About
Twenty-one years of working with massage clients in Chicago has taught me that real relief comes from knowing exactly where tension hides and how to coax it out with steady, skilled hands.
I've built my practice on Swedish massage and deep tissue work, using high-quality warm organic oil so your skin and muscles actually feel cared for during the session. When you're on my table in my clean, contemporary studio, you're not rushing through a transaction. You're getting rid of the daily stress, the muscle aches, the weight of the day. That's the whole point.
I work with clients on sports recovery too. Whether you're dealing with tight shoulders from desk work or soreness from training, I know what each technique can do and when to use it.
My studio in Chicago's Rogers Park neighborhood (60626) has plenty of complimentary parking, and I keep my hours open every day from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. so you can book a session that actually fits your life. First-time clients, short-notice appointments, returning regulars—I make space for all of it. Call me to set up a time that works.

FAQ
How much does Swedish massage cost in Chicago?
A 60-minute Swedish massage in my Chicago studio is $140, and 90 minutes is $200. I also offer mobile massage services for clients throughout the Chicago area.
Does Franz offer same-day or short-notice appointments in Chicago?
Yes, I do accept short-notice appointments and make space for first-time clients who need to book quickly. Call to check availability and schedule a time that works for you.
What's the difference between Swedish and deep tissue massage?
Swedish massage uses long, flowing strokes to relax muscles and improve circulation, while deep tissue applies sustained pressure to release chronic tension in the muscle layers. I offer both techniques depending on what your body needs.
Does Franz do mobile massage in Chicago?
Yes, I provide both in-studio massage at my Rogers Park location and mobile massage services for clients throughout Chicago. Call to discuss mobile availability for your area.
What's the best massage for muscle soreness from sports?
Sports massage and deep tissue work are both effective for post-workout soreness because they target the deeper muscle layers where tightness builds up. I can assess your specific soreness and recommend the right approach during your session.
Is there parking at Franz's massage studio in Chicago?
Yes, there is plenty of complimentary parking available at my studio in Rogers Park, so you won't need to stress about finding a spot when you arrive for your appointment.
