Russ is the most skilled massage therapist I’ve found in Chicago; and I’ve tried many. He’s strong and can do deep pressure/ deep tissue very well, and meticulous getting every muscle whereas most therapists tend to skip a lot of the important ones. Am really happy we found him.

I’ve been a regular client of Russell for over a year now, and I can confidently say they are the best massage therapist I’ve ever worked with. Their deep knowledge of the human body is truly impressive — every session feels tailored to address my specific needs, whether it’s relieving chronic tension or helping me recover from a long week. Russell has an incredible ability to pinpoint problem areas and use techniques that provide real, lasting relief.
Russell is a true professional who genuinely cares about their clients’ well-being. I’ve seen them help so many people, from athletes to office workers, with their skilled and intuitive approach. Their expertise, combined with a calming presence, makes every visit a fantastic experience. If you’re looking for a massage therapist who knows their craft inside and out, look no further — Russell is the real deal!

Visiting Russell!
Had an out of body experience and this massage was hands down the best massage I have ever had. I told a few friends right away and some booked the next day. Very good quality service and the prices are not high
Pro Tips: – Drink lots of water after the session – You may be quite sore the next day – 120 minutes are hot stones – I only did 90 minutes to try it out but next time I will definitely do that – You can use venmo or zelle to pay + tip – Very convenient and easy to call to book an appointment
HIGHLY recommend visiting Russell!

Overall the experience was an 11 out of 10
The best therapist I have ever had. No joke. I have had over a hundred massages in my life from all angles. I travel to different cities every week for work and I rely on massage to stay healthy. This massage from Russell blew me away. Not only was he good, he was able to find the knots in my muscles and relieved the pain in my lower back and shoulders. I never expected to find this level of expertise.
. I will be back before the end of the week.
Truly wonderful. I wouldn’t even be writing this review if it was just okay.
Hopefully this will help someone book an appointment and get the pain relief I am currently experiencing.
Thanks Russell

I have been going here for almost a year and a half religiously. I have pretty bad upper back and neck pain from a very old injury.
I have to say, I've been to many massage places in Chicago, from Trump Spa to physical therapy places and this place has been the best I've ever attended, hands down.
It's not a luxury spa but you don't pay luxury prices and yet it's cozy and comfortable. They have piped in music and heated tables. Great atmosphere: check!
But Russell is what makes this place amazing. He is the owner and he is so caring about the health & wellness of clients that come in. He also gives the best massages because he truly understands how the human body works, and what one needs to alleviate pain.
Since I have been going to see him, my pain has come down from a 10 out of 10 to a 5 or 6 out of 10. For someone in chronic pain that is exceptional.
And when I brought friends and family in, they have also had great experiences. The key is to be vocal about what you want or need. The therapists here want guidance and direction so they can give you what you need!
I highly recommend this place. It's the only place I ever go now for massage. Truly great for the money, amazing value and kind staff makes me give it a 5* all around!
