Clinical Deep Tissue Massage

Clinical Massage is a method of massage therapy that combines and applies a range of techniques to achieve a specific outcome, whether that be a reduction in pain, increased range of movement, improved posture or relaxation. This type of massage is tailored to each client. Our Clinical Massage Therapist, Racie often incorporates other modalities such as myofascial release, trigger point work, and stretching to achieve maximum benefits.

Clinical Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD)‍

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle manual technique using four strokes created by Emil Vodder and further developed by Michael Földi. The goal of MLD is to move fluid caused by swelling into the lymphatic vessels. MLD stimulates the lymph vessels and causes increased lymph production, increased lymph angiomotoricity, and increased venous return. The treatment promotes relaxation and alleviates pain. The main job of the lymphatic system is to carry and dispose of waste. Without this technique, excessive waste contributes to excess body weight. MLD uses light pressure and rhythmic movements to stimulate the lymph flow. MLD works by releasing built-up toxins in your body and decreasing swelling and water retention. It also improves the appearance of cellulite and helps your body more naturally target fat deposits, which can be used for energy.

‍Sports Massage

A sports massage is a specialized type of massage therapy designed to enhance athletic performance, prevent injuries, and aid in recovery. Here are some key features:

It employs techniques tailored to the needs of athletes, such as deep tissue work, stretching, and trigger point therapy. These methods help to address muscle tension, increase flexibility, and improve circulation. Before an event, sports massage can help warm up the muscles, enhance performance, and reduce the risk of injury. After an event, it aids in recovery by reducing muscle soreness, flushing out metabolic waste products, and alleviating muscle fatigue. It can be used to help rehabilitate injuries by improving blood flow, reducing scar tissue, and restoring normal muscle function. Techniques and pressure are often adjusted based on the specific needs of the athlete, their sport, and their individual body.

"My daughter recently had a minor tailbone injury during one of her basketball practices and was experiencing pain on her lower back. We were recommended by Miss Racie, a physical therapist at Chicago Cryospa, to have her try Cryotherapy. After reading all of the benefits about cryotherapy, we were sold. The instant we got there my daughter and I were warmly greeted by Kendall and Mel and they thoroughly went over the whole process with us. It was our first time and my daughter was a little nervous as she didn't know what to expect. My daughter felt a little more relaxed after she found out that she can change into a comfy white robe and socks and was then taken into the chamber room. I was able to be with her the whole time which was cool. No pun intended ;) 3 minutes is the cryospa target time. We were told that you reap the full benefits by withstanding the extreme cold for the full 3 minutes - so my teen was determined. Mel kept her comfortable the whole time and talked to us about the process and my daughter enjoyed the pampering. She thought the raising chamber was fun and exciting and lo and behold, the 3 minutes was up. She did it! I'm writing this review a week after her first session and she had a 2nd session a couple days after - and it really helped her out! She is back to playing basketball and she is no longer complaining of any pain in her lower back. Thank you Chicago Cryospa for helping out my little athlete! Highly recommend! They also offer other services such as massage therapy and sound wave therapy so make sure you check them out! Awesome people and awesome services"!

"BEST MASSAGE I'VE EVER HAD! I came here through a friend's recommendation to see Racie for her healing capabilities. I was diagnosed with piriformis syndrome and had been experiencing pain in my left glute for close to 4 months straight. I let Racie work her magic on me in a 90 minute myofascial massage. It honestly was like a therapy session as I left feeling so much lighter and a week later my pain was completely gone. Racie healed me! I've had several massages with her since (including sound vibration therapy) and sing her praises to everyone. I've had a lot of massages in my life and have never felt loyal to one person or place until now. I will only go to Racie"!!

"Everyone at Chicago Cryospa are always so friendly and professional. I’m usually on my way home from the west loop and in need of recovery, and everyone does their absolute best to fit me in. This was especially true yesterday. The two ladies there are so incredibly friendly and helpful".

