Effective, Corrective, and Lasting Deep Tissue Massage Therapy in Montpelier, Vermont
Effective, Corrective, and Lasting Deep Tissue Massage Therapy in Montpelier, Vermont

Welcome. I'm Eric.
As a trauma-informed, board certified massage therapist and integrative nervous system coach. I design holistic Myofascial Release Therapy and Deep Tissue massage therapy treatments for people in Montpelier to resolve chronic pain, improve range of motion and regulate their nervous systems.
PAIN FREE LIVING IS ACHIEVABLE WITH THE RIGHT SUPPORT AND TECHNIQUES.

Unlike typical Massage Therapy, which focuses on pressing into muscles, Myofascial Release treatments focus on softening and lengthening fascia, taking the pressure off bones and freeing nerve impingements. While this gentle approach is very relaxing and does not hurt, the work goes deep and creates lasting changes in the body.

As odd as it may seem, I find tight armpits to be a big part of the root problem for things like: Neck pain, shoulder pain, headaches, thoracic outlet syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome and even many jaw issues like TMJ.
EXPERIENCE PROFOUND PAIN RELIEF, ENHANCED MOBILITY AND FEEL BETTER.

If you have SI Joint pain, hip joint pain or low back pain, you have a hip movement issue. I find as the body’s natural hip movements are restored, pain subsides and goes away. The simple solution is to mobilize the SI joints, get the hip bones moving again and experience pain naturally subside.
LIBERATE YOUR HIPS AND BE HAPPIER.
Sessions with me will likely be unlike anything you have experienced before. You will feel subtle, yet profound myofascial release techniques that decompress joints, soften fascial restrictions, relieve pressure on bones and alleviate pain, naturally and painlessly.
Afterwards, you will stand taller, with more ease in your body and you will move better with less or no pain.
If learning about your posture and how to improve it interests you, I can give you personalized exercises and stretches to do at home that will continue to change your fascia.
Changing fascia is not difficult. You just need a good teacher to show you the way.
REVITALIZE YOUR BODY AND SPIRIT.
In the 1940's and 50's, Ida Rolf created an entire manual therapy system utilizing Myofascial Release techniques to change fascia and improve a persons overall structural alignment which eliminates or greatly reduces all kinds of chronic pain while improving: joint mobility, muscle elasticity, balance, breathing, energy, vitality and an overall sense of being more embodied.
She called it Structural Integration, but it became widely known as Rolfing©. Going through a 10 series is like overhauling your whole body, mind and spirit. For many people it is a profound and life changing experience.
If you are feeling stuck in life, and are feeling like your body needs an overhaul, The Rolf 10 series can be a profound and powerful way to make changes in your life.
Changes are not limited to the physical body. It is common for people to experience improvements in their thinking and emotional bodies. Thinking gets more clear and emotions tend to come into balance as the physical body comes into alignment.
A healthier, more vibrant life is within reach. Lasting relief and rejuvenation await those ready to embrace a new approach to wellness.
YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS HERE.

The exact Phrase "myofascial release" was coined in the 1960's by Robert Ward, an osteopath who studied with Ida Rolf, the originator of Rolfing©. “Myo” refers to muscle and “fascial” refers to fascia, the thin fibrous material the runs through and wraps around muscles. Rolf created an entire bodywork system based on Myofascial Release techniques to treat chronic pain and improve posture. She called it Structural Integration, but in her honor, it became known as Rolfing©.
Myofascial Release treatments feel quite different than massage. Myofascial Release is like a blend of Physical Therapy, Chiropractic and Massage Therapy. In broad general terms, Massage Therapists work on the muscles, Physical Therapists strengthen muscles and Chiropractors work on the bones. Myofascial Release Therapists work in the fascia. By releasing fascial restrictions, the fasciae of the body can lengthen and become balance, which decompresses joints and allows bones to return to their natural alignment.
All Rolfers® are Structural Integrators, but not all Structural Integrators are Rolfers®. The words ROLFER and ROLFING are service marks of The Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® of Structural Integration. The words ROLFER and ROLFING are used by individuals trained and certified by the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute®. Other Schools of Structural Integration have shared roots with The Dr. Ida Rolf Institute® through the study of Ida Rolf's rich legacy of teachings. Graduates from other schools ca say they practice The Rolf Method of Structural Integration, not Rolfing®.
Structural Integration when done well is relaxing. Fascia changes effortlessly and painlessly when muscles are relaxed. It's magical.
No, you will benefit from a single session or two but the most lasting changes will be experienced during a Traditional Rolf 10 Series.
