Eric Hutton RMT - Registered Massage Therapist
Vernon, B.C.

Treatment Style

Eric loves fascia and has a therapeutic approach to massage therapy using a multitude of oil-free myofascial release techniques. Myofascial release is a safe and effective hands-on technique that involves applying gentle sustained pressure into the layers of myofascial connective tissue helping to remove restrictions to reduce pain and restore motion. These restrictions can be caused by many things including trauma, inflammatory responses, muscle imbalances, and/or surgical procedures and can severely limit functional movement.

Myofascial release techniques can help to increase tissue flexibility and joint mobility by breaking down adhesions between the tissues and softening and re-aligning the fibres (especially with scars). This helps to free up muscles and joints allowing for easier and more effective movement. Reduction of pain, reduced areas of muscle tension and improved flexibility and posture are all common benefits.

While this type of treatment can reach deep structures in the body, Eric strives for his techniques to be as pain free as possible. Thus helping the body unwind and promoting the parasympathetic nervous system to aid in overall relaxation.

Eric also uses a variety of techniques including joint play & mobilization, muscle energy (using a muscle's own energy in the form of gentle isometric contractions to relax the muscles) and PNF stretching (Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation) involving both the stretching and contracting of a targeted muscle group).

Areas of Focus

Some of Eric's areas of focus include: nerve pain & dysfunction, post surgery injury rehabilitation, scar care & joint mobility, carpal tunnel, tennis & golfers elbow, plantar fasciitis, thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS), adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder), scoliosis, IT band dysfunction, TMJ disorders (jaw pain, clicking, grinding), repetitive stress injuries, tension headaches, muscle strains and ligament sprains, sciatica & piriformis pain, whiplash, joint pain & office worker tension/pain.

After a brief and comprehensive initial patient assessment, Eric works together with his patients to identify underlying factors causing dysfunction. The goal is to go beyond treating symptoms that will only provide temporary relief of pain.

Patient education is very important. Eric strives to help his patients understand their treatments so that they are better able to manage their bodies. This way they can continue to heal every day, not just while in for treatments.


Testimonials

Very professional and amazing! My therapist Eric has gone out of his way to learn more about my disorder (that isn't very common) to be able to help me further. After years of chronic pain, my treatment at Little Blue House has helped me feel like a normal person again who can do normal person things because I'm no longer in constant pain. I very highly recommend this business!

I took an appointment with Eric for neck pain related to my work on a computer. 75 min and he took my pain away like no other massage therapist did before! He explained everything in details during the whole treatment so I could understand. Definitely planning on booking with him again.

Eric has helped me more in two treatments, than in a year of weekly alternating massage and physio for a chronic shoulder injury/RSI. My range of motion was doubled after the first treatment, and was better than my "good shoulder!" I normally need to seek therapy every two weeks from deep tissue massage, but his technique was so gentle and effective. I can't wait to see him again, the next time I'm in town! He's worth the trip!

I have been battling chronic and acute back pain from work related injuries for the last couple years. There was a time that I thought living in pain and unable to do activities like simply dressing myself was my new reality. I have been seeing Eric for a couple of months and I am feeling better, moving better and the best part is my back is no longer my main issue!! I really feel Eric has helped me gained my mobility back, and enabled me to start living a life free of pain!! His techniques work. Now to fix the rest of me!! Thank you Eric!!

Eric's dedication into providing relief to my everyday life has been a great experience. His willingness to share his knowledge has also been helpful into understanding more about what is happening with my own body. His approach to treatment is gentle and effective. I'd recommend those who wish to see results without having to be in pain to go to see him.

Eric is wonderful. I came in with chronic knee pain that I didn’t think could be fixed or even find relief. After a 60 minute focused treatment using myofacial release and a variety of other techniques my pain was gone. Not only was the treatment pain free, but I also felt improvement for weeks afterwards. Truely amazing. Eric also sent me home with realistic aftercare instructions that were specific to meet my needs and goals for continued mobility. He was also knowledgeable and thorough in addressing my concerns and treating them. Thank you!

Eric is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about his work as an RMT. His myofascial release techniques help to resolve issues for good, not just temporarily. He is always friendly and professional - highly recommend!

I love fascial release techniques because they're so gentle but effective - I never feel sore afterward! Eric's communication is great and he talks about the different muscles involved in your issue so you can have a greater understanding of what's going on. He's professional and I always feel comfortable and safe on the table.

I saw Eric for prenatal massage. His techniques really helped keep my hips and body mobilizing well so that I could I keep up to my busy life. His combination of myofacial facial release and joint mobilization kept me in alignment and well as eased stress. With minimal use of oil I could go about my day immediately afterwards. I felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the treatment and may have even fallen asleep. Afterwards, I was moving better and pain free with better posture. Eric aftercare tips were practical and I could easily incorporate them into my daily routine for lasting improvements!

Eric is a gentle and knowledgeable RMT, I trust him to help my family, friends and myself
