At Chattanooga Bodyworks, we believe in treating the body as a whole. Our services address your unique needs and offer a personalized approach to wellness.

Our Wellness Options

Dive into the transformative practice of Rolfing Structural Integration, a therapy that focuses on the fascia—connective tissue surrounding your muscles. This method works by systematically aligning and balancing the body to enhance posture, reduce physical discomfort, and improve overall bodily functions. Ideal for individuals experiencing chronic pain, recovering from injuries, or seeking to improve posture and mobility, Rolfing offers profound benefits that extend beyond the physical, promoting a deeper sense of body awareness and well-being.

Our Integrative Bodywork is a key part of our holistic approach. We combine techniques from different modalities to craft a personalized treatment plan targeting your unique health challenges. Whether it’s muscle tension, stress relief, or energy balancing, our skilled providers use a combination of techniques, including myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, and acupressure, to facilitate your body’s natural healing process.

Relax and rejuvenate with our expertly delivered massage therapies. Whether it’s Swedish, deep tissue, or sports massage, every session is designed to help you relax, release tension, and heal. Our providers excel at creating a soothing space where you can relax, reconnect with yourself, and leave feeling completely refreshed and revitalized.

Today will be the final session of the 10 sessions series for me. Along with the weekly session itself, Eric has provided me tons of physical and mental practices to incorporate throughout my day to day. I can say that I am forming new habits that take better care of my body and I am grateful for the experience/journey we've shared over the last couple months. If you are looking for change and aren't afraid of homework, I would highly recommend.

I had never even heard of Rolfing a few months ago - I was just willing to accept that after the age of 60 I would be less flexible, have some consistent pains and feel less energetic about doing physical activities. A friend told me that her physical therapist recommended Eric and Rolfing for her shoulder pain - I was very skeptical and starting researching what the process involved. It sounded interesting and I thought I would give it a try. So happy that I did! I found Eric to be professional and informative and I felt like a different person after the first session - maybe my facia was really in need of adjustment - but I found each session very beneficial . Now that my 10 sessions have ended I plan to go back periodically forever - thank you Eric

Eric has saved my lower back and neck multiple times over the last nearly 5 years. It really makes a difference. I enjoy and benefit from the sessions so much that I'd go weekly if money and time didn't conflict!

Hands down the greatest bodywork in Chattanooga and the best I've ever experienced.As a retired gymnast, I have been left with plenty of aches and pains.Recently, my neck has been growing increasingly painful and stiff, and stretching and chiropractic were showing little improvement, and that was when I found Eric with Chattanooga Body Works.In a single session I have experienced freedom and relief in my neck for the first time in years. Not only am I enjoying the results, but the treatment was incredibly relaxing, and Eric's skillset and experience shone through.Eric made sure to give me plenty of exercises and ways in which I can support my neck improvements before my next session.If you're experiencing discomfort or physical limitations, do yourself a favor and book an appointment with Eric. Your body will thank you for it.
