Massage Therapy Services

Ms. Chrysty's massage therapy services are available by appointment throughout the greater Chicagoland area and it's suburbs.

Swedish Massage
One of the most common systems of massage, Swedish Massage is designed to relax and energize the body.  The therapy consists of effleurage, friction, petrissage, stripping and percussive techniques – all designed to manipulate the soft tissues of the body.

Deep Tissue Massage
Often mistaken for “deep pressure”, Deep Tissue Massage actually targets the sub-layers of muscle and fascia.  It is typically used to address specific, sometimes chronic and/or painful conditions.  DTM helps with chronic muscular pain and injury rehabilitation and realignment of the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue.  Direct deep pressure or friction is applied against the grain of the muscle.

Sports Massage
Sports Massage is designed to enhance athletic performance and speed recovery time.  Main aspects of Sports Massage are pre-event massage, post-event massage, interval massage and injury treatment.

Pregnancy/Prenatal Massage
This is a specific massage designed with techniques to reduce pregnancy discomfort and to enhance the emotional health of the mother and fetus.  Referrals from your physician may be required prior to therapy session.

Geriatric Massage
A gentle form of massage designed to address aspects of aging and its associated diseases.  Therapy sessions may be limited to a shorter period of time.

Chair Massage
10-15 minutes of seated massage in a specially designed massage chair.  Chair Massage targets upper back, shoulders, neck and arms.

Reiki
An energy healing system, Reiki is done with the hands slightly upon, or just above, the body’s energy centers.  Healing occurs with the balancing of the body, mind and spirit using universal life energy.

Thai Massage
Thai Massage is provided to a fully-clothed client on a floor mat.  Compression, stretching and range of motion techniques are used as well as stimulation of the body’s “sen” or energy lines.

Aromatherapy
The use of pure essential oils, either singly or as a blend, in conjunction with a Swedish Massage.  While Ms. Chrysty is not an aromatherapist, all of the essential oils are pure and purchased from a trusted, reputable source.  The oils are used for specific issues such as stress, muscular aches/pain, PMS and more.
