I moved to California from uk 2 years ago. My 16 yr old daughter suffered an injury to her foot that doctors finally diagnosed as CRPS(Complex Regional Pain Syndrome). This chronic condition was extremely painful. Her foot was a mixture of red/purple at times sat at a weird angle and was swollen, she suffered burning sensations, extreme pain & struggled to walk as foot was highly oversensitive. My daughter changed from being fun loving to staying in a lot. Doctors gave her a total of 5 nerve pain blocks in her spine which helped for a limited time with the pain. We were then advised she would need surgery to put in a Spinal cord Stimulator. She tried physical Therapy, nothing worked. As a last resort before surgery I looked for alternative treatment. I saw a Specialist in Structural Integration(Rolfer) a Dr Erik McWilliams. He has worked with Eastern/Chinese Medicine for over 16 years. My daughter received a Basic 10 series of treatments from Dr Erik. I was skeptical at first but after the 6th treatment my daughter saw a significant change in her symptoms. After the 10th treatment she could return to school and now she has regained full use of her motions in her foot. It is back normal color and pain is away. My daughter won’t be going back to running at the level she was at but can now walk, ride her bike and be a normal teenager again. She may need to go back for an occasional treatment once in a while. But this certainly changed her life for the better. This guy is truly amazing so happy we found him. :) Dr Erik recently moved premises to(across the road from the Gladstones restaurant on Pacific Coast Highway) 17383 Sunset Boulevard, Suite A110, Palisades C.A. 90272 His email link is:

I am a young professional just starting out so as you might suspect I don’t have a whole lot of disposable income. I recently took up handbalancing and love it but it started to really take a toll on my body. I was having severe tightness in my left shoulder blade area which wasn’t improving even with deep tissue massaging. I could feel the strain was coming from my muscles so knew a chiropractor wasn’t going to be able to help either. After describing my problem to a fellow cirque student, she recommend I try rolfing. She has severe scoliosis and found relief from the discomfort with Dr. Erik’s treatment. I already knew on my tight budget and no insurance, I was not going to be able to afford to do a 10 series. Dr. Erik was very understanding and willing to treat my specific problem. After 3 sessions I felt substantial relief. By the 5th session, my problem was gone. Even though I did not do it myself, I would highly recommend doing the 10 series. My left side is back to normal but now my right side is getting tight. Had I done the 10 series, I bet I wouldn’t be having this problem. But, Dr. Erik did teach me some stretching and life style changes that do help ease those problem areas so it is not getting too out of hand. I do plan on going back for a 10 series in the near future!