"Let me just start off by saying Racie is a true boss on the massage table! I had a knot so big in my shoulder she was calling it my little brother lol. Not only was she easy to communicate with she was very intuitive as to what it was I was experiencing and able to take the right approach to get things feeling better. I did deep tissue and boy oh boy does she have hands the Vikings would respect. Let me tell you it was a good hurt though if you know how that goes. Never felt as if she was doing more damage than good and when it came to certain areas of current or past injuries she kindly eased up upon request. The atmosphere itself was one I had never experienced either. Not only did they have a perfect temped bed/room, the music was relaxingly enjoyable, and they also had this cool lighting that made it look like you were lost in the universe. Truly great experience with Racie!!!! Highly recommend!! Now as far as the rest of the place goes it was nothing short of top notch customer service. Anne, Brittany, and Sampson were all very accommodating and definitely made me feel very comfortable. They have many services that I had never experienced before and at no point did I feel pressured or rushed during each one. Each of them took the time to answer any questions or concerns that I may have had, making feel like I was in good hands. My Chicago CryoSpa visit was definitely one I won’t forget and my little brother is basically gone now!! Thanks again Racie"

Brittany D

I brought my mom in to see Racie, and here's what she had to say: Racie is not just a masseur; she is a true healer. From the moment I walked in, she made me feel comfortable and at ease. Her knowledge of the body is unparalleled, and she was able to pinpoint areas of tension and discomfort with remarkable precision. What sets Racie apart is not only her technical proficiency but also her genuine care and compassion for her clients. Within minutes of our session, she was able to provide me with more relief than I had experienced from any doctor's visit. I even found myself becoming emotional over the instant relief I felt. "Racie's healing touch, combined with her comforting demeanor, creates an atmosphere of warmth and trust. She goes above and beyond to ensure that her clients are well taken care of and leaves no stone unturned in her quest to provide relief and relaxation. I cannot recommend Racie highly enough. If you're looking for a talented, knowledgeable, and compassionate masseur who truly cares about your well-being, look no further than Racie. You won't be disappointed"!

"Great experience at CryoSpa ! Sampson was great, the facility was clean, each treatment was personalized and I felt amazing. I’ll definitely be back"!

Ayat S

"Amazing Experience! Tried almost every service they provide and was extremely satisfied with everything! I felt very rejuvenated after leaving. Staff were also very kind, informative and attentive! will definitely be coming back! Thank you for a wonderful experience"!

Alyssa C

"Incredible! Whenever I use the services I always leave feeling amazing"!!!

Kate G

"Chicago CryoSpa has been my go to place for recovery since it opened in 2013. The staff could not be nicer and more informative. The best place for Cryo, sauna and massage ! And now, a neo bed! Highly recommend for all"!

Wow! I am very impressed. Adam is an excellent massage therapist! His understanding of muscles and body mechanics are really amazing. He found muscle aches that I didn't even know existed. His experience as a personal trainer makes him a very knowledgeable massage therapist. As a bodyworker myself, I find it difficult to find a therapist who understands the work my body requires. I can't wait for my next one!

Ann S

"I've been working in the health and wellness industry for 8 years, and I have finally found 2 treatments that have changed my life. The first is Lymphatic Enhancement Technology (LET) with Stephanie. During my session, I suddenly felt this huge state of relaxation come over me and it was such a pleasant feeling. I slept well, and the next day I had mental clarity and truly felt good. The next week I tried Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) with Stephanie. After my session, again, I felt a wonderful feeling that I have not felt in such a long time. It felt like whatever she did removed or flushed things out of my body that needed to be removed. Both of these sessions have had a tremendous effect on my mental health and I plan to continue my journey with both LET an MLD with Stephanie. I really hope this review can help someone else who may be struggling and need some additional wellness treatments in their lives".

Marianne K

An LET treatment with Stephanie is a master class in health and wellness. Her knowledge of the body and anatomy and especially, how critical the lymphatic system is to optimum health is fascinating—and life changing. I felt the changes in my body right away and the next day, couldn’t believe the change in my face! Thank you, Jim Karas for your expertise and taste and vision in giving us Stephanie and her LET treatments. From the incomparable Ann and the best staff in town to greet you, Chicago CryoSpa is a Chicago treasure!

Martha K

"I have been going to the Chicago Cryo Spa for many years, love the services and the people. Recently I started LET sessions with Stephanie, it was amazing! Not only is it one of the most relaxing experiences but also the health benefits are amazing. I highly recommend trying the services at Chicago Cryo spa, especially LET"!

Tim N

I had had a fantastic massage and my wife also had lymphatic drainage massage as well. We loved our experience and plan on coming back to visit the Chicago CryoSpa soon!

