Robert Ertel, LMT, CPT, CES

 I am a Licensed Massage Therapist in the State of Illinois, as well as a Certified Personal Trainer with NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) with a specialization in Corrective Exercise. Having over 10 years of experience in massage, 20+ years in personal fitness and over 900 hours of education, I have an extensive knowledge of musculo-skeletal anatomy and the Human Movement System. 

By focusing on optimal posture, muscle health and joint movement, I can provide stress reduction and pain relief to those sore, overworked areas. Each session is tailored to meet your specific needs and long term goals. This is accomplished by using a combination of techniques and being sensitive to your body and the muscular issues I find as I work. I treat the source of the problems, not just the symptoms. I finish each session by giving you self care guidance to continue the work that began on the table. 

For those who want to explore Corrective Exercise, I am able to design a massage and exercise program for long term health and fitness goals. 

I look forward to meeting you! Be well.

REVIEWS for my Bodywork or Fitness services

by Tim on Mar 10
Robert is an excellent therapist; very communicative, has a good style that leaves me feeling refreshed while also paying attention to areas of focus (e.g., like weak or tight muscles associated with neck pain or plantar fasciitis). Highly recommend.
