I went to the Althea Day Spa in Buffalo Grove several times now and I highly recommend Joy and Sophia as excellent masseuses who are extremely skilled in great massage techniques. The massages you will receive will leave you pain free and every couple of weeks wanting to return for more!! My experience there is so great and I will definitely recommend them and I will be back for more in the near future. At least 2 per month is so good to keep the aches and pains we have in our bodies.

Tina is the best and I can't recommend her enough!…read more She is truly an expert in her craft. She is very thorough and asks in advance what pains, if any, you have and adjusts her treatment accordingly. Her specialty is the hot stone treatment and after the treatment, you won't be the same. Your aches and pains melt away. I've been going to this location for about 6 months now and Tina is my preferred massage therapist since the first visit.

Over the course of a month I had Swedish massage, cupping and hot stone therapies; by the end, my leg felt a lot better and the pain stayed away for quite awhile. I have since bought a package with her and have returned multiple times. Friends of mine also highly recommend her services.

She screamed on me because I wanted to tell her about my shoulder that's been bothering me because of my work and before I even finish talking she screamed on me : don't tell me how to do my job! I am not going to fix you, buy more Groupon and expect great results !! I could not believe it!It seems that she was upset as soon as I walked in because I was using Groupon (she was aware of at the time when making app). It was not my fault that she post her services on Groupon. She also told me: yea buy stuff on Groupon and expect good service! So unprofessional and rude! Never got my services done, I left cuz couldn't handle someone treating me like this.

His massage helped me so much and relieved the back pain almost right away. Also, Hristo gave me a few very precious advices on how to proactively avoid back spams moving forward. I'm very thankful that he's open to help not only with the massage services he provides but with the life advices he told me.

I usually go for stretching massages as I have chronic back problems and stretching helps a lot. Also, on many occasions I will go there for stiff muscles and relaxing massages as well. I've tried many places before, big massage chains, expensive studios in fitness centers and etc. , but on many occasions the people that work there have no clue what they are doing or they don't take their job seriously, and at the end they have made my problem even worse. This is not the case here! Hristo is experienced, knowledgeable and respectful, and have been always able to help! The place is always very clean and relaxing! I strongly recommend you try a session and I am confident you will not look further for a masseurs.

She is professional and timely. It is a bit difficult to get in with her, I am clearly not the only one that notices how talented she is. Her office is located in a multi speciality center across from the train station. It is a nice building with a welcome reception area. Her office is cozy and private. You are the only one in the suite when it's your turn. Parking: There is plenty of parking in the ramp or you can easily find street parking close by. Price: I think for what you're getting her prices are fair.

Chandra has a combination of a desire to help her clients feel better along with an uncanny ability to discover knots, tightness and problem areas like no other. I've bounced around trying to find a great LMT over the years and once in a while I found someone really good and stuck with them for a period. I've gotten massage mostly in the States but also while traveling thru Canada, Prague, Paris, Berlin... I've found that on average, LMT's seem to be the best overall here at home.

I looked at the prices and they were a little higher than other places I found. When I looked at the reviews, I could see why. Vive appeared to know what they were doing. I made my appointment online. Easy peasy. I get a phone call the next day. Oh no, are they going to reschedule me? No indeed. They were asking me about the medications I was on, my medical history and what I was looking for in a massage. I was impressed. Never have any of my massage companies asked me all this information. My massage was today and I went in. Nice looking office and waiting area. They have a parking lot. Place was clean, personable ladies at the desk. They took me to a separate waiting area that was dim and relaxing. I filled out a form with all my information. Orion came out and brought me in. I would say she sat with me a good 10 minutes, discussing my history and asking questions. Then she asked again about what pressure I wanted. She was very vocal about telling me if the pressure is too hard to be sure to let her know. What I experienced was wonderful. She had a nice firm touch and seemed to take a lot of time doing what she needed to do. By the time I was done, I was really relaxed. Since this was my first time with Vive I only purchased one session. I intend to purchase a package and return often. It was nice to get a senior discount.
