Eric B., LMT, CNMT
Certified neuromuscular massage therapist 

 

Eric BrahaIn 1999 I earned my 1000 hour master massage graduate diploma from Rainstar University in Scottsdale, Arizona. This all-inclusive program featured an immersion into the major systems of the human body, along with a thorough hands-on study of the art and business of massage therapy.  


In June of 2000 I earned my neuromuscular massage therapy (NMT) certification from The Paul St. John Institute in Florida.


Neuromuscular Therapy is a comprehensive program of soft tissue manipulation techniques that balance the central nervous system (brain, spinal column and nerves) with the structure and form of the musculoskeletal system. NMT is based on neurological laws that explain how the central nervous system maintains homeostatic balance. These same laws dictate how the central nervous system initiates pain response.


From this advanced teaching I learned how to assess a person’s posture (which often reveals clues to the source of their pain) and precise massage techniques that treat muscles accurately and efficiently. 

 

In addition to my specialty in neuromuscular massage (medical massage), I offer deep-tissue massage, sports massage, relaxation massage, lymphatic drainage massage, Hawaiian lomi lomi massage, foot reflexology, and any combination of these in my practice.

 

I have successfully treated hundreds of patients and clients from all walks of life with massage therapy, and I look forward to meeting and working with you at the Hawaiian Experience Spa in Scottsdale Arizona!

Eric's Neuromuscular Lomi Lomi Massage

My custom massage combines deep neuromuscular massage techniques with the soothing strokes of Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage for an experience that is both highly therapeutic and relaxing. After a quick consultation in which I will identify any problem areas that you would like addressed I will begin the treatment.

 

The first portion of the Neuromuscular Lomi Lomi will be done with little or no massage oil and will focus on releasing and reeducating any tight muscles. If you have a specific injury or problem area this portion of the massage can be focused entirely on that area if you wish. Otherwise, I will go through your muscles one by one finding and releasing myofascial trigger points (knots in your muscles), releasing and lengthening chronically tight muscles, and providing you with general relief from pain associated with muscle tension.

 

In the second half of your treatment I will cover your body with warm oil so I can begin a Lomi Lomi massage. The soothing and moderately deep Lomi Lomi strokes will help your body relax after the deep and pin point neuromuscular portion of the treatment. Lomi Lomi is a full body massage that will enable me to help increase circulation to your muscles while providing you with significant detoxification benefits. This unique combination of neuromuscular and Lomi Lomi massage is great for anyone with any muscle tension or pain (no matter how moderate or severe). You will leave the treatment relaxed and renewed!

Client Comment (see all comments): "If you haven't been to the Hawaiian Experience Spa yet you are missing the best therapists in Scottsdale at a very reasonable price. I have been suffering from hip and low back pain as the result of an accident for over seven years. I think I've tried almost every spa or massage place in Scottsdale. After only three neuromuscular sessions with Eric, I am 98% pain free. Great atmosphere & staff." Therese H.

 

"This was definitely not a "generic" massage. I felt that Eric customized the treatment very well to what I needed medically, and I had a more relaxing massage experience as a result." Denise B., Scottsdale
