Mindful Motion LA

I have improved so much since I started working with Mindful Motion. It's unbelievable and so wonderful that my 100% pain from 15+ years of injuries is down to maybe 5% now, and that is only when I over strain myself. When I started working with Erick, I was a mess, a torn calf that didn't heal well, nerve damage from herniated discs & neck pain from a car accident. The pain reduction has been immense, but there are so many more rewards that I have reaped. For example, after years and years of terrible sleep, I am finally getting enough deep sleep. I am much stronger, and this has certainly empowered me to get even stronger. I am now more knowledgeable of how hard my body works to keep going, and I only consume what's beneficial to efficiently fuel my body. I have never had a good relationship with my body, and even my therapist tried to help me, but only now have I begun to appreciate and be grateful for my body. I wish I had known years ago about Mindful Motion, but now that I do, I am so grateful, and I can't wait to get even stronger. If you have injuries that are weighing you down and causing you pain, please know that a pain-free existence can be your reality too!

I am so glad that I found Erick at Mindful Motion. He has given me the confidence to commit to a workout routine for the first time EVER. Erick’s approach is nonjudgemental, accessible and effective. If you are looking for a program that works and is tailored to your specific history, you should definitely check out Mindful Motion.

I would give Mindful Motion 10 stars if I could. I want to give Erik a special thank you for his effort and attention to detail in helping with my back issues. After a scary and uncertain time in my life where I involved in a car accident, I experienced aches and discomfort to my back for a long time. I contacted Mindful Motion and with Erik’s help, I’ve gotten to the point where my back is a none issue, allowing me to live pain free and enjoy working out again. I would recommend to anyone.

Erik at mindful motion is fantastic. I’ve had multiple really bizarre injuries that would not get better, and he has been the only one to give me relief. Erik is super nice, respectful, and clearly gives it his all to help you. It’s obvious that he’s constantly thinking of new strategies and exercise to help your injury even when he’s off duty. Since mine was so unusual, he worked like a detective to figure out was wrong. Every week he would have new ideas on how to help my weird ankle, and it wasn’t long before it got better. If you’re looking for results and fast, Erik is a great guy to go to.

I had broken my collarbone when I was a kid and continued to have issues with confidence revolving my body and working out, and I am only 29 as I write this. Finding the right practice and person is only one step of recovery, as educating and understanding methods yourself is part of the journey. Mindful Motion has been just that, Erick is so understanding and a great mentor in finding things that work for me, slowing things down and putting it in terms that I can understand. I now am working out on the regular band have continued to impress myself, and it all started with Mindful Motion

There aren't enough stars (5 doesn't come close) or words to fully express what I've gained from my years training with Erick at Mindful Motion. When I started with Erick nearly 6 years ago I was having slight issues with arthritis and had torn my meniscus. Over the years he has kept these issues in check and helped me avoid further complications as I got older. When I was sure I would need a knee replacement, I opted to trust Erick and his method and today I am walking nearly pain free. He has also treated other areas where my arthritis has made movement difficult, like my hands and feet, making a huge difference in my quality of life. Erick's method is amazing and provides incredible benefits but Erick, the person, is what has made the real difference. He is knowledgeable and patient. And he listens. You think you're having a casual conversation about your weekend but Erick is gathering information on anything that might relate to your overall health and wellbeing. It's full service.

I have been working out with Erick for a little over 2 yrs now. I originally started working out with Erick to help with my shoulder injury and to gain strength. I'm so pleased that Erick helped me achieve my goals. (I also lost 25 lbs!!) I can't say enough good things about Mindful Motion LA. He has also helped me gain strength in my flat feet and my trigger finger!! He is surprising.If you're looking for help with a sore spot, losing weight, strengthening muscles or just getting fit, set up an appointment. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Erick, if you're reading this!!!

This review is long overdue since I've been working out with Erick for almost over 3 years. I never thought I'd be able to physically do the things I'm able to do today but Erick believed in me and helped me with my physical journey. Not only is he a great personal trainer, he has been helping me with my shoulder pain using his vast knowledge and technique and I have genuinely started to see positive changes. If you need a knowledgeable and experienced personal trainer or needing help with pain management, give Erick a chance. You won’t be disappointed!!!

I’ve been seeing Erick for quite sometime now, and he has helped me out tremendously with my back, shoulder, and foot problems. He has also guided me in improving the contractile capabilities of my muscular system which has allowed me to stay pain free while performing the many activities I pursue such as running, golfing, road biking, surfing, and playing with my children on a daily basis. All these stresses I put on my body require a steadfast muscular system which Erick has helped me maintain, as well build. I highly recommend Erick for any of your personal training needs, or just wanting to live a pain-free lifestyle. There aren’t many personal trainer’s as educated, and understanding of what people need to build a strong, and healthy muscular system.

I highly recommend Erick at Mindful Motion LA.... In a short period of time Erick has helped me manage and lessen my back/nerve pain that came from lumbar stenosis and bi lateral hip replacements. I have much therapy and exercise ahead of me but working with Erick I am now optimistic and feeling better. After each session i feel stronger. His training methods, and knowledge of the body (mentally and physically) has given me hope for a better quality of life. Call Erick, if like myself you are sick of being in pain.
