Posture & Pain Relief
Release. Strengthen. Lengthen.
Posture and Pain Relief (PPR) sessions go beyond traditional massage. PPR is done on the floor, fully clothed (no awkward undressing!) while Eric uses his feet to sink into muscles in the lower body so everything above it can move freely. He combines manual bodywork with assisted stretching to balance your whole structure for full-body relief.
Feet? Yep! Weird? Maybe. Effective? Absolutely.
It’s not Thai.
It’s not Ashiatsu.
Resistance stretching
Posture and Pain Relief uses resistance stretching to lengthen and strengthen at the same time. If you’re tired of doing yoga all day, every day, and not feeling better, your body isn’t the problem. Lasting change happens when your muscles are engaged as they lengthen- and that’s exactly what resistance stretching does.
From the ground up:
When it comes to posture, it starts with the lower body. It might surprise you, but restrictions in your legs have a huge impact on how everything stacks up above the waist- including your neck and shoulders. Posture and Pain Relief sessions focus on the lower body first, with frequent reassessing so we always know what’s working for your body and what’s not.
Did you say feet?
Yep! If you’re a little leery about getting stepped on, you’re not the first. It sounds unusual- and it is. But there is a method to it. Using his feet allows Eric to sink into muscles with broad, comfortable pressure while the soothing rhythm helps your nervous system settle. (Don’t worry, his socks are clean.)

“My first session with Eric was easily one of the most therapeutic experiences I've ever had. His work goes really deep into the tissues is very unique and effective -- I noticed a dramatic difference right away in how my body felt. I only wish I lived closer to him so I could see him more often!”
