Yelp Review 1


I have been seeing Erin for more than 4 years now, on and off. I really enjoy my visits to her, as I leave my appointment feeling absolutely pain free! 

Many people might not know what Rolfing is, but my quick definition of it is a cross between a deep tissue massage and a chiropractor. But I know that is still not accurate. Rolfing works the myofascia of your body. 

I have tried 2 other rolfers before I met Erin, and after my first appointment with her in April of 2006, I just kept coming back!

So... if you want to try a different modality of pain relief, that actually WORKS to put your body back into shape, pain-free, then try Erin out!!!

Erin Herdina is as good as it gets! 

I'm 41 and I'm very active having played hockey all my life. The 2009 hockey season was miserable. I missed nearly half the season from nagging injuries and when I was playing I was playing hurt and was actually planning on hanging up the skates. I have done physical therapy, massage, you name it, I thought I was out of options. My wife recommended that I go see Erin after she was recommended to go see her by another friend. 

My situation was that I was in a lot pain every morning, feeling stiff for the first 30 minutes of everyday after waking up. Well, those days are over!!! In the 2010 hockey season I played in ever game and I looked forward to playing after I had completed my 10 sessions with Erin. I'm looking forward to playing for many more seasons. Erin realigned the muscles in my body that have been out of alignment for over 32 years. My body actually physically looks different. I can tell and my wife can tell, I'm actually taller. I had an ACL/MCL surgery in 1994. Years after the surgery my knee that I had the procedure performed on began to look increasingly different from my other knee as the years passed. I just thought it was because the surgery deformed my knee. After a few sessions with Erin, I could not tell the difference between my right knee and my left knee, not to mention how more flexible it was. I have since passed her name on to 20 or so people and they have all had great results from Professional golfers, Moms and Dads, anyone who's in pain. I'm truly blown away by her ability to acutely understand my body, while continuing to remind me of old injuries that I had completely forgot about. She realigned my hips, raised a fallen arch, realigned a separated rotater cuff that I didn't even know was separated. I just know I have full range of motion of a shoulder for the first time in 10 years.

If you are feeling any discomfort, GO to her! Don't wait a second longer. My Dad, who is 65 and had 2 rods put in his back after herniating 2 disks. He couldn't walk from the handicap spot at the grocery store to the grocery carts for support. He had not even completed his sessions and my 3 brother and I decided to take him to Target Field. We were trying to figure out were we should drop him off, because we knew he couldn't walk. The day of the game, we parked in a lot and he walked 5 blocks with no pain. We walked to our seats and sat in our seats for the entire game, we walked downtown from bar to bar and my Dad felt no pain. She has single-handedly changed my families lives forever. We have so much to be thankful for.

Erin, YOU ROCK! And thank you for doing what you do so well!

I saw Erin for the first time a week ago. I followed the recommendation of a friend who has been seeing her for years. Having had many forms of body work over the years, I wasn't anticipating quite the experience I had. I have had chronic pain in my neck for nearly a year. No massage therapist or PT has been able to shake it loose. As we started the treatment, Erin examined the balance in my body and I was able to visually see the way my body's structure had overcompensated for the pain I was experiencing. 

After an hour of her work, I got up off of her table and every nerve ending in my body was firing. The pain in my neck was largely gone...and more importantly, when I stood in front of the mirror and took an honest evaluation of my entire structure, the imbalances I had seen were back to their normal state.

Erin is a remarkable understanding of the body and the connections between nerves, muscle, tendons and bone. She works systemically to balance the body to it's healthiest state. She doesn't claim she'll work "magic" on your body, she just does! 

I'm experienced at receiving all types of both traditional and nontraditional remedies for pain over the years and I would recommend Erin to anyone who suffers from pain and discomfort. She provided quick relief from pain that has daunted me for some time. I can't wait to go back!

I am an athlete, dancer and personal trainer, I use my body everyday for my life's work and hobbies. Because I put a lot of stress on my body, it's important to me to keep it healthy and on track. 

I was referred to Erin over a year ago and went through the 10 treatments, I was very pleased with the results. I have had a lot of massage, and still do, but this was different. This was a "treatment" that looked at the structure of my body and not just massaging and releasing muscle tension.

I have referred a number of my clients to Erin to help them in areas that my strengthening, flexibility and mobility exercises were not reaching. I have watched how she has changed their body in ways I didn't imagine possible.

I think it is very important for people to go through a series of treatments to get your bone structure, musculature back in alignment. Then you'll be ready to hit the field, gym, bike or golf course hard!

I've had many Rolfing sessions with Erin and think the work is amazing! As an Advanced Rolfer, Erin is extremely knowledgeable and skilled! I was especially intrigued by the fact that she trained on Chinese Olympic athletes. I figured if she's good enough to be allowed to work on the best athletes in the world, I'd certainly love for her to work on my body. What a difference! I had been having pain in my knee when I went running. Erin quickly determined the problem and corrected it. I've never had the pain since. Doing the 10 series for my whole body, to get all structurally re-aligned, was probably the best thing I've physically ever done for myself. Highly recommended!

Erin is a gifted rolfer. She is very respectful of me and my body, and very confident in her assessments and treatment. I always, always leave feeling as if my aches and pains have been completely addressed. Her treatments last me a good long time and I easily resume my activities with energy and enthusiasm.

Her treatment room is well appropriated, serene, and clean. I just do not want to leave the space nor, finish my treatment. I joking say, she has ruined me for life when it comes to traditional massage. Her work goes to my core and move well beyond relaxation to joy.

Thank you Erin for sharing your gifts and for committing your self completely to rolfing. You national and international reputation is certainly well deserved.
