About Me

Eric Nyman – The Pain Specialist

Licensed Massage Therapist (L.M.T.)
Neuromuscular Therapist (N.M.T.)

Emergency Muscle Therapy
I’m a state licensed massage therapist specializing in treating clients with chronic and acute pain. I am certified in neuromuscular massage therapy, also known as trigger point therapy.

Education and Experience
I received my certification in massage therapy and neuromuscular therapy at Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy. I have 1150 hours of training and graduated in 1995. I have been helping relieve my clients of pain since 1996 in Rockford, Illinois.

Background
I have lived in Rockford since 1982 and graduated from East High School in 1989. I also graduated from Rockford College in 1993 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and a minor in Sociology. I lived in Colorado for a short period of time and returned back to Rockford.

My dad retired in 2008 after being a professor at Rockford College for over 25 years. My mom was a retired pastor.

Interests
I have a real passion for health and fitness and enjoy spending time helping clients with these areas.

I love the outdoors and get outside every chance I can. Some of my hobbies include weight lifting, disc golf, and bicycling (both road and mountain).  Recently added RC cars and trucks for entertainment.  I also have owned and love old muscle cars, and motorcycles.

My first 24 hour challenge, The National 24 Hour Challenge, I successfully completed over 250 miles. This event is one that I have looked forward to doing. It unfortunately has been canceled.  I really enjoy cycling in any form from road to mountain biking and even urban cycling enjoying the Rockford and surrounding community. I also wanted to welcome all of the IRONMAN of Rockford competitors and say congratulations to all 2700 of you in 2025.  Looking forward to Iron Man, 2026 and 2027 in Rockford, Illinois. 

I go to a chiropractor and get a massage from other massage therapists regularly to help me maintain my level of fitness and general health. 

I'm a long-term Rockford resident I've had family here for over 100 years. If you're new to Rockford, just  moved here,  if you found us on Zillow or something else and I can be of any help, please feel free to let me know. We're you here just visiting staying at the Embassy, suites, checking out, Nicholas conservatory or Anderson Japanese gardens. What sites are you seeing in this great city? 815 Did you get a chance to stop by Midway village or check out Tinker Swiss cottage? What about Burpee museum or the Discovery center?
