Currently serving West Town and Surrounding neighborhoods as The Full-Time Local Therapist for Deep Tissue, Prenatal, Myofascial and Sports/Performance Massage. Mike is amazing! I scheduled a 30 min express massage to try to release some built up tension in my back, and I walked out with MAJOR pep in my step.

I am definitely going to keep the self-care momentum moving and will be seeing a lot more of Mike! From start to finish, my experience was great! The website was easy to use to get information on services and prices, as well as easy to book my appointment. The massage space was really lovely and calming.
Services
Swedish Massage is a very relaxing and therapeutic style of bodywork. It combines oils or lotion with an array of strokes such as rolling, kneading, and percussion to help the body improve its circulation. The benefits of this type of bodywork are wide-ranging and include relief from aches and pains, decreased stress levels in the body, enhanced mental clarity, improved appearance, and greater flexibility.
Due to recent events, you may be asked to provide a medical release form from your Primary Care Provider if there are any serious health-related issues. Health History Forms are also available in the office ( please arrive a few minutes to fill out a form for our private records and to discuss any other concerns.)
I'm a big fan of balance, variety, and calm. I know what it's like to work hard and too much. I find my balance through giving and receiving massage therapy and subtle Reiki energy practice (which I feel to be a simple, yet a valuable form of guided meditation; peaceful and grounding). Make yourself comfortable and experience my therapeutic approach to easing your tense and overworked muscles.

I've been going to Mike for a couple of years semi-regularly and I am way overdue for a review. I get crazy knots in my back and shoulders and he works them out every time. He focuses on what areas you want treated if you don't want a full-body massage, finds the knots you didn't even know you had, gives great advice on self-care, and is always completely professional. The package deals he offers make it much more affordable to return regularly. Highly recommend you make an appointment!

Michael's the bomb! I've known him for a long time and have always enjoyed working with him. He's got some mad massage skills, is truly professional and is very thorough in his work. I highly recommend a visit!

Mike has a very calming, open energy about him. He is genuinely curious about what concerns or ailments may bring you in for a massage. He is definitely a healer, and found many points within my neck and shoulders that needed attention. Got a 60min massage, walked out with package of 3 for the future. Obviously, I will be back!

I did the 60 min "Clinical/Relaxation massage" and it was amazing. The office is very clean, comfortable and relaxing. Mike is very friendly and accommodating -- he asked what parts I would like to work on. He focused on those, and also found other tight spots I didn't even know about and really worked them out. I felt like I was on cloud 9 the rest of the day! I am looking forward to going back and trying out the other types of massages he offers.

This guy was rocking it out at the yelp event. Giving free chair massages- woooo! I really loved the chair massage he gave me. His touch was soothing but powerful. Thumbs up! He was very polite which instantly made me comfortable.

Mike was great! He squeezed me in on Saturday morning at the last minute. Very homey feel to his office and he went over my history to ensure I got the right type of massage. I would definitely recommend him to others.

I've seen Michael a few times now and he is great! I'm a bit of a "massage junkie" and he is now the first person I call. He is very conveniently located, easy to book with, and has been very effective in relieving chronic tightness in my traps and neck. As a bonus, he is a super nice guy!

I was super sad when my massage therapist moved away but now that I found Mike, I am no longer wallowing in sorrow. Mike is incredibly skilled--the bomb dot com. I suggest you try out a massage with him. You will not be disappointed.

I get really awful tight shoulders and low back muscles from my job, so I knew it was time to book a massage. A friend who's been a regular of Mike's recommended I check him out, and since his office is not too far from me, I decided to book an appointment.

The online scheduling is awesome, and allows you to browse open times that match up with your schedule. Mike's office is very conveniently located and easy to find right on Chicago Avenue. I had a morning appointment, and found lots of side street parking which was nice. When I showed up about 12 minutes before my appointment

I have been seeing Mike for many years and I really love this new space, it's comfortable, warm, and easy to get to by car or public transportation.

Mike does wonderful massage work. I have a number of issues with my back and Mike has helped relieve the pain and tension related.
