My massage was pretty good, but my therapist was a few minutes late and smelled as if he was out partying the night before and overslept and didn't get a chance to shower before coming into work. I was in the waiting room when he rushed into the office from the parking lot a few minutes after we were supposed to start at 1pm (not first thing in the morning), and he smelled like cigarettes and beer and BO. He was very nice but almost forgot to spend time on my lower back (like I specified at the beginning of the session) had I not reminded him before he asked me to turn over onto my back. Then the rest of the session felt rushed because he clearly forgot to factor in time for that.
Again, he was nice and professional and is good at what he does, but I can tell he was a bit affected from his activities the night before.
Massage is one of the best therapies to improve your health. It takes time, but your life will never be the same. Find a therapist that works for you and be consistent with your appointments. For me, twice a month was the magic number. I've been going to Elements in Palatine for many years. They are my other family and friends combined. I can't thank you enough!! 😊
Eldridge was amazing! The strongest, deepest tissue massage I have ever gotten. He made me feel very comfortable and listened to my concerns and where I wanted attention. Highly recommend
My massage with Madeline was wonderful. She is always good, relaxing and professional. She really puts in the effort to make sure attention is given to the areas I request.
The experience would have been better if the argument in the hallway was not going on for half of the session. Very unprofessional to handle business matters in a loud matter in a client area. Especially when you hear statements such as “you are about to cry and I am about to punch a wall.” I understand and respect that business matters need to be dealt with. I do not understand and respect why they need to be handled in an area where everyone, including clients, can hear. Very disrespectful to the employee that is being addressed.
The Masseuses are professional and friendly, they also take in feedback during sessions. Genuine skill at working through muscle tension and giving relief to sore muscles.
My massage with Eldridge was phenomenal. He made sure to check in regarding my current pain levels prior to treatment. The pressure was great and I felt heard when expressing areas that needed a bit less pressure. This therapist was very kind and did a great job relieving my pain. Highly recommend!
