With proper education from us on targeted corrective exercises and correct form and posture your improvement is greatly enhanced.
Massage therapy does not include the diagnosis of a specific pathology, the prescription of drugs, spinal manipulation, or the functions of a PT that are outside the scope of Massage.
There are more than 350 modalities and methods of bodywork according to ABMP.com. These are the modalities that we are experts in and their definitions from ABMP and our additional notes about how we integrate each one.

We often hear Paul ask this question: "Is there a position you can get into that lessens the pain?" If this sounds like you, book an appointment with Paul today and get on the road to recovery.

Certified FRC Mobility Specialist, Dr Andreo A Spina, Founder
Paul has been fixing the issues in the tissues of Maui residents and visitors since 1996. He was one of the youngest graduates of Maui Academy of the Healing Arts, and he always knew that bodywork had transformative properties.
The youngest of four siblings, Paul was diagnosed/labeled with ADD at a very young age. His mom, a Registered Nurse who was never a naturalist at heart, wanted to try a remedy for his overactive need for attention that did not require drugs. To her surprise, the natural remedy worked!
Ever since then, Paul has had an extreme interest in the connection between massage and every muscle-related malady. Focusing on mobility, posture correction, and injury rehab, Paul has undergone extensive education for treating all muscle related injuries.

"Absolute 10 star experience! Not only have I had my needs listened to and addressed thoroughly, but even the therapist's touch is brilliant and intuitive. I am a therapist of 22 years but I have referred clients here for trickier cases needing a lot of technical knowledge. Most technically advanced MT I've been to!"

"A few years ago after hiking Haleakala crater (13 miles), I commented that I thought it was strange that the only parts of my body that hurt were my hips. Paul immediately replied that this was likely due to weak glutes. I never would have put this together on my own, but after a few sessions with Paul and some serious effort at the gym, I have seen a huge improvement."

I'm not the type of person who regularly gets a massage, more like almost never, so it took my shoulder practically not being able to move and thinking I might need surgery to motivate me to make an appointment with Paul, who was highly recommended by friends. After one session I gained mobility, had a better understanding of what was going on with my shoulder and hopeful that it would get better without surgery. It helped so much that I made regular appointments and tried different methods such as cupping, scraping, and taping.
