This was my first time seeing Robert. I am no stranger to massages. I used to get one every other week for almost a year - and Robert’s was the best I have ever had! He even did some work on my face (I clench my jaw). I felt relaxed and safe enough to doze off a few times. He was familiar with the conditions I have and was able to target areas specific to those conditions.

Robert has a very good sense of muscle composition and works well to address and correct soreness and fatigue that I often experience due to extended periods of sitting at a desk. He has been a big help in improving my posture and strength.

Robert is incredible. The best LMT I’ve ever seen. He’s super flexible and always willing to work with the client. In addition to being so professional and personable; He’s very knowledgeable regarding additional modalities such as cupping, stretching, trigger point release etc. He always knows the issue and how to remediate it. I highly recommend him to everyone.

Robert is an extremely professional and talented individual. I am a former baseball player of 32 years and was involved in serious vehicle accident 2 years ago where I broke vertebrae in my back with crush injuries to my hands along with some additional injuries. Robert has made it to where this is by far the best my body has felt physically post accident. He is a blessing.

Robert provides a truly unique experience. This is my 3rd massage and I can say that each one has met my needs. Robert's techniques are great applying the right amount of pressure, yet checking with you to be sure you're comfortable. The space is small, providing a Zen experience. His business is professional, great offerings and no waiting.

I have been going to Robert Ertel for massage therapy for several years. I have arthritis and restricted range of motion in several joints.

Robert Ertel is definitely one of the best masseurs on my list. I work a lot in the office, and work out hard on exercise machines. Without telling him of my troubled, aching spots, he seemed to know where they were and, combined with his knowledge of the various pressure points of the muscles, he would work his magic, released all the sore knots in my muscles using his great deep tissue massage skills, which totally relaxed my whole body. I will go back to him for massages repeatedly, for sure.

I love my weekly massages. Whether I am traveling (which I do often for work) and getting one at a spa or using a massage on demand app, or at home in Chicago, I need my weekly massages to keep the stress and bay and the aches & pains away. Robert is the highlight of my week, when I am home. He is knowledgeable, listens and seems intuitive with his touch. I owned a spa for 10 years and if I had known him then, I would have wanted him to have worked with us, as I had only the best technicians and "healers" working there. I can not recommend him highly enough!

Robert is amazingly talented when it comes to therapeutic and pain management massages. Anytime I have an area that needs special attention, Robert addresses the issue and spends extra time working on it. I went in with right shoulder and hip pain and left feeling significantly better. I highly recommend Robert and can’t say enough about how truly skilled and knowledgeable he is.
