Energetic Body Center

I am healthy, in good shape and I don’t have any sport injuries. I know that, even for healthy people, massage is one of the best way to improve your health. I love massages, but Eric surpassed all my expectations. The first thing that impressed me about Eric, was the attention he gave to the health history of my body. Before he started the first massage he knew all important information about my life style, health and any pain I feel in my body. His knowledge about the human body, muscles, tendons and nerves was the second thing that amazed me. His attention for details, his kind nature and gentle guidance during the massage created the best experience I ever had when I received a massage. The room, music, temperature were just perfect. The strokes were designed for my body, not too soft, not too strong, exactly what my body need it. I felt incredible relaxed and very good for 4 days after that. I immediately schedule another massage for the following week. The experience is so serene for me, that I have to have at least one massage a week with Eric. I am so grateful that I found him.

I have just recently starting taking Eric’s classes as a new part of my workouts and I have to say that it has been a very humbling experience. I have always been focused on a heavy cardio workout but his classes have taught me that I have been missing out on a key component to my body’s health… Stretching. His classes have helped me understand the importance to this neglected part of my daily routines. The small group classes are great because you still are able to receive the one-​on-​one personal attention in a group setting. His classes are a combination of everything from core work, strengthening, stretching and even a bit of laughter. I like the fact that the sessions are never the same and that he challenges a different muscle group each class. It’s a work out that has taken me by surprise and what it has actually done for me. I am now able to incorporate a lot of his exercises and techniques either at home or on the road while traveling. I highly recommend checking into his classes, you’ll be glad you did.

I had a problem earlier this year getting a bad case of meniscus-​runners injury. I went to my Doctor and was given stacks and stacks of pills. tried that for six to seven months with no success. Nothing worked. Finally out of desperation I decided to get a massage. Several friends of mine take exercise classes with Eric and highly recommended his massage… Low and behold after my third or fourth session, I was able to return to running thanks to the attention and great hands of Eric!
Eric was extremely professional and gave me some stretches to do at home. He was able to focus on the inflamed area and work it out over the course of a few sessions.
Thanks Eric!

I have had the privilege of being a client of Eric’s for 10 years. Not only is he a gifted masseuse he is equally as talented as a Pilates instructor. He has worked with me extensively after a complex surgery and injury. He is knowledgeable, patient, and kind. However, when I needed a kick in the pants to trust myself and my body he gave me one. I highly recommend Eric and Energetic Body Center.

EBC is where I went for help with my neck and shoulder. After Eric helped me get my mobility and range back through massage work, he gave me strengthening exercises that I do at home. I still see him for massage work once a month, but I am indebted to him for the strengthening tips that I do on my own at home.

I have known Eric for over 10 years and consider him to be one of the most amazing massage therapists around. I have used other massage therapists in my travels, but they do not compare to the masterful hands of this gifted massage therapist. Through the years, I have moved to different locations in the Bay Area, but always make time to get a massage from this truly proficient massage therapist. Eric is very knowledgeable about different styles of massage and hones in on your body’s needs. From the moment you arrive, to the time you leave his Center, you are relaxed. I cannot recommend Eric highly enough. He is a true professional.

I had my first massage by Eric this evening. It was a wonderful experience. Everything was ready when I arrived. Relaxing start to finish. Dim lights and wonderful soundtrack. The room was very comfortable; the temperature was perfect. I think even the table was heated. I’m very happy about that because for me nothing is more annoying than having a massage in a cold or drafty room. He took it easy on me because I hadn’t had a massage for a while and he didn’t want me to be sore. He could tell I was a little tense when I arrived so he put lavender on the face rest. Very nice. He kept reminding me to breath and that also helped me to relax and leave the day behind me. He did ask about previous injuries which no other massage therapist had ever done before. I didn’t mentioned that I had minor shoulder issues, but Eric worked wonders with my rotator cuff problem. Eric was very professional and I could tell he cared a lot for my well being. I didn’t feel rushed at the end. Every muscle felt great when I left and the tension in my face and shoulders is completely gone. Now I get to hold onto that feeling. He said he also does 10 – 15 minute chair massage when you don’t have a full hour!

I came to Eric for help with my scoliosis. I was in pain, overweight and my curvature had been steadily progressing over time. Eric’s expertise in fitness and massage meets my needs perfectly. Here’s the proof: * I lost over 20 lbs. * Have beautiful long, lean muscles and functional strength * Have achieved more balance in the muscles and fascia that support my spine and am 100% pain free * I’m actually taller now and my recent x-​rays show an 11 degree reduction of my thoracic curvature. And if that’s not enough good news, I’m now confidently and happily able to wear short shorts and bikinis! Yay! Thank you Eric, you rock!

I have been going to Eric for both Pilates and Massages for over 6 years. I began when I injured my back and my chiropractor referred me to Eric for massages. My back improved but I still had ongoing lower back pain that was always kind of there. Eric and my chiropractor both kept telling me to do Pilates. Finally I started going weekly for Pilates classes. Boy, did that make a difference within 6 weeks I was close to pain free and now after 6 years unless I do major gardening or something I am still pain free.
He has a nice studio with one room devoted to Pilates and Yoga and another smaller room for massage.
Eric is always professional and very knowledgeable he is also fun and very caring about his clients health.
