Lincoln Square Massage

I’ve had four 90 minute massages (it’s the only way to go) with Daniel, and I’m convinced he’s a magician! I’m a hairdresser with upper body pain, and have seen many massage therapists in the recent past, but NONE have come even close to the relief I’ve felt after a session with Daniel. He’s incredibly knowledgeable, and has the ability to incorporate many types of massage techniques into a session. Even better? He’s got morning appointments on Mondays and if you go before 2pm, they’ll give you a 20% off discount. The space is clean but not too sterile, the staff is friendly, and you can book online.
I can’t say enough about Daniel and I’ll be coming back again and again. Thank you!

I get massages on the regular as a part of my chiro routine, so I /​know/​a good massage. To start my boyfriend’s birthday weekend off right, I took him here this morning for a couples massage, and we both experienced EXCELLENT massages! Becky and Laura were spectacular, attending to our trouble spots with expert hands. We left relaxed and happy. (Thanks, ladies!)
I highly recommend Lincoln Square Massage if you’re looking for professional, knowledgeable, and friendly service.

Excellent customer service. Inviting and casual atmosphere.
Great quality massage!

Had my first massage with Roseann and had a lovely gentle relaxing massage. She recommended Kirsten for manual lymphatic drainage to deal with a painful issue I’ve had for a long time. Kirsten is professional, compassionate, highly trained and very thorough in her approach. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend that anyone come here. They really care about the people they see, and the atmosphere is warm and inviting. I’m happy I found them!

Love this place. I have been getting massages from Laura (on & off) for a couple yrs now and each time I always feel amazing after and look forward to the next time. I chose her based on her profile on their website, so they make it easy to find a masseuse that will fit with what you are looking. She’s awesome at deep tissue massages!

Loved it!!! I received a gift card and this was my first time there. I was greeted at the door and had a warm welcome. The place was clean and cozy. The ambiance was so peaceful. After my massage I felt like a new person! Roseann was friendly and she worked magic! The best part is they are fairly priced so I will be back!

My wife and I went in for a couples massage. The two therapists explained how it works, showed us where the bathrooms are, offered us water and asked a series of questions to guide them.
We both really liked our massage. The therapists worked very hard and very skillfully. It was very obvious that they were well-​trained and experienced. I was a bit sore afterward for a couple of days.
I had the best sleep in years that night.
We are definitely going back soon.

Finally, a deep tissue massage in Chicago that i loved!
This place is all about the massage — no steam room, etc.
David was great. He’s young, but a professional with a confident and well-​trained approach.
My 90 min deep tissue was $ 88 (first timer discount). I mean, come on — how can you beat that?

Ellen is the queen! Go here, now!
The atmosphere is inviting, you take your shoes off at the door, relaxing music is playing, you fill out a bit of paperwork expressing any concerns or areas to focus on — and you are taken back to another cozy and inviting room. You undress to your level of comfort.
Ellen is the real deal, an LMT, and she’s one of those therapists who has a true understanding of the body. She also incorporates deep breathing into the work, stretches, and pressure points. Her massage is an intuitive combination of Eastern and Western techniques. She begins with slow myofascial work. Listening to the body’s response she then follows the «body maps» of Eastern modalities, reducing congestion to improve the flow of chi (life force energy).
And she KNOWS what she is doing. Best massage of my life. I will return to her… Monthly.

I’ve always been picky about massages, and now that I’m in massage school myself I’m even more so — I can get mediocre massages from my classmates! Fortunately, I had a good experience here.
I’d seen the marquee walking to and from the grocery store, and I thought I’d try them out since they were right in my neighborhood. Upon arriving, I was impressed with how lovely and hospitable the space was; it wasn’t fancy, but everything was beautifully decorated and there were comfortable chairs here and there. My therapist, Sally, was pleasant and she did a good job working the semi-​permanent knots out of my shoulders.
I feel slightly petty not giving them a five-​star review, but I did have one complaint. At the end of the session, I felt hurried out the door. Sally wasn’t unfriendly, but there wasn’t any real closure or acknowledgement, just a quick «Thanks, see you later, bye.» Believe me, I understand that you don’t want clients hanging around and being chatty after a session, and I know what it’s like to be busy and in a hurry, but it struck an off note that felt at odds with the welcoming atmosphere of the place. Still, there’s a good chance I’ll come back and try another therapist.

I had my first appointment at LSM today and it was wonderful. Roseann was my masseuse and she was fabulous. I told her about the areas of my back which were bothering me and she found every spot which hurt and made it feel so much better.
Roseann was quiet during my massage (which was much appreciated), strong and worked out all of the knots in my back, and I even enjoyed the music which she had on in the background.
Every part of my experience was great — I will definitely be a repeat customer!

Laura was my favorite and also seemed to be the favorite of others, so she books up quickly.
I had to make a last minute appointment and went with Kirsten after quickly reading her bio. She was fantastic! She is small in stature but gave a great, thorough massage. After the massage, Kirsten was kind enough to teach me some exercises to help with my neck issues.
She gets back into the country in mid-​January. Yay, can’t wait to go back to see Kirsten!

