“Hands down, Erik Sherwood is one of the best massage therapists I have worked with. He has the ability to quickly determine which areas of the body compensate for other areas and he addresses the underlying source(s) of discomfort very effectively. After every session, I walk out of his office feeling happy, relaxed and MUCH less stressed out. He has become a very important part of my stress-reduction routine and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”
