Erin Bobo, B.S., L.M.T. is an Expert Myofascial Release Therapist with experience in the healing arts since the mid 1990’s. She knows first hand about the experience of "chasing your tail" to find relief from chronic pain, through her own very frustrating long journey with traditional approaches after a serious car accident in high school. Erin graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Lynchburg College and detoured from the plan to go to Vet School after having a profound healing experience from Chronic debilitating Back pain with the help of Myofascial Release. This experience ignited her passion for this therapy and led her to discover her gift with Therapeutic Body work. She has had continuous training by MFR founder, John Barnes, P.T. since 1998 completing and repeating all the required courses to be an Expert therapist. Erin continues to study with John Barnes and other therapists in order to always maintain growth and development of her craft.
Erin has had a thriving private practice since 1998 assisting people, horses and dogs and has found that working on both people and animals has been an important combination in her development as a therapist. Early on in her career, it was evident that animals played a very important role as teachers in developing her intuition and awareness which is the foundation that compliments her extensive education. Licensed as a Massage Therapist and Equine Sports Massage Therapist, Erin established her practice in Atlanta Georgia and then relocated back to her home town in 2003, opening her practice in PA to share her gifts with the people of the Chester County and surrounding communities. Her continued support of the Equine community has also led her to travel to various equestrian hubs in the United States as well as Ireland.
Erin primarily utilizes Myofascial Release and Cranial Sacral therapy in her sessions with people in order to address many musculoskeletal and fascial conditions. She focuses on compassionate guidance into deeper body awareness to achieve long-lasting pain relief and wellness. Her healing approach incorporates the goal of releasing pain patterns by creating an environment that offers the opportunity to develop a deeper relationship and understanding of what the body needs. She helps develop a sense of empowerment in the clients’ ability to take their healing into their own hands by being truly present in their healing process.
Erin is passionate about treating each client as a unique individual with a unique experience verses a symptom that needs to be ”fixed”.
Since one of her foundational beliefs is that movement and exercise have an important role in healing and maintaining health, Erin also incorporates movement therapy/postural therapy through her certification as an Egoscue Therapist. Egoscue plays an important role in re-educating muscles and focuses on getting the muscles to “wake up” and activate in the functional way they are intended to. In addition, Erin is an effective and passionate teacher on the subject of wellness, and offers insightful experiential educational opportunities for others through events and workshops.
Erin’s therapeutic approach has helped thousands of clients suffering from conditions such as back pain, shoulder injuries, headaches, TMJ dysfunction, migraines, tinitis, pelvic pain/dysfunction, frozen shoulder and plantar fasciitis as well as conditions resulting from car accidents, sports injuries, Lyme’s disease, poor posture and chronic pain conditions such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia and fascial pain syndrome.
Healing through her own experience with chronic pain through the technique of MFR and growing and learning from many of life’s “big transformations” has provided the greatest tools in her “tool box” allowing her to empower, educate and empathize with each client that allows her the opportunity to assist them in their healing process.
