About
Strong hands that know exactly how to release tension without leaving you sore the next day — that's the balance I've spent seven years perfecting. Whether you're carrying stress in your shoulders and neck, recovering from a workout, or dealing with lower back pain that won't quit, I know how to find those knots and work them out with pressure that feels firm yet gentle at the same time.
I'm a licensed massage therapist in Illinois (#227.023723), and I bring more than just LMT credentials to the table. As a fitness trainer, I understand how muscles develop, where they hold tension, and what recovery actually feels like. I work with a chiropractor doing clinical and medical massage, so I'm comfortable with both therapeutic depth and the kind of relaxation that lets your whole body finally let go.
My studio is in Boystown at W Roscoe and N Halsted — a private, professional space with a heated massage table, hot towel service, and an atmosphere that's quiet and calm. I'm also available for mobile massage throughout Chicago and the surrounding areas. I offer deep tissue, Swedish, sports massage, Thai stretching, myofascial release, and aromatherapy work. Whatever brings you in, my goal is simple: give you the best massage you've ever had.
I welcome clients of all backgrounds, body types, and ages. If you're part of the LGBT community, you'll find a genuine ally here. Text me to book — I'm open 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. every day.

Testimonials
I've had hundreds of massages over the years, and this was among the very best. The pressure was excellent, and the touch was incredibly gentle. 10 out of 10.
Albie's professional technique is outstanding. I haven't felt this relaxed in years. He fit me in on short notice and delivered one of the best massages I've ever experienced. Throughout the session, he checked in on how the pressure felt and made sure I stayed comfortable. He's genuinely friendly, and the massage room and table were both really welcoming. I'll definitely be back.
This ranks among the best massages I've ever had. Albie used precisely the right amount of pressure to release the knots without causing pain or soreness the next day. I've had other massages that got the job done but left me feeling like I'd been hit by a truck. With Albie, I felt better right away and even looser the following day with no lingering discomfort.
I left feeling like I was floating. My job has me hunched over a desk, and I also push my body hard at the gym. My shoulders, neck, and lower back have been incredibly sore and tight for a while, and plane and car travel made it worse. In one 90-minute session, Albie relieved all that tension. He went deep but stayed gentle and soothing the whole time. He's a really approachable person, the massage room is quiet and private, and I appreciated that it's a proper studio setup. I've already booked my next appointment.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients consistently praise Albie for delivering deep relief without causing post-massage soreness, a combination that sets him apart from other massage therapists in Chicago. His particular strength lies in addressing shoulder, neck, and lower back tension while maintaining a gentle, floating quality that leaves people relaxed rather than beat up. The private, professional studio setup, his friendly demeanor, and his willingness to adjust pressure on the fly earn repeated praise and same-day bookings.
