Your body knows how to heal. I help it remember.
Myofascial release is slow, focused bodywork that addresses the root of chronic pain—not just the symptoms. If you've tried everything and nothing's stuck, this might be why.

What is Myofascial Release?
Fascia is the connective tissue that runs through your entire body—surrounding muscles, bones, and organs. When it gets tight or restricted (from injury, stress, surgery, or just daily life), it can cause pain that shows up far from the source.
Myofascial release uses sustained, gentle pressure to let those restrictions soften and release. It's not about force. It's about giving your body the time and space to unwind patterns it's been holding—sometimes for years.
This isn't a spa massage. It's therapeutic work that gets to the why behind your pain.
My Services
An hour gives us time to focus. We can work with one or two areas that need attention—enough to start shifting patterns, not enough to rush. Good for maintenance or when you know where the tension lives.

Ninety minutes gives the body time to settle, and gives me time to listen. We can follow what shows up without watching the clock. If you're dealing with something that's been around for a while, this is usually the right pace.
Recommended for first time clients
Two hours is for the deep work. Patterns that have been held for years don't always let go quickly. Sometimes the body needs to know you're not going anywhere before it softens. This is for chronic pain, long-standing restrictions, or when you're ready to give the process real space.

Full Testimonials
“I've been coming to Myofascial Release Center and seeing Eric…for almost a year. Eric has helped tremendously in solving lower back pain and other long term injuries. I had previously tried chiropractors and doctors, without resolution”
Robert H.
“I'm willing to try anything to feel better in my body: PT, shots, massage, acupuncture, acupressure, Reiki, yoga, Pilates, stretch, and so on. All of those things have been great - temporarily. I'm a few months into myofascial treatments with Eric, and it's no exaggeration to say I am feeling and seeing substantial positive results that get more profound with each session.”
Deborah B.
“Eric…is the first massage therapist that I have found who can help me manage my chronic pain condition. I have been seeing him for approximately two years. He is professional, kind, and knowledgeable. Eric has been well trained and he uses that knowledge, in addition to outside research, to support his clientele.”
Jackie K.
“Eric is amazing- I have seen him 3-4 times, it's pricey but worth it. He has truly healed my body and I get clarity afterward, I feel better mentally and physically. I try to get stretched every 3-4 weeks- he has grounded me - his method has helped chronic neck pain, tight quadriceps and today I cannot wait for him to work on my hips. This guy is passionate, knowledgeable and truly wants to help you.”
Julie T.
“Eric's kindness, deep knowledge, and calming presence make every session something I look forward to. He takes the time to understand my body's specific needs, adjusting his techniques as needed to ensure I get the best results. I always leave feeling lighter, freer, and significantly better than when I walked in.
Thanks to Eric, I no longer suffer from the debilitating pain that once ruled my life. I've regained mobility in my SI joint and hip area, and my overall quality of life has improved dramatically. I can move freely again, without fear of pain holding me back.”
Melissa M.
“I've been seeing Eric… for a few months now, and he really had his work cut out for me when we first met.
I'm not flexible at all and have 56 years of tight muscles.
Eric has made a plan to get me where I need to be, from head to toe, and make running comfortable and more fluid again by really working on all my muscle groups.
He listens to my feedback and then goes to work on helping me get to where I need to be. I know this will be a marathon on getting my muscles where they need to be, no thanks to me, and Eric is definitely improving my muscle flexibility each and every session.”
