About
Twenty years of hands-on work with Chicago clients has taught me what real relief feels like. I've built my practice around one simple truth: when you're in pain or stressed out, you need someone who understands your body and knows exactly how to work with it.
I'm Kevin, The Body Mechanic, and I've spent two decades right here in Chicago's 60660 neighborhood, developing the kind of skill and confidence that comes only from thousands of hours of bodywork. I specialize in deep tissue and sports massage with stretching, but I'm equally comfortable offering lighter, more relaxing modalities depending on what your body needs that day. Tell me where it hurts, and I'll meet you there.
My studio is a place I've carefully designed to feel calm and restorative. The walls are surrounded by my backlit textile artworks and soft, warm lighting. The massage table is extra padded for comfort. Everything about the space is meant to help you relax the moment you walk in.
I work with everyone — the gay community and beyond. LGBTQ clients, straight clients, athletes, desk workers, people recovering from injury. If you're stressed or in pain and need a strong, compassionate approach, I'm here to help. I offer both in-studio sessions and mobile massage serving Chicago and surrounding areas within a five-mile radius. Let's talk about what you need, and I'll show you why so many clients keep coming back.
Techniques
Testimonials
My first session with Kevin was fantastic. We talked on the phone beforehand to sort out scheduling and what I needed worked on. When I got there, he welcomed me warmly. The massage itself was incredible—his strokes were spot-on and he was very careful to work symmetrically and methodically. He's genuinely easy to talk to and we ended up having some deep conversations. We basically clicked right away. He's a great person and massages like a true professional. I'm definitely coming back.
Kevin's got real strength in his hands and a massage style that's hard to beat. The bodywork was absolutely worth the investment.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients praise Kevin's strong hands, precise technique, and ability to deliver noticeable relief during deep tissue work. Beyond the bodywork itself, they highlight his warm, personable nature and genuine conversational skills—qualities that make the experience feel personal and caring rather than clinical.
Across sessions, Kevin stands out for his methodical approach, symmetric pressure, and willingness to listen and adjust to what each client needs.

Deep tissue massage in my Chicago studio runs $150 for 60 minutes or $220 for 90 minutes. If you'd rather I come to you, mobile deep tissue is $180 for an hour or $250 for ninety minutes, and I serve the surrounding area within five miles.
Does Kevin offer mobile massage in Chicago?
Yes, I offer mobile massage throughout Chicago and surrounding areas up to five miles from the 60660 zip code. I bring candles, music, and the same focused therapeutic work you'd get in my studio.
What massage is best for sports injuries?
Sports massage combined with stretching is what I specialize in, and it's highly effective for injury recovery and athletic performance. I assess where you're tight or damaged and use deep tissue techniques to release tension and restore mobility.
Can I get a massage same-day in Chicago?
Availability varies day to day, so your best bet is to call or text and ask. I do my best to work with clients on short notice, especially if you're in pain.

Yes, I offer body scrubs as an add-on service alongside massage. I also provide body trimming and nutrition consulting if that interests you.
What payment methods do you accept?
I accept cash, all major credit cards, Apple Pay, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Square Cash, and QuickPay, so you can pay however works best for you.
What makes your massage approach different?
Twenty years in Chicago has given me the hands, confidence, and intuition to read what your body actually needs. I blend deep tissue, sports massage, Swedish, and acupressure depending on your goals — and I listen. Strong, compassionate work is what I do.
Do you offer discounts for regular clients?
Absolutely. Ask me about discounts on prepaid bodywork packages. The more committed you are to your recovery, the better the rate I can offer.
