Spent six months with Eric rehabbing my ACL/Meniscus. I’ve been through PT before, and I can confidently say this was the best experience I’ve ever had. Eric was attentive and engaged. He was really focused on my recovery. Would recommend him to anybody !“Eric is very knowledgeable when it comes to getting pain free through gentle stretching/mobility and strength training exercises.

I took my very active, soccer driven, teenage son to see Eric for a stress fracture in his vertebrae. Eric worked really well with my son. I felt comfortable leaving him alone with Eric for treatment sessions. Eric was constantly evaluating and re-evaluating my son's progress to create an effective care plan. He was really encouraging and reassuring that my son would make his way back on to the pitch. I have recommended him to other parents with teenage athletes who are in need physical therapy and would return to his care in a heartbeat.“Eric is very knowledgeable when it comes to getting pain free through gentle stretching/mobility and strength training exercises. He is very personable and I would recommend him to anyone who is dealing with everyday/chronic pain. Thanks Eric!”

Individualized Exercise and Strength Training

Real strength comes from moving well, not just moving weight. Our individualized exercise programs blend strength training with movement quality to create bodies that perform in the real world—whether that's on the trail, at the gym, or in daily life. We assess your unique movement patterns, identify areas for improvement, and build progressive training strategies that enhance both your physical capacity and your confidence to use it.

I had surgery on my ACL in June of 2023 and started working with Eric in August. He was great and the treatment and care I received was very helpful. It was a long and tough journey but Eric was great in pushing me to be the best athlete I can be while also motivating me to the end of our sessions. His care was some of the best I've got to work with and would recommend him for anyone that is looking to recover from any injuries or surgery.“Eric is very knowledgeable when it comes to getting pain free through gentle stretching/mobility and strength training exercises. He is very personable and I would recommend him to anyone who is dealing with everyday/chronic pain. Thanks Eric!”

By combining precise manual work with movement-based strategies, we don't just reduce pain; we restore your body's natural ability to move freely and efficiently in the real world.

Eric was awesome. He got me back from a sprained ankle and hairline fracture back to running a marathon I was ready to give up on after my injury. He was a perfect balance of optimism while still being realistic. Fully recommend to anyone but especially athletes.“Eric is very knowledgeable when it comes to getting pain free through gentle stretching/mobility and strength training exercises.
