Therapeutic Kneads

All the therapists are amazing! Certainly the owner knows how to pick them but she is quite the slave driver. Not good. The owner is definitely effected by the myth of highland park. Not all of us who run businesses do it this way.

I was going to book a massage until I saw on the website that you have to be fully vaccinated. BS! I would give 0 stars if I could.

I really loved my visit here. I am not a huge fan of massages, because I always wonder how I can "get out of my own" head in 30-60 minutes of silence! But I had a terrible back ache from a non-athletic, low-stakes pattern of bad posture. It wasn't going away, so I figured I'd get outside help. The booking experience via phone was easy. They had openings that weren't online, so it was great that they fit me in.

I also was a bit embarrassed to ask if the staff was vaccinated, since I was about to get married and wanted to protect myself/others as much as possible by insulating myself from illness. The receptionist was SO nice and told me it was a fair question. Good to note that indeed all of their staff is vaccinated. Peace of mind is good! My massage therapist, Ashley, was so nice and helped me relax.

We even chatted a bit as she did the massage. I didn't walk away from it feeling perfect, but my back pain was indeed quite significant and needed some anti-inflammatory meds too. Even so, it was super helpful to alleviate a lot of the pain, so I would recommend going here, even if you're not a massage aficionado.

The entire staff at therapeutic kneads is amazing! I am so lucky to have found them a year ago! Dr. Mark and Ashley have been helping me tremendously with my chronic pain and migraines. I highly recommend!

This is an oasis of relaxing massages in downtown Highland Park. They have the nicest people on staff from the receptionist who makes the appointment when you call and greets you when you arrive, to the terrific massage therapists on staff. In my travels, I have had massages in many cities, and for me, Therapeutic Kneads ranks as #1.

Great spot! I've been everywhere and I'm knowledgeable on what's the best! My therapist did great!

I have a hard time going anywhere else in general. I highly recommend this spot and this massage therapist! Just had my appointment today with the new guy, John. He was fantastic! Pressure was perfect and he was attentive to my problem areas. Five stars for sure!

My husband started going here about 3 years ago after a sports injury and physical therapist recommended. He was anti massage and came out the first time able to stand with less pain and stiffness. After 4 or so visits re recommended that I go since I was having some aches from standing and walking all day with my job. After I worked with Jennifer multiple times I began to see increased mobility and less daily aches.

They ask questions and follow up from last time before your start your session so they focus on the areas you need most. The space is clean, quiet and relaxing. I have tried different add ons and therapists and have always been pleased. We value the service so much we are part of their monthly package because we get more bang for the buck. I have always had wonderful experiences with the staff both in reception and the therapists.

Their work with deep tissue massage and cupping has been such an important part of my husband and my self care. I actually raved about it so much over the years a friend made me schedule and appointment for her when she came in town.

Seriously, the whole world looks better after you've been kneaded. Best on the North Shore and I've tried a few

Excellent location, service & pricing. Visited today for the first time and enjoyed a wonderful couple's massage with my husband. They did exactly as we requested and didn't try to up-sale and push expensive "extras" on us like we've experienced with other companies. We will be back. Highly recommend.

I have had apts two or three times with Therapeutic Kneads and can't wait to come back each year. I live In Co and I have yet to find not only a facility like this at home but an amazing Therapist like Sherry! She is by far an away the best Massage Therapist i have ever had the opportunity to work with! She know exactly what I need and what my body needs.

She introduced me to Cupping therapy this last month and it helped my body in ways that nothing else can. She is amazing, she knows so much about what she does, and I will be coming back as soon as I can! Love this spot. Sherry is the absolute best!

Juan was the very best massage therapist I've ever been too. I came in with horrible migraines and neck pain and I left feeling 100 percent better. He's professional, kind and VERY STRONG! He gave me a good stretching tip as well. The front desk staff is eh at best but they are worth dealing with to go see Juan. He was great!

Upscale feel with reasonable rates. The staff here are amazing! Careful, you may never want to leave.the massages are that good!

