I am a active athlete and train at least 3 times a week. I have a personal trainer who suggested that I seek a personal massage therapist with knowledge of Sports/Muscle-Tendon therapy. Seems easy especially with all the health clubs in Lakeview & Lincoln Park.

With the help of Anthony this last Summer I played Ultimate Frisbee (very demanding physically), soccer, rode my bike to and from work, and jogged like I was much younger. Best of all, with little or no pain before or after some very hard work outs and tournaments. I quickly became a regular customer. At first I was a little weary given the location, it is in his private residence, but Anthony put me at ease. Anthony has taken the time to really find out what is wrong with my back, legs, and feet. It took a few sessions for him to figure it out, but after that it has been literally the best thing that has happened to my body in a long time. I have recommended him to other friends who run marathons, triatheletes, soccer players, and Ultimate players. Everyone has commented on the excellent massage. Anthony has great hands and knows how to apply pressure to bring relief, but not pain, and relieve soreness/problem areas.
