About the Practitioner
Licensed since 2009 — 15+ years of clinical bodywork practice in New York City
Background
Eric Cherry has been practicing massage therapy professionally since 2009, building a practice grounded in clinical outcomes rather than relaxation theater. His work is focused on the mechanical and neurological dimensions of pain — how muscles, fascia, joints, and nerves interact to produce dysfunction and how targeted manual therapy can resolve it.
Over 15+ years, Eric has developed expertise in chronic pain management, sports and injury recovery, postural correction, and repetitive stress treatment. His approach is direct, outcome-oriented, and adapted to each patient's specific structural presentation.
He currently sees patients at two NYC locations: Cherish Body Wellness in Midtown Manhattan and Unwound Tattoo Studio in Brooklyn.
Approach
Sessions begin with a brief intake to understand your pain patterns, history, and goals. Work then focuses on the structures most relevant to your presenting issues — whether that's a specific injury site, referred pain pattern, postural imbalance, or area of chronic holding.
Techniques are drawn from deep tissue massage, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, and structural integration approaches, combined as clinically appropriate. No two sessions are identical because no two bodies present the same way.
Pressure, pace, and focus are adjusted throughout based on real-time tissue response. You'll leave with a clearer sense of what's happening in your body and why.