Friendly staff, clean facility and all around great experience! From the booking to check out everything went seamlessly. I've only had a couple massages in my life prior to this one, but generally I don't like a lot of pressure. I like enough pressure for it to be relaxing, but also to loosen up tight muscles from exercising. Given my preference on pressure points, I was referred to Sam. I've never had a male massage therapist and Sam made the first experience very comfortable.

At times his pressure was a little too much for me, but was able to adjust accordingly. On a scale of 1-5, 5 being a lot of pressure, I prefer a 3 and Sam was able to provide that. Another great massage therapist, is Jessie. She also does an excellent job of adjusting pressure accordingly and tailor to your needs. She makes you feel very comfortable and listens to what you want, just tell her exactly what you want and she'll provide it. Her massage was so good it made me fall asleep! All around great service and facility, easy parking too! I would definitely go back and recommend it!

It's an amazing nuturing place that feeds the soul. Fresh tea, beet sugar, tranquil n peaceful environment.u feel the emotional investment amongst the staff.all for one.rooms r immaculate, warm m very comfortable.any one of the staff can make u feel relaxed n glad I came.enjoy

An amazingly disappointing experience. I went in for a prenatal 60 minute massage, and although my therapist couldn't have been nicer, it wasn't as much a massage as an hour long lube up. I asked her to use more pressure, but it felt more like she was smearing me with lotion than massaging muscles. When i walked in I asked that the tension in my shoulders be relieved, and when i walked out.it hurt no less than when i walked in. This was a tremendous waste of money.

Theraputic Kneads has a fantastic staff. Their massages are professional and terrific for anyone in need of this service.

Had one of the best deep tissue massages ever. Jenika really did a great job getting the knots out of body. I do not get a lot of massages because they usually do not really go deep enough. This one really hit the spot!

My oasis from the winter. If you are looking for a more gentle, therapeutic massage I highly recommend Gayle. She uses my preferred oil and has a very even touch. Her knowledge of muscles, tissues, ligaments etc is vast. From month to month she keeps my body in good working order! After a year of sessions I have noticed many health benefits including a great night's sleep, and greater ease in movement. The staff is friendly, professional and timely.

I have been going to Therapeutic Kneads for a few years now. We were new to the area and I was looking for a regular massage place. I need regular deep tissue work to keep migraines away. At the time, their prices were right. I quickly found Deborah as my masseuse. Deborah is awesome. She is a great listener and then uses that to inform my sessions.

Some people listen but don't use the information. Deborah also give me tips like stretches and such to help trouble areas. She really cares about my well-being. Not just as a client but a friend. The front desk staff are so sweet. They are professional and kind. They know you by name. Although I do like Therapeutic Kneads, their prices went up significantly about 6 months ago. It hit me kind of hard. I know businesses gotta do what they gotta do, but I felt it!

This was quite possibly the worst massage I have ever had. I would describe it as a very light rub down with no lotion/oil. After requesting pressure multiple times, I still got a rub down. Gayle I'm sure is a lovely person but the worst massage therapist I have ever been to. She didn't use any lotion/oil for 1/2 the session. Ouch! Pulling my skin.

It was the most bizarre experience ever. Not to mention the ticking clock. DO NOT GO HERE. You're better off sitting in the massage chair at the nail salon. 60 minutes for $100. Go see a personal trainer to stretch you out instead.

I'm very happy I found this place and gave it a try. The staff in the front is very friendly and helpful. The place itself is very clean and makes you feel welcome. I called to book a massage as I was dealing with some muscle spasms in my neck and back. I was helped out by Karen and she not only did a great job with the massage I received but she also explained to me what I was feeling - that helped just as much as the massage did as I tend to worry a lot and understanding what I was feeling was wonderful. I'll definitely be going back to this place and I highly recommend you try it out.

I have been patronizing Therapeutic Kneads for several years, usually on an emergency "everything hurts" basis, and they have become an essential member of my community of wellness providers. (It takes a village.) The therapists are excellent, partly the result of a painstaking screening and hiring process, and the office is well-run as well as immaculate.

The other benefit is that they are open 7 days a week and have evening hours on weekdays, so they have always been able to fit me in and accommodate my schedule. This is truly therapeutic massage and is my go-to place when my body tells me it's time to get "fixed."

