About
Nineteen years of hands-on work with the human body teaches you things no textbook can. I've spent those years studying how muscles, joints, and connective tissue respond to injury, overuse, and the simple wear of living. What I've learned is this: the right pressure, applied with knowledge, can shift everything.
I'm a massage therapist and Chiropractic Physician based in Andersonville, Chicago, and I bring three credentials to every session. After finishing my Massage Therapy Certificate at the New Hampshire Institute of Therapeutic Arts in 2006, I went on to earn my Doctor of Chiropractic from National University of Health Sciences in Florida. I'm also a certified Professional Fitness Trainer, which means I understand not just where pain lives, but why your body created it in the first place.
I work with a range of pressure that spans from feather-light to extremely deep, depending on what your body needs that day. My techniques include:
- Deep tissue and trigger point work for locked-up muscles
- Sports massage and orthopedic work for athletes and active people
- Swedish, shiatsu, and myofascial release for broader relief
- Neuromuscular and lymphatic drainage for recovery and rebalancing
- Reiki and acupuncture to address what manual therapy alone cannot
My practice has always centered on serving the LGBT+ community with warmth and respect. I've worked with competitive powerlifters, professional ice hockey players, Olympic-level swimmers, ballet dancers, football and baseball players, cyclists, runners, and weekend warriors who just want to feel good again. I've also spent years helping people recover from injuries, manage chronic pain, and rebuild strength after setbacks.
You don't need to be an athlete to benefit from what I do. If you're living with back pain, neck tension, an old injury that flares up, or simply the accumulated stress of daily life, I can help. My studio in Chicago offers a clean, professional space with free parking, a heated massage table, and the kind of attention that makes you feel heard from the moment you call.

Testimonials
Booking a massage with Dr. Will will be among the best decisions you make. His knowledge spans an extraordinary range of physical and therapeutic techniques. The environment is safe, warm, and welcoming, and he shares his expertise in constructive, helpful ways. I cannot speak highly enough of his services and encourage you to book immediately.
I cannot speak highly enough of Will. He welcomes you and makes you feel at ease while discussing your health concerns and what you want to achieve. I'm aging with multiple knee surgeries, hip problems, and a noticeable limp, plus I tend to overdo things at the gym. Will works muscles, tendons, and ligaments with precision. The massage is intense and thorough, and he makes sure the pressure is right for you. This is the best therapeutic massage I've found in Chicago. I leave stronger, better balanced, and without pain.
Will is excellent. From the start, he makes you feel comfortable and it's obvious he takes his work seriously. Whether scheduling or during the appointment itself, you're working with a true professional. He adapts each session to your specific needs and gives careful attention to every issue you bring. This is without question the best massage I've ever had. I'm already looking forward to the next one.
Dr. Will helped me overcome significant back pain that developed after overextending myself with yard work in the spring. His integration of massage therapy and chiropractic care is intuitive, effective, and grounded in real knowledge and experience. He communicates clearly, stays fully present during sessions, and responds to what your body actually needs. The office is clean, professional, and comfortable from the moment you arrive. I've been back regularly and genuinely look forward to each visit because I know how restored I'll feel afterward.
After a bike accident left me with severe neck and back tension and muscle spasms, Dr. Will used therapeutic massage and chiropractic techniques to bring relief. Conventional medicine wanted to prescribe painkillers, but Will's approach worked instead. I was racing again within 30 days. His knowledge is deep, his results are substantial, and his warmth and humor made the process easier.
When my husband found Will through this directory, I'd been struggling with back and neck complaints I'd assumed were just part of aging and a leftover injury from years before. While my day-to-day function wasn't severely impacted, the discomfort was persistent and caused regular flare-ups that hurt. I expected a quick intake and then straight to the massage table, but that wasn't Will's style at all. He spent considerable time learning what I'd experienced, what I'd tried before, and where I wanted to go. I hadn't really thought about it until he asked. We discussed my lower back as the main concern, and he examined me closely, focusing on ligaments I'd injured there long ago. He set realistic expectations about what massage could accomplish and what I'd need to do on my part. After my first session, I learned I could also receive chiropractic treatment. I had a poor experience at another clinic afterward, but when I returned to Will for both services, the turnaround began. Will takes genuine care to understand your needs while being honest about what's achievable and what requires your own effort. I'd mistakenly blamed my hamstrings for my pain when it was actually my thigh muscles affecting my back. He's exceptionally attentive and committed to delivering the best possible care in a professional manner. After six weeks of weekly treatment, I've significantly reduced my back pain, increased my range of motion, and brought more ease to my life. I strongly recommend Will and his practice.
Will never misses a beat. He knows his craft and actually listens to you about which areas need work, then knows exactly how to address them. The pressure is great, he takes his time, and every session is exactly what you need.
Hemasseur's Take
Clients consistently praise Will's technical skill, deep knowledge of anatomy and technique, and his ability to listen carefully to identify the real source of pain—not just treat surface symptoms. Across reviews, people mention specific outcomes: rapid relief from acute injuries like bike accidents and muscle spasms, sustained reduction in chronic back pain, restored mobility and strength, and a return to athletic performance within weeks of starting treatment.
What sets Will apart is the combination of his professional credentials—massage therapy, chiropractic medicine, acupuncture, and fitness training—applied with genuine care and clear communication about realistic goals and the client's role in recovery.
