Energize Sports Massage

Very serious Cross fit-Body Sculpture muscular athlete in competitive training. I have serious tightness issues with my shoulders, neck, traps, scapular blade & lower back/Sciatic nerve muscle. I have been seeking a Pro therapist with strong fingers who could dig in that muscle, trigger point-Myofascial therapy all the above issues.I was in search of a more intense pressure trigger point to get into that muscle & rid my stress knots, I wanted my lower back, I T bands/ hip flexors, calves worked on I spoke to Alex over the phone, gave him details what I seek, , The session was excellent, total professional, his knowledge on my issues, understanding and attacking my muscle pain was on point. After wards, he goes over the massage treatment, wants feedback and gives advice on stretch exercise to improve/strengthen those issues to improve.

I Highly Recommend His athletic 90 min. Hot Oil Trigger Point-Deep Tissue No nonsense Massage Combo. Pressure totally excellent,

His Trigger point-My God, he got all those knots out, the elbow on my hamstrings & calves superb.

I am a 64-250lb person, He body stretch me like on one has ever done. To get my back to cracked, My God, I was 100% satisfied after that session and have been a regular..

TOTALLY RECOMMEND COACH TONY

OMG, What a hidden gem in Edgewater for serious Cross Fit athlete in training seeking the real deal in Deep Tissue-Trigger Point therapy.

I had to write this review today not just to give Tony & Energize

Sports Massage High marks on their Professionalism, Unique on hands approached , therapeutic service, but high marks on Sports-Cross Fit knowledge on the male athlete in physical training & healing maintenance of the body. In the Naval Academy we are taught, How you approach a situation as an adult is how the situation will treat you.I have been going to Energize since 2014 during my training at Great Lakes Naval Training Base and should have written this earlier. I have had many massages in the past and was looking for a local place to get a professional deep tissue massage therapist and found Energize Sports Massage. The conversation over the phone was, [ YES , I actually called not Text} I got into detail on my needs/ lower back, quads, hamstring issues. He answered every question I had to make me more relax on making a reservation. When you arrive, at his office studio, Alex, greets you warmly and sits with you before the massage to talk and for you to relax. Its a nice transition from the hectic world of naval active stress training to the zen you will be in shortly. He has a separate room with his studio. With the right therapeutic music playing in the background to thoroughly de stress you, Rates are very very reasonable compared to other Chicago north side-North Shore Chicago therapist.I always go for his 90 minute Sports- Trigger Point-stretch massage and am never disappointed. He thoroughly worked on my back and gets deep in that the muscles to remove any knots I have. The leg stretching is amazing. I always leave feeling so relaxed and my muscles are saying thank you. Final Comment.I find the rates very fair , Very knowledgeable on sports, sports injuries and treatment, being a former athlete he knows the male body. The pressure just enough to remove those knotted areas but never in extra pain. He always communicate with you the very first session. - I feel that the massage I get is more personalized to my body. Highly recommended

Ive been to many massage therapists in the past and Tony from Energize Sports Massage is the best! Ive been going to Energize Massage for several years now. Im a triathlete, runner, and a crossfitter and my body is sore all the time. After a session with Anthony I feel energized and ready to tackle the next workout. He knows what he is doing. He is my go to guy. His prices are also reasonable and he runs special deals all the time.

I have gone here many times and each time I walk away feel invigorated. Anthony really knows how to give a deep tissue massage like no other. When I arrive we chat for a bit - a good way for me to make the transition from the outside world to the massage I am about to receive. He always asks if there are any areas that I need extra work on and listens to what I have to say. To top it off, his prices are very reasonable and often he has specials you can get. Highly recommended.

Having seen Alex & his amazing fingers/ hands, or his assistant Koi four times in the last five months . Totally pain & stress free,

Id highly recommend him to anyone. Who is a serious athlete in training. Strong hands/ fingers if you have a heavy muscular body mass for a real intense trigger point massage. I am a professional soccer player & in need of regular leg stretch/ hamstrings. I T Bands & glutes trigger point treatment The first time I saw him was for my lower back, hamstring/ groin injuries from playing soccer, I thought I had an idea what the problem was, and told him so. Anthony thoughtfully listened, then proceeded to perform a comprehensive evaluation--more than Id ever had at a Spa & just your basic massage therapist with no type of sports massage training in the past. He explained to me why I was experiencing pain, gave me info on what type of massage treatment/ stretch exercises to make the pain better, The treatment-regular plan he would undertake & to put me on a schedule. After a few sessions, the pain subsided. Ive occasionally had flare ups, but because I knew what was causing the pain, I am able to correct the problem myself. I like most who had never had a professional massage therapy thought that after one session that the pain would disappear. But common sense, it does take three or four regular session to see the results and to give your muscles the physical therapy it needs to heal correctly. I recently returned from long, hard trip in Europe & Asia, and felt like Id

been struck by a bus. Keep in mind I am 30, in shape & play soccer regularly. I thought about going to a spa for a quick rub down massage, but decided to see Alex, because a lot of the pain was actually in my joints. Once again, he started by checked me out--even for things that I wasnt complaining about. He did an adjustment & work on me for a little while. No lie, an hour later, I was totally pain free. Cant ask for anything better than that. Located in a great area in Andersonville, His home/office studio is very private, relaxing, massage room very sureal & comfortable.Call & reserve early, especially on weekends.

RATES VERY VERY REASONABLE,, .

Coach Alex is amazing. He is very friendly, down to earth and welcoming. He gives fantastic, quality sport-Deep Tissue/ Trigger Point-Stretch massages. Pressure points, body stretching excellent. I’ve been able to perform in recent days so much better in my cross fit training after his massages. His hot oil sports deep tissue massage on my Hamstrings, Glutes, Lower Back feet reflexology, feel amazing. Massage room, very clean, safe, You are required to wear your facial mask, A head temperature is taken and he wears his mask, massage gloves or facial shield if you asked for a facial,,,,,Highly recommend.
