TESTIMONIALS
I heard about Paul's work through a co-worker and decided to try acupuncture to relieve severe night grinding, headaches, and poor sleep quality. Although I had been exposed to acupuncture while living in Asia, I was somewhat skeptical of its effectiveness. However, the treatments have resulted in a marked improvement in all the symptoms I wanted to address. Paul's approach is to establish a partnership with his clients, and work with them to achieve specific results. I highly recommend him, and value the results we've achieved together.

I've had the pleasure of receiving Paul's healing powers over the last few years. His acupuncture and massage treatment has helped with injuries that I've experienced from sports. Paul is not only an expert in his craft but he really takes the time to learn not only what the issue is but also how one’s lifestyle may impact their health. If you're looking for a professional that cares and will deliver every time then look no further.

I sought treatment from Paul in an effort to heal my chronic shoulder pain. At that point, I was new to acupuncture (I’d seen various massage therapists and a chiropractor, off and on, for years), and any apprehension faded the moment we sat down and he explained his process. We talked in depth about the source of the pain and he went to work. In addition to healing my shoulder and back, Paul has all but eliminated the stubborn tendinitis in my left elbow. The best part is his work feels incredible. I leave renewed and reenergized, much like the feeling of spending the day at a Korean spa. I never want the session to end and that says more than I ever could.

Pediatric Testimonial
I brought my seven year old son to work with Paul about 4 months ago in order to help my son feel more “in control” of himself. My son was having trouble staying focused and on task and often told me that he felt like “his brain was going crazy.” This could include outbursts and frustration with any changes in schedule or transitioning during the day – and often led to him feeling worse about himself after the moment passed. I read a lot about how helpful cranio-sacral therapy could be with children, particularly with hyperactivity or autism issues and started searching for practitioners in the area who had experience with children. After 2 months there was a noticeable change in my son’s ability to control his emotions, communicate with us what was needed and “recover” from challenging moments. Paul takes a very holistic approach and is completely dedicated to his clients. He helped us work on diet and focused on meditation and movement as well as cranio-sacral therapy. His work has gone outside of the four corners of the therapy room and includes thoughtful follow ups, recommendations, and next steps – all of which I know take a lot of work outside of the treatment session. The combination has been transformative. As a parent, it is hard to put your child in someone else’s care and I couldn’t be more grateful for Paul’s insight, compassion, professionalism and honesty in how treatment is going and what would be supportive and beneficial. He’s been a pillar support in helping my son better negotiate his own abilities and develop strength and confidence in what he can do. It has been an amazing journey so far and Paul has been an incredible practitioner, guide and friend through it all.

Pain Testimonials
I pulled a muscle in my lower back last year and my massage therapist wasn't able to help and strongly recommended I see an acupuncturist. He gave me Paul's number and I immediately called to make an appointment and have been going once-a-month since! Not only was Paul's treatment effective - the pain subsided shortly thereafter - but he taught me lots of important things to do to maintain a healthy back :) Paul takes a genuine concern in my overall well-being and makes sure to tailor each of my monthly sessions to address whatever is ailing me at that specific time and moment - he has an incredibly soothing and calming demeanor that even just talking to him about your pains and physical or emotional struggles is therapeutic. He's a healer in every sense of the word and I look forward to each session!

I heard about Paul from my Pilates instructor, I had been having trouble with my neck for weeks and after a class I asked her whether she knew anybody that could help me with the tightness in my neck. She whole heartedly recommended Paul.
Paul was kind enough to squeeze me in for a session after he had a cancellation and his treatment was magical. He released 90% of the tightness on that first session.
He is thorough, professional and he takes the time to make sure he understands and assesses what goes on with your body including your imbalances. My first session with Paul was transformational and the tightness in my neck was gone. On a second session he was even able to help me get rid of a cold with acupuncture.
I recommend Paul without reservations. He is a wonderful professional who takes the time and makes the effort to make sure he understands and solves any problems you may have had when seeking his treatment. He is gentle and kind and it is a pleasure to be one of his patients.

I found Paul on while searching for a craniosacral therapist online after being in a car vs bike accident , requiring surgery to repair a broken ulna and radius, and recovery from a head injury, nasal fracture, impact wounds, road rash and multiple lacerations. Paul addressed the physical wounds, and deftly incorporated treatment of the psychological and emotional components of my injuries. Paul integrated his vast knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine, anatomy, and his intuitive strengths to address my situation in a truly holistic fashion. Paul's kindness and dedication to helping me heal have been instrumental to my progress thus far, I feel drastic improvement after every session. Paul is fair and does not encourage more sessions than needed, his priority is helping the patient. As a patient, there is an opportunity to work WITH Paul, he supports my participation in my healing, such that our process facilitates post-traumatic growth. It is a pleasure, relief, and great fortune to have Paul with me in this journey of healing.

Paul Robison’s guidance and treatments have enabled me to redirect my physical health and emotional outlook 180°. I first visited Paul 15 months ago at the suggestion of a co-worker. I had been diagnosed with an autoimmune disease the previous year, and despite a regimen of powerful biologic pharmaceuticals (with a lot of side effects and expense), had worsening pain and an ever darkening view of the world.
Within the first few sessions with Paul I had a transformative release of negative energy. Over the subsequent visits, we have been able to work together toward a more balanced, sound body/mind. Today I am off of all prescription medications for RA, have minimal inflammation, and feel more optimistic about the future than I have been in years.

General Practice Testimonials
I heard about Paul when I first began going to Unwind Wellness in DC for massages.
My initial reason for seeking treatment was emotional and physical. I was struggling with losing my partner of close to 20 years and I was grieving. I was suffering from depression and severe muscle tension. Paul's work with me allowed me to release these negative emotions in a safe and supportive environment.
I so value Paul's empathy, compassion and professionalism. His sixth sense of knowing what areas of the body to focus on to remove energy blocks is amazing. I owe much to my current contentment and happiness with myself to his talent and kindheartedness.

I was referred to Paul by a colleague who suffered from debilitating migraines that has since been (essentially) headache free since seeing Paul.
My experiences with Paul have been perfect from the start. He is passionate about his craft and seeks to understand your condition and lifestyle to find the right treatment. I suffer from IT bad syndrome, TMJ and scar tissue buildup in my shoulder that causes pain. At every visit with Paul, my conditions have improved substantially and have had lasting effects. Paul is an incredibly talented professional that through acupuncture has helped to eliminate pain in my three key areas. I cannot recommend him more highly!

My testimonial is not just for me but for our family. We were introduced by a mutual friend and Paul worked on my wife first and I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. He's also worked on my daughter a division one athlete to keep her fit and my son after he suffer a head injury. Paul has a radically centered way of approaching the mind and body, blending the Praxis of Chinese medicine theory with very practical next steps. This includes things as simple as evaluating seating as well as a targeted and effective set of daily exercises.
I've been "working on my "rugby back"for fifteen years. My inherent skepticism of things seemingly new was overcome by the results of this age old approach to health that I saw with my family. In the end Paul's practiced and focused approach has resulted in extraordinary reduction in pain allowing me to keep active and professionally make long haul flights without 8-12 hours of nagging muscle spasms. Finally, have to warm people that Paul is an interesting and provocative thinker who I've enjoyed talking with.
