After my 2nd visit with Dr. Eric, I experienced a deep physical release of years of tension and stress in my upper back. There was also something else difficult to put into words? But, that I can only describe as an “un-raveling” in my core. It stayed with me for days. Today after my 4th visit with Dr. Eric, I understand that “un-raveling” as a path/route to something deeper. Today the release I experiences was on many levels.
I definitely notice a difference in my breathing immediately after each session. I am a smoker and I have been thinking of quitting but, I am not quite there yet. However, after each session I have no desire to smoke cigarettes for several hours and I think the reason is because I am breathing better and just loving the way and the things I am feeling in my body. I have been smoking noticeably less since coming to see Eric but I am not sure if that's exactly related to the work we have been doing, but part of me thinks it could be.
I have definitely experienced the release of muscle tension along my spine. For years I have been constantly aware of the muscle tension in my upper back between my C7 and T3-T4. The pain and discomfort just became something I learned to tolerate and accept over the years. During my 3rd or 4th session I was blown away, something was triggered and it seemed like all that tension just melted away. I have never experienced anything like that before. And, with this kind of work it can often feel like progress is made with 2 steps forward and one step back but, on that day it felt like the work had leaped 20 steps forward. I have also experienced intense muscle release along my sacrum, I was completely unaware as to exactly how much muscle tension I had stored in that area until Dr. Eric began work there.
I have felt a change in the circulating of my vital energies just about in every session I've had with Dr Eric. Heat, electrical currents and tingling sensations seem to be the most common. Some of these sensations are more long lasting than others and there are 2 that come to mind. The first experience was during a session where it felt like a cord had been straightened and pulled from both the top of my head and the bottom of my spine. I left that session not only feeling 2 inches taller and straighter, but also with a sharpness and clarity like an "on" switch had been flicked on. The second occasion was when Dr. Eric had done some deep work on my arms and in particular my right forearm. For the following week I was so conscious and aware of this deep tingling sensation and a new/fresh energy flow running through my arm, which only made me more aware of all the years I'd been tolerating and living with pain stored in those muscles of my arm.
I had an experience where I became extremely emotional and cried uncontrollably throughout the session. This was a total surprise for me, it was like discovering a well of emotion that had been buried and then upon discovery it just burst open. I really did not expect it to happen. The emotions at first were ones of grief and sadness and apart from feeling a little embarrassed at the end of the session I felt I was able to let something go that had been weighing me down for a long time. My last session with Eric I experienced an immediate euphoria where I was somewhat "giddy " (for lack of a better word) and, if Dr. Eric had let me I probably would have talked his ear off for the next hour or two.
Absolutely Change! The initial aches and pains that brought me to Eric seem to have dissipated quite dramatically. I had problems in my knees and with my sciatica which I have not experienced since my second or third visit. However, there is still the pain and numbness in my right arm and fingers that still persist today but, I realize that this work I'm doing with Dr. Eric involves a process and is ongoing. I am committed to the process and so far the experience/journey has been nothing but positive and this positive-ness is being expressed and reflected in my day to day life, where I'm feeling more grounded and present in my body.
Dr. Eric and his work is a blessing. In a relatively short period of time, Dr. Eric has managed to change my mind and belief about the practice of chiropractic and about the healing the body. Thank you.

During my first few visits I felt very connected to myself and others. I would call this a transformation versus straight bodywork. At times I would break into laughter due to the release of energy. What a Great Feeling. My visits after have been just as powerful on the emotional and physical side as I feel that I am healing my body and mind with the guidance of Dr. Eric’s expertise!

I was very quickly learned why this practice is called Intuitive Soul Chiropractic. Dr. Eric Tan has an incredible ability to map (and release) tension throughout the body – helping me become aware that it was there. I love being able to channel my breath to where it is needed most – something I was not able to do before. Breathing deeply gives me more options and I am very grateful for that. I feel great.
