He specializes in dry needling, manual therapy, soft tissue mobilization, custom orthotics, strength training, cardiovascular conditioning, as well as reducing and preventing acute and chronic pain. Eric grew up in Massachusetts, he went on to earn his Bachelors in Psychology at UMass Amherst.
Eric’s love for weightlifting and strength training landed him a personal training job in 2014. After training for many years, he wanted to continue his education and become a physical therapist. He received his Doctorate of Physical Therapy at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Eric thought he was going to move back north after school but the North Carolina weather made him stay.Â
In his free time he likes to exercise, cook food, spend time with his wife and dogs, play video games and drum. Fun fact, if you want to make his day, bring him food!