I booked a couples massage with my husband for our anniversary and we both agreed that this was the best massage we’ve had in years!
Facilities:
If you are looking for frilly facilities with fancy showers and locker rooms, this may not meet your expectations. Don’t get me wrong, I love a fancy steam shower, but who needs fancy showers when the massage therapists are so awesome?! Still the facilities are simple, pleasant and relaxing, very much like you’re in your own home. I found that I didn’t even miss all the other amenities!
Massage:
Erin and Sally are the best! We went with a basic Swedish massage. I caught myself falling asleep three times during our session! Erin and Sally routinely checked in on their pressure levels (which was perfect for me). Afterwards, my husband and I felt so light and very relaxed.
Price/​Scheduling:
You can’t beat the price! Since we were new clients, we received 20% off. Our total for a couples massage was less than $ 150 for an hour! Many of the other places I checked were around $ 200. Definitely appreciated the savings.
Per usual, I waited until the last minute to book our massages. I was so happy that when calling on a Monday, there was availability for Thursday of the same week and at the time I wanted. The scheduling process was smooth. For couples, you have to book over the phone, otherwise you can do it all online.
Overall, I highly recommend this place!

Really amazing place! Laura was very nice and attentive to my problems. A week after turning down a much needed massage I ended up pulling the tendons in my right hand. I was in severe pain and called her. She matched me with Daniel an expert in lymphatic drainage. 2 massages in and my hand looks and feels better, within 1 week. Doctors say could take 6 – 10 weeks but with a lot of TLC I got at lincoln square massage I’m beginning to see the benefits, drug free! It’s not a miracle but pretty darn close! Thank you Daniel and Laura!

Signed up for a last minute couples massage. Becky and Sally were able to accommodate us the same day. Payment is taken care of online prior to the appointment which I found useful.
Conveniently located, the place is clean, the décor and music is calming. Felt pricing for the couples massage was more than reasonable. Looked at a few places for couples massage, went with LSM in part because of their proximity and their pricing but also because this is not a spa or salon, they just specialize in massage. For me it has been hit or miss in getting a good massage therapist when booking a massage at a spa. Since that is all LSM does, trusted that any therapists here should be good.
Hubby and I were not disappointed. I was sore from exercising and although it hurt when my therapist did a little work on the sore areas, I felt better the next day. Hubby stated his massage was the best he’s ever had. They were professional and effective. Asked about what needed work and adjusting pressure, cannot ask for anything more.
We plan to come here once a month!

It has been a god-​send finding Lincoln Square Massage. I tried a lot of different individual therapists and businesses for my own self-​care, and none have compared to the skill and service I have received from the therapists at LS Massage. As a chiropractor, it has definitely made a difference in my ability to take care of my patients. In fact, I have noticed a real difference in my patients who I have sent to LS Massage as well. They respond a lot better to my care, when they are getting soft tissue work too. The location is very nice, and it is really easy to schedule massages.

Had a fantastic massage from David. Very attentive to where my tension was. Perfect amount of pressure. I highly recommend him and will be back in the future.

I’m so lucky I have this place within walking distance. I’ve been going to Erin for about 4 years now; I’d never been to a massage therapist before and she has set the bar high. Friendly and professional, and nice to talk with during the massage it without feeling awkward or anything. Some days I just want to fall asleep while she’s working on me and I think she senses that too!
I wondered once if I really felt that much of a difference afterward, or if it just felt nice in the moment. Recently I visited with some upper back tension and I felt completely different afterward. The right, tense feeling I’d been having the week prior was completely gone.
LSM has expanded some in the past couple years, with their biggest expansion just recently; this added several new LMT’s and an additional space upstairs. They’re open seven days per week with a wide range if hours so it’s possible to get there before or after work. Lastly, they also added an online schedule option that has made it super easy for me to make an appointment whenever I remember it, which generally seems to be outside business hours. I can’t recommend LSM highly enough; I wouldn’t go anywhere else!

I’ve been going to Lincoln Square Massage for almost two years now, and I’ve seen many of the therapists over the course of three marathons and a pregnancy. They’ve taken great care of me every step of the way.
I’ve had a chance to receive massages from Laura, David, Heather, Lilly, and Becky — all top-​notch. They’ve listened to my issues and helped me with everything from tight IT bands to a tense upper back. They all seem to have the knack for finding those spots I didn’t even realize were a problem and working through them.
My husband gets massages here as well, and he’s also been pleased.
Recently, I had a massage with Christine, and that is the one therapist I would not return to. The massage was fine, but I didn’t appreciate her sharing her opinions about my pregnancy and child-​rearing.
However, I have been so pleased with LSM generally that one bad massage out of many is not even close to enough for me to give fewer than five stars.

Sarah was outstanding. 90 minutes, absolutely worth it. Desperately needed a massage and got what I needed. I’ll be back.