Sam B

I had my first experience at Cryospa yesterday, directly following a 95 mile bike ride. As an avid cyclist and weight lifter, I'm always looking for new ways to apologize to my poor joints and muscles, so the concept of putting myself in a subzero tank for three minutes was both intriguing and exciting. I have to say, after being "frozen", and having some compression therapy, I woke up the next morning and my normally tired and achy legs felt amazing. One of the benefits of the cold therapy is rapid muscle recovery.

Heather K

It was my first time trying a fascial stretch. My muscles felt sore before the stretch and after I felt like a whole new person. I left feeling balanced, less stressed, more flexible, and my muscle pain (because of this service) was corrected and ready to take on future workouts!

Yvette C

They supply everything and the infrared helped me feel brand new. I usually just get a massage when I feel sore, but this was a great option when I couldn't get in to see my therapist. Clean, modern and helpful staff. They have a rainfall shower with shower gel and simple amenities, it was nice!

Mike K

I can say that I have A LOT More energy for 24 hours after treatments. I also think that I am less sore the following day after a workout

Patrick J

I just had a 90-minute massage with Adam. Finally a trained and intuitive LMT. With a firm touch, he found every knot; instead of mindlessly punishing the muscles, he melted the knots and the pain with a building, purposeful-pressure, that was absolute perfection.

Heather W

The Cryo T-Shock is truly amazing! The T-Shock is the real deal! I did the full 5 treatments on my stomach and started to notice that my little pouch looked a bit tighter after my 3rd session... so I kept going.

Andrew H

Just received the greatest 60 min massage at Chicago CryoSpa! This was my first time there and the whole experience was incredible.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Sports Massage

Sports massage is a specialized form of massage therapy tailored to the needs of athletes and active individuals. It incorporates a variety of techniques, including deep tissue work, stretching, and trigger point therapy, to address specific muscle groups and areas of tension. The primary objectives of sports massage are to enhance performance, prevent injuries, and expedite recovery. It can be used both before an event to prepare muscles and improve flexibility, and after an event to alleviate muscle soreness and support the body’s recovery process. By addressing muscle imbalances and tightness, sports massage helps in injury prevention and can aid in the rehabilitation of existing injuries. Overall, it is designed to support optimal physical condition and performance for those engaged in regular physical activity.

What is Cupping?

Massage cupping is a therapeutic technique that integrates traditional cupping therapy with massage methods to enhance treatment outcomes. It involves using specialized cups that create a vacuum effect on the skin, either through suction pumps or heat. These cups can be placed on the skin and moved around, combining the lifting and stretching of underlying tissues with traditional massage strokes. This technique helps improve blood circulation, release muscle tension, and enhance overall relaxation. By drawing blood and lymphatic fluid to the surface, massage cupping can reduce pain, improve flexibility, and support the removal of toxins from the body. It is particularly effective for targeting specific areas of discomfort and can complement a regular massage therapy regimen.

What is the difference between deep tissue massage and lymphatic drainage massage?

Deep tissue massage and lymphatic drainage massage serve different purposes. Deep tissue massage targets deeper muscle layers with firm pressure to alleviate chronic pain, muscle stiffness, and improve flexibility. It’s ideal for addressing persistent muscle tension and injuries. On the other hand, lymphatic drainage massage uses gentle, rhythmic movements to stimulate the lymphatic system, reducing swelling, fluid retention, and supporting detoxification and immune function. It’s especially beneficial for fluid retention, post-surgical recovery, and enhancing overall detoxification. In summary, deep tissue massage focuses on muscle relief, while lymphatic drainage promotes lymph fluid flow and reduces edema.

What are the benefits of massage therapy?

Massage therapy offers a wide range of benefits for both physical and emotional well-being. It effectively reduces stress and anxiety by promoting relaxation and lowering cortisol levels. The therapy relieves muscle tension and chronic pain, enhances blood circulation, and boosts lymphatic drainage. It also improves flexibility, increases joint range of motion, and reduces stiffness. Regular massage can promote better sleep, improve mood, and alleviate symptoms of depression. Additionally, it supports immune function, aids in post-surgical recovery by reducing swelling and softening scar tissue, and enhances digestive health. For athletes, it reduces muscle soreness and speeds up recovery, while also improving skin tone and hydration. Overall, massage therapy provides valuable self-care, contributing to a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
