About
Deep tissue work is where the real change happens. When I'm working through a tight neck or releasing knots that've been holding someone's shoulders hostage for months, I can feel the moment the muscle finally lets go. That's the work I love, and it's what I've been honing for the last three years.
I'm based in Chicago's 60616 area, and I work both in my studio and mobile throughout the city and surrounding regions—I'll come to you within 150 miles if that works better with your schedule. What I've learned in my time as a massage therapist is that every body tells a different story. The knots a runner carries are different from the tension someone holds in their shoulders after eight hours at a desk. That's why I don't treat every session the same way.
I blend several techniques depending on what you need: deep tissue, Swedish, sports massage, acupressure, trigger point work, shiatsu, reflexology, and aromatherapy. I read your muscle composition as we go and adjust the pressure, pace, and focus based on what your body's asking for. Whether you're dealing with intense knots from training, recovering from an old injury, or you just need a solid hour of real relaxation, I can help.
My studio's warm, quiet, and set up right. Hot towels, good music, aromatherapy, free parking. I also offer fitness training if you want to build strength alongside the bodywork. The rates are honest—some of the best in Chicago for this quality of work—and I'm available 8 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. every single day.

Testimonials
Dre turned my whole week around. He's thorough and knows how to bring care into the work. From the moment he showed up, he was easy to talk to and genuinely present. On the professional side, he answers fast, gets appointments set up without any headaches, shows up on time, and keeps things straightforward. He's insightful and intuitive—really interesting to work with. I'm genuinely grateful.
Getting a massage from Dre was extraordinary. His kindness made me feel at ease right away. Once the work started, I knew I'd found my regular therapist. He was meticulous from top to bottom, never rushed, and clearly knows exactly what he's doing. I could write pages, but honestly, just contact him now—no second-guessing, no browsing other ads—reach out and experience what he does.

FAQ
How much does deep tissue massage cost in Chicago?
A 60-minute deep tissue session with me is $125 in my studio or $160 if you book mobile. Thirty-minute sessions are $85 studio or $120 mobile. I also work 90-minute and 120-minute blocks if you want deeper work—those run $175-$210 mobile, depending on length.
Do you offer mobile massage in Chicago?
Yes, I come to clients throughout Chicago and surrounding areas up to 150 miles out. Mobile rates start at $120 for 30 minutes and $160 for a full hour. I bring my massage table, hot towels, music, and aromatherapy, so the experience stays high-quality wherever you are.
What's the best massage for sports injuries?
Sports massage combined with trigger point work tends to give the fastest relief for injury recovery. I can also work with acupressure and deep tissue to address specific knots and restricted movement. I've worked with athletes recovering from training overload and old injuries, and the key is reading exactly where the tension is locked and releasing it methodically.
Can I book a same-day appointment in Chicago?
I'm available 8 a.m. to 11:30 p.m. every day, and I do take same-day bookings when I have availability. Reach out directly and let me know what works for you—studio or mobile, time of day, and session length.
Do you offer discounts or packages?
Yes. I offer discounts for prepaid bodywork packages, so if you know you'll want regular sessions, ask me about that option. It's a way to lock in savings and build consistency into your recovery plan.
What techniques do you use?
I work with deep tissue, Swedish, sports massage, acupressure, trigger point, shiatsu, reflexology, and aromatherapy. I blend them based on your muscle composition and what you need—no two sessions are exactly the same because no two bodies are the same.
Do you have a studio in Chicago?
Yes, I have a private studio in Chicago with massage tables, a private restroom, hot towels, music, aromatherapy, and free parking. It's a quiet space designed for real rest and focused bodywork.
