A session with Dr. Eric is like floating on a tranquil sea, surrounded by gentle healing waves. Breathing into the places in my body that his hands draw attention to, brings new life to these areas, opening and releasing tensions held through physical habit and reactions to everyday life.
Dr. Eric's knowledge and intuition guide him and his healing talents and benefit his clients to become more of who they want to be. I am grateful to Eric for all his work. Thank you from Sarah.

From the moment I entered Dr. Eric's office, I was comfortable. I was able to relax to a state that I have not reached with other chiropractors. I was amazed at how Dr. Tan could read my body so well. He seemed to know about every tensed spots and further move where the tension stemmed from. After hearing his analysis and agreeing with it, my trust grew to his theories on energy movement and why I was feeling the way I was.
His techniques were gentle which assisted me with staying in a deep state of meditation and even after the first visit, I saw results. Honestly, my vision seemed to change…"almost like I was able to focus more clearly!" Dr. Eric also explained things to me that I never knew about "Self-healing." Since then, I have made a conscious effort to relax certain areas when feeling stressed and it really helps. "Mind over Matter," I suppose…

I want to write about my first visit to a holistic chiropractor. I had the opportunity to experience a session with Dr. Eric yesterday, and I think I am still continuing to experience the effect.
It was my first visit to a chiropractor, and I had very little knowledge about it. Dr. Eric also works holistically, and I have had holistic therapies quite a number of times, and so was open to whatever would happen. It turns out my body was twisted out of alignment, notably my skull and ribs. I also had a lot of stuff going on in my right shoulder area, which he described as being in a defensive posture. Since I never suffered physical trauma to the area, he suggested it might have an emotional cause, which totally makes sense.
I cannot really describe the session itself. It has to be experienced to be understood. However, the feeling I had afterward was quite striking. I felt that my feet were planted very firmly and evenly on the ground. I felt much more connected to the ground, almost like a tree. I honestly could not remember any other time in my life I felt like that.
Dr. Eric suggested that the last time I had experienced that feeling was way back when I was 7 or 8, and that something happened at around that time in my life. If this is true, I know EXACTLY what it is, as it changed my life irrevocably and shaped the core of who I am today (and unfortunately not in a good way).The other related feeling I had, in addition to feeling more grounded and centered, was that I no longer felt any worry or anxiety around the things that have been causing me worry and anxiety lately. I no longer feel a huge sense of time-urgency to get things done or worry about my financial situation. It's not like anything has changed. I'm just not worrying about it or putting pressure on myself to accomplish gazillion things in a short period of time. Dr. Eric also commented that I had a more confident and authoritative posture after the session than when I came in. Thank you from Dr. Sharon.

I'm a writer. I spend most of every day sitting at a chair typing. My bad posture was beginning to catch up with me, so when Dr. Eric invited me to his clinic, I was motivated by more than just curiosity.
Intuitive-Soul Chiropractic had a warm atmosphere that put me at ease immediately. I asked a lot of questions and Dr. Eric answered them all in a clear and down-to-earth way, giving me confidence in his abilities before he even laid a hand on my spine. The treatment itself was both relaxing and energizing. Dr. Eric's chiropractic style was gentle, but he was able to find and focus on the exact spots that had been giving me trouble.
After the treatment I felt different - taller, straighter and even a little clumsy, as I adjusted to the extra inch or two of height that Dr. Eric's treatment had recaptured for me. I had known that my back was giving me trouble, but I hadn't realized quite how much I had been slumping in upon myself. It was as if I had been looking through a window that had been getting dirty so slowly that I hadn't noticed it - but after the session I felt clear and fresh again.
My experience with Dr. Eric at Intuitive-Soul Chiropractic was a strongly positive one, and I can confidently recommend him, particularly to anyone trying to bring feelings of clarity and confidence into their lives.

After adapting to some chronic pain from 2 previous car accidents (the last one being in 2003), I decided it was time to pay Dr. Eric a visit. He kindly spent some time educating me on the concept of chiropractic care and network analysis. Dr. Eric also gathered information from me regarding my previous experiences with chiropractic. Following my assessment, Dr. Eric confirmed that my spine was not only out of line, but a few other things were going on as well. We decided to get started on my 1st treatment - never did I expect such incredible relief after a single treatment. I have lived with tightness in my neck (R side) since 2001 after the 1st rear-ending. It is unbelievable what progress Dr. Eric has made and this is only the beginning! It is not a treatment when you see Dr. Eric, but rather an empowering experience!

