Eric Shah, proprietor, has been an athlete since day one, playing such sports as baseball, soccer, football, tennis, surfing and skateboarding.  He was also a professional ballet dancer, instructor, coach, mentor and choreographer for 30 years.  After years of tearing, ripping, twisting, pulling, and breaking much of his body, Eric discovered a wide range of healing modalities which led to extensive study and accreditations.  He has been a manual therapist and movement educator now for over 25 years.
