Services
Why should your next massage be a CBD Massage? Our CBD Massages use the highest quality massage oil that is infused with 250mg of THC Free Hemp derived CBD (per 8 oz bottle). Our therapists uses cbd oil to apply to your full body massage or to a specific area of focus. The cbd is then absorbed into your skin to provide its many therapeutic effects.
When one thinks of relaxation a Swedish massage quickly comes to mind, after all the goal of a Swedish massage is to relax the whole body. Swedish massage is performed with long gliding strokes up and down the back repeated throughout the entire body from head to toe. Swedish Massage is deeply relaxing and enjoyable.
Deep tissue massage addresses chronic aches and pain in contracted areas such as a stiff neck and upper back, low back pain, leg muscle tightness, and sore shoulders. At the beginning of the massage, lighter pressure is generally applied to warm up and prep the muscles. Specific techniques are then applied focusing pressure on deep layers of the muscles, tendons, and fascia (the connective tissue surrounding muscles).
Our Sports Massage consists of deep pressure applied with elbows and thumbs or may also be applied with the broad plane of the feet "Ashiatsu style" to target muscle tension, constrictions in the tissue and to target those pesky "knots" that limit the range of motion of the athlete.
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Facilitation or "PNF stretching" for short, is an advanced form of flexibility training that we incorporate into our Sports Massage sessions.PNF involves stretching and contracting the muscle group that is being focused on. The adductor muscles, which are commonly involved in knee pain, and lower extremity Injuries, especially in people who sit a great deal.

You haven't truly experienced a DEEP tissue massage if you've never had an Ashiatsu Massage!. The first thing you may notice about Ashiatsu pronounced (ASHI-AT-SU) that is different from any other massage, is the two parallel bars that are mounted on the ceiling over the massage table.
The therapist uses these bars to balance herself while she uses her feet to perform long and deep strokes assisted by varying her pressure to your personal preference.In an Ashiatsu Massage the therapist uses the broad plane of her feet to free the body of any constrictions in the tissues. This modality is one of a kind, hard to find and we are proud to offer it as a specialty service at Massage Evolved.

Super disappointed to book a massage and reiki appointment online, pay for it, and the day of, find that they did not have my appointment on their books at all. All I received was, "sorry, we can book you for another day". Not acceptable. Worst first impression. They certainly lost my business, but honestly, I don't think they care.

This was my second massage this month with Monica and it was magical. She not only cared for me physically with a phenomenal and professional massage, she also blessed me spiritually. She spoke healing and light to me. Shared a perspective on life that I never imagined. She left me with a message that I’ll hold in my heart forever. Thank you Monica!!!!! You’re a shining star a dark sky! I’ll be back. Love and light my friend!

Ariel was one of the most skilled massage therapists I have had. I have had massages all over the world, from spas in Thailand & Hong Kong to physical therapy massages in New York & Atlanta. My standards are high and I wasn't expecting much from a little massage parlor next to the train station. The building is dated so I was kind of worried at first. Once inside Massage Evolved, it is very nicely decorated. The staff were nice, attentive, professional, and inclusive. I got a 1 hour full body massage. Ariel listened to my request to focus on my neck and exceeded expectations. She was firm and got

We got the couples massage, and it was a great experience. The ambiance was so relaxing and sensual in the spa. The massage felt amazing, and the masseuses were very kind, professional, and clearly skilled in their profession. I would recommend this spa to anyone in Chicago, and I would visit again.

Not sure what the story is with Steve F but I'm sure there is one. There is a reason ME is fast becoming the premier spa in Chicago!!

This place is sketchy. They never have the same therapists, and have trouble booking & keeping appointments. They never give the full time allotted (typically ending a full 15-20 minutes before the scheduled time), and the CBD massage does *not* use CBD products as advertised: again, the product changes every time. There is no consistency! Do not trust the online system to state who you will get as a therapist, either! As a client, you have zero control of this experience, which is not a good place to be when you're paying this much. For a run of the mill massage this place is way too expensive

Came here for a couples' massage and had a wonderful experience. The lobby was so serene that I felt calmed from the moment I walked in. I haven't gotten a massage before, and they were great at explaining everything and tailoring the massage to my trouble areas. I can't wait to return once I move back to Chicago!

It was my boyfriend and I's first time, and the whole experience was great (especially during COVID). They give you a brief questionnaire beforehand about what you're looking for in a massage/any other issues you may have. Very clean and calming atmosphere, kind staff, relaxing room. We got a couples massage and felt super comfortable the entire time. Masks on the entire time for everyone! Both therapists were very accommodating and thoughtful (Gabby & Ruby). We will definitely be back!

If you want a real deep tissue massage book Justin! He is seriously the best. I’ve tried to get massages everywhere in the city but I’ve never had a better one than with Justin! He actually uses firm pressure and I leave feeling actually rejuvenated rather than something that feels like a Swedish massage. Highly highly recommend!!

I did the 90 minute Combo Massage & Energy Healing with Ruby... and.. OH! EM! GEE! I feel amazing (and that's an understatement)!!
She was wonderful, explained everything 1st, told me to let her know if I needed pressure adjustment (more or less)... don't want to give too much away because it's something you truly have to experience for yourself.
But I will say the whole atmosphere was peaceful, inviting, warm... I felt relaxed just being in front desk area and even more so when Ruby was done.
If you want your body and mind feeling tip-top, please go see Ruby! She definitely

My husband booked couples massages for us here and we had a great time!
To be honest, the entrance to the building is a bit wierd. A little creepy or eerie. But once you walk into the actual spa, it feels like an oasis! The waiting area and reception area is so lovely. I love all the decor and finishing touches of this area. The twinkle lights, the diffuser, the framed images--all of it is so well done. They also had mimosas waiting for us while we waited, PERFECT!
We arrived at around 1:45/1:50 for our 2pm appointments. They started on us a bit late, the couple before us were chatting with