As an Exercise Coach, my body has been put through the ringer participating in sports such as softball, soccer, dance, weightlifting and kickboxing to name a few. To add to this recipe for misalignment, I was in a car accident 4 years ago, which I have come a long way since, but have still been looking for the right type of care to re-integrate my body, so that it can return to its highest standard. Furthermore, there is some amount of discomfort, to say the least that comes along with chronically tight areas that just can't seem to be stretched out. As you can imagine, I have seen my share of health care workers, but none can compare to Dr. Eric Tan.
Dr. Eric is one of the rare types of chiropractors that can embody a holistic approach to true healing. My hallucination is that he would say, "In order to heal your body you must use not only your head, but your heart!" His method is unique to the chiropractic industry in that he uses his intuitive senses that allow him to find problem areas, and re-connect each piece of your body back into the whole. Through his integrated approach to full body healing, I was able to release tension within my body, and find comfort in my neck that I never thought I would feel again.
I urge all of you to receive care from Dr. Eric so that you may experience the body you had before the pain and anxieties, and re-claim the CALM within yourself.

I would like to share my experience with Dr. Eric to date.
I am a 35 year old male who has suffered from lower back and neck proble These problems can be described as extreme tension in both my neck and back. Over the years I have developed bad habits to relieve these tensions by self-manipulating my body to induce cracking, providing a temporary release in tension.I have seen a chiropractor before but to no avail. I was briskly rushed in and out with little consultation or explanation of symptoms and corrective measures. I went for 3 visits in 2002 and since them I have been skeptical about chiropractic and have been suffering since that time.
I was referred to Dr. Eric and I am currently in for my 4th visit. During my consultation, Dr. Eric took the time to sit down with me, understand my concerns, worries and sympto He made me feel at ease. We went right from consultation into a session. Dr. Eric explained the process to me as he was working with me. After my first session, I could not explain the sensation I was feeling. I was speechless. I felt lighter and like a New Person.
My second and third visit had similar results - a general feeling of euphoria has been felt since my first visit. I am proud of my progress and am happy that my tension released and self cracking habit has subsided. I now feel in Tune with my body.
It is evident that Dr. Eric takes pride in his profession and is passionate about helping people.
Thank you, Dr. Eric for leading me down this path of healing and well being. I have already noticed a significant increase in my health and state of mind and I look forward to continued progress with Dr. Eric.

I felt that I was able to let go my tensions during the visit. I felt lighter after the visit and it is good to feel good again. I am amazed with the integration of "Energetic" healing with chiropractic care. I would recommend it to anyone who wished to feel a difference in his/her life. My stomach loosened and my appetite increased after the first visit. If I were you, I would like someone who is passionate about his work like Dr. Eric to take care of me - to give me a hand - in realizing my own body's healing potential and my drea Thank you Dr. Eric.

On Feb 2004 I slipped, fell, torqued my entire body and landed on my right hip bone, my right wrist, and hurt my right shoulder. I am 56 years old active person. I went through 3 chiropractors, 1 physiotherapist and 1 osteopath in attempt to repair and realign my body. Last month, March 2007, I was still in pain and struggling to walk without pain. After 3 years I was told by my doctor that I would need a hip surgery until I was lead to Dr. Eric and his unique method of treating the entire body.
After 1 treatment I felt an improvement. After 3 treatments I walked without pain. Someone actually told me that I walked too fast for them to catch up with me. I know that I am on the road to becoming my active, healthy, and happy self again. A heartfelt thank you Dr. Eric.

I came to Dr. Eric because of ongoing problems with my Achilles' tendon…but of course, it is not just my Achilles' tendon. Dr. Eric has impressive formal training, but what set him apart are his gifts of intuition and insight. He gently suggests the bigger picture…body, mind, spirit…his easy manner pursues you to understand more and take better care of yourself. Dr. Eric works in ways that are beyond gentle…and sometimes not very gentle at all. My body seems to like this and my mind too. As Dr. Eric works to bring harmony and ease back to my body. I am working pretty diligently to keep it there by working with my "Thoughts" and the harmony of stress that they can bring into our syste Dr. Eric has knowledge and wisdom and a passion to share it.

My experience with Dr. Eric has been very good. What happened is that my car malfunctioned. It started to move backwards on its own. The brakes did not work. There was no other solution left for me than to throw myself out of the car. Since it was moving, I could not step out. I landed hard on my left side. The car ended up in a ditch upside down. A friend of mine told me how much Dr. Eric had helped her with her back. She had not found anyone else that could give her some relief. Since after the first treatment, I feel so much better. Now there is hardly any pain left!

I met Doctor Eric Tan at a business meeting. After talking to him about his work and a visit to his website I knew he is not the "usual" chiropractor. Being a Shiatsu practitioner I knew how beneficial it is to treat a client's problem in a holistic way. Body, Mind and Spirit are intertwined and influencing each other greatly. Therefore they need to be assessed and treated together to get the results we are looking for. The release of stagnant energy combined with and the movement of the body's life energy can help bring the patient back to a good state of health.
Even though I had no major pain or concerns, there was the occasional nagging and pulling pain in my right lumbar area. I was looking forward to my treatment.
Doctor Tan started with his diagnosis. He observed my body, touched my shoulder and chest, felt my hips and legs. The right side of my body was twisted inward, out of alignment. Then he started to work on me. His touch changed from extremely light to a gentle touch. He moves my arms and gently massages my neck, working his way up to my head. He works along my whole body the head, shoulders, back, hips, legs and feet. His touch and techniques changing and so is my state of mind, emotion and sensation.
After the treatment I felt extremely grounded and calm. Walking along the street back to my car I watched my own posture in the window mirrors. Yes, I felt and looked straighter. I was calm and relaxed.
I would recommend Doctor Tan to anybody who is interested to learn more about the importance of the body-mind-sprit connection. Doctor Tan treats the root cause of the signs and sympto His work goes deep down the core and heart of the body and not only superficial. Doctor Tan's work style and results are exceptional.

