Overview

Please inquire about current availability.

Hi, I’m Rios, a board-certified and Illinois-licensed massage therapist with more than seven years of hands-on experience. I provide professional massage therapy tailored to your individual needs. Whether you’re looking to reduce muscle tension, improve mobility, relieve stress, or simply relax, each session is designed around your goals.

My training includes Swedish massage, deep tissue massage, trigger point therapy, and assisted stretching. Before every session, we’ll discuss your health history, areas of concern, and treatment... goals. This allows me to customize your massage using techniques that best support your comfort and well-being.

I believe effective massage therapy combines skilled technique with clear communication and genuine care. My goal is to create a calm, welcoming environment where you can feel comfortable, respected, and fully supported throughout your session.

I practice in Chicago’s Ravenswood and Andersonville neighborhoods and proudly provide an LGBTQIA+ inclusive practice while welcoming clients of all backgrounds. Your privacy, comfort, and professionalism are always respected.

Testimonials

Gathered by Rios from admiring massage clients to share with you.

Oct. 08, 2025 in Chicago, IL (in-studio)

From the moment I arrived, Rios made the entire experience exceptional. His studio was easy to find, and Rios greeted me at the door with a warm welcome. The space was immaculate, with soothing lighting, gentle music, and a heated massage table that made everything feel incredibly comfortable.

What I especially appreciated was how Rios took the time to sit with me before the session to discuss my specific problem areas and understand where my stress and pain were coming from. Throughout the massage, Rios checked in several times to make sure the pressure was just right, which made a big difference.

I’ve been struggling with sciatic nerve pain for the past year, and this was the first time I’ve felt true relief — immediately after the session, the pain was significantly improved. Rios was kind, professional, and genuinely dedicated to helping me feel better.

This was a top-notch massage that not only relieved pain but also worked out the knots in my back. I’ll certainly be booking again and look forward to seeing Rios soon. He is by far one of the best in Chicago!