I was pleased with my massage and Jennifer was great. No complaints and scheduled immediately for my second visit. Price was on par with what I expected and less than a Red Door. I didn't mind all the "extra's" as you come in and actually enjoyed checking it out. My only comment is that as I read other reviews the response by the business to reviews that were somewhat critical were met with a "snarky" response. Reviews are meant to be honest so that others know what to expect and a response that is equally unpleasant is a poor reflection on whoever management has responding. This, of course, has nothing to do with the skilled therapists and the quality of service Therapeutic Kneads offers but an observation of customer service. It's a convenient location, has easy parking and offers a quality service and expertise in areas and conditions not found in a spa environment.

Outstanding team of massage therapists in an unintimidating, warm atmosphere. Trained in multiple techniques so able to customize for specific injuries, aches and pains. More effective than any spa treatment I've enjoyed in my years of global travel!

On a whim, I called at 1pm on a Friday and was able to book a 1 hour Swedish massage. Jessica was excellent. I was so relaxed and happy that I ended up buying a package of 4 massages for $320 (which is a savings from the normal $95 per hour rate). The package needs to be used this year but they send you a gift card with the balance if you don't use by that time.

This is a pretty smart business practice. You only really save on that 4th massage and you need to get these massages in pretty short order. I also thought the buy was smart for me because it will make me come back and I want to come back soon! Pretty good win-win all around!

My massage therapist, Karen, is amazing and it is truly a holistic, healing experience. The staff has been great about when I've had to move appointments last minute due to illness and is always very welcoming when I come in.

My first experience at Therapeutic Kneads was unfortunately not good. I provided my feedback with their email questionnaire and was contacted immediately regarding my experience by Renee. She was so helpful and kind and offered for me to try the business and another Therapist another time. And I am SO GLAD that I did. I just had an appointment with Karen and she was absolutely amazing!

I would rank this in my top 3 of all time Massages (this comes from someone that has utilized Massage Therapy as a pain relief off and on for over 10 years). Karen was insightful and in tune with my body/muscles needs. I have already arranged my appointment to see her again next month. It is refreshing to find a business (especially a place that does Massages) that is extremely customer/client focused and truly appreciates your feedback.

It has been hard to find places that in Chicago that compare to my previous health/physical support in Stowe, VT and I am pleased to say that I found my new home for my massages. Thank you Karen and thank you Therapeutic needs for upholding a standard in client satisfaction!

Horrible first impression for a business I actually looked forward to visiting. This was a bust before even walking thru the door since they decided to charge me for canceling an appointment with less than 24 hour notice, even though I booked that appointment less than 24 hours beforehand. I wouldn't really call this good customer service losing a customer before their first visit.

I just had a session with Chandra and am so much better for it. I got deep tissue work done and her approach was very creative and highly effective. She found the source of pain that I wasn't necessarily aware until it was gone. I also really appreciate that the intake form asks what type of music you prefer. I can't relax to nature sounds.

My mother is a very sick woman who needs to be handled with extreme care. I was hesitant about getting her a massage because i knew she would have trouble getting adjusted on a table. I also thought that a massage therapist may be afraid to touch her with all her medical issues. Wow, was i wrong! Not only did she get a massage, the therapist came to her house where she would be most comfortable.

Her therapist was hand picked just for her based on her needs. Not only was everybody comfortable, my mom had the most incredible massage! I can't tell you how important it is to be touched. My mother felt human again. I can't wait to do this for her again!

It took me a while to realize this but the best massages do not necessarily take place in those zen-heavy spas that offer cucumber water. In fact, the best massages are those that truly understand how the body works. Such was the massage I got from Therapeutic Kneads. It surprised me to know that this place was located within my neighborhood as I have been searching high and low for a place that I would consider my "go-to" spot when my muscles are calling it quits from running and the everyday stresses of life.

I definitely knew I had to go before a long road trip. I booked a 90-minute massage and my only regret was that I could've had it for even longer. Anna, my masseuse, provided perhaps one of the best massages I've had in my life. Every knot and every tense spot were given such attention that I truly felt like butter when all was said and done.

The staff members were friendly and pleasant and I appreciated that even though they offered many products for the body such as therapeutic pillows and such, no one tried to push you to buying anything. I can definitely say I have found my place!