Can I even fit my experience on one page! When I first met Dr. Eric, it was because two friends were raving about their adventures in healing with him. I knew that traditional chiropractic care was not enough for me. I needed someone who would be sensitive to my energy, my "lights" - someone who would not judge me when I told them that a whole lot of emotional stuff was coming up for me during the treatments. Dr. Eric was the one!
My first visit…my own personal "Energy Field" expanded and shifted so much in such a positive way that I was difficult to even speak about it. I was "Bigger." I felt more connected to my body. More aware. More alive. I know I am on an awareness and healing journey and the only limit is myself. Dr. Eric has been an awesome facilitator of finding my own healing power. He was helped me to remember that I am a RockStar! If you are ready to heal and grow - see Dr. Eric. Just be ready for the lessons and life shifts that will pop up.
Love and Smiles - Bless the Planet. Hollie.

When I first learned of Dr. Eric and his (gentle) methods, I was extremely skeptical. So much, in fact, my first appointment was booked for me by my girlfriend. My skepticism was quickly put to ease. Dr. Eric's Bed-side Manner, professionalism, and personality are only surpassed by his talent and his ability. I immediately felt a difference not only in my injured shoulder, but in my whole body and energy. Dr. Eric did in 8 (weekly) visits what my intensive physiotherapy was unable to do in 16 (3x a week) visits.
I highly and strongly recommend Dr. Eric to anyone considering or requiring any sort of physical therapy or rehabilitation. Thank you. Dr. Eric.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have been a co-member with this exceptional person since April of this year. This individual has proved to be the best of their kind in their profession that I have ever experienced…and I have experienced a few! His ability to do the work with excellence and with such professionalism is outstanding. This individual is none other than Dr. Eric Tan.
I have had a very bad sciatic nerve pain from about September 2006 until even when I first saw Dr. Eric in April. I had listened to his infomercials, scoped out his website, and I was very much intrigued by his approach. After filling up an extensive amount of pre-session forms (8 pages), I was convinced that this gentleman was a master at what he does.After a few amazing sessions, I can proudly say that I have not had one problem with my sciatic nerve since. His thorough service, his tenacity of life, and his motivation to see his patients are just some of the fine characteristics that prove his amazing services.
I highly recommend Dr. Eric, hands down.

I have always been a skeptic, mainly due to the fact that I have gone to several massage therapists and chiropractors in the past. My previous experience was that it was a quick 10-15 minute painful appointment. I would feel better, but 2-3days after treatment I would return back to my previous painful state.
At the time of my first BNI meeting, I was looking for a chiropractor but did not want those conventional "bend me / crack me" style work done; and hearing Dr. Eric's infomercial, it struck me to give him a try as I was curious about the gentle healing he often mentions.
My initial reason for visiting Dr. Eric was because my neck and back were sore. I just wanted those parts of my body fixed. But, after what is now 6 weeks of treatment, I realize that there is a lot more potential in my body that I had not realized. Not only does my back and neck feel better, but I stand more upright, I have more energy through the day, I sleep like a baby at night and I can get a better performance out of my body playing sports and going to the gym. This just a part of the change that I have experienced.
What really strikes me from his infomercial is the part when he says "you do not have to be sick, to be well". That is the truth!
Thank you. Dr. Eric!

I was referred to Dr. Eric about 3 weeks ago. I was looking for a chiropractor who worked with each patient as an individual with unique concerns and histories. I was also looking for someone in tune with the human body and who worked with energies and physical problems on a cellular as well as spiritual level. I got more than I bargained for!
I have seen Dr. Eric about 3 or 4 times and each time is a new and profound experience. He hones in exactly on the areas that need to be dealt with and opens me up - I feel more open and aware of my body than I ever have. I stand up straighter and consequently feel more empowered and in control of the direction my life is heading.
I had been told before that I live too much in my head; that my body has been completely cut off and I have felt that way for a long time. I feel that with Dr. Eric's infinite patience and skill, I am on the road to recovery - both physically and emotionally.

Through his work, Dr. Eric has been able to help my body release its tensions and stress. I cannot remember the last time I did not feel some sort of discomfort from simply trying to stand up straight; slowly my body is coming back into alignment. My shoulders feel great!
