This is different from your ordinary massage places. Here, they use Acupressure and Reflexology. That means they may use their elbows and sometimes even knees to dig deep. For the most part they don't take your clothes off and use a bunch of oils. They typically cover you with a sheet and use very little oils if any. For your feet they use oils and sometimes on your neck. Give it a try.

Remember the scene in Charlie's Angels where Tim Curry gets a massage from Lucy Liu and she stands…read moreon his back. That happened to me today. About a week ago I slipped a rib out of place while wearing a corset at a costume party. Beauty is dangerous and painful. I've been using a heating pad and lots of Advil for my rib pain drowning my sorrows in Miller Lite and Sons of Anarchy episodes on Netflix but I digress. I set out to do two things today return a coat to Eddie Bauer and get a kick ass massage. I did both and the massage was truly a mind blowing experience. My masseuse 5'4", 100 lbs soaking wet started out slow and I thought I'd have to ask for someone tougher. About 5 minutes after her warm up she mounted the table and I realized she had one foot planted on my right hip and the other foot on my left shoulder. I've had massages at Oriental Chi before but this woman was part Spider Man and Wonder Woman in one. After an hour of being elbowed along the spine, kneed in both of my thighs while she practically sat on me I was relaxed and totally pain free. I want to see this woman next week. I have no idea what her name is but WOW! My back feels fantastic, my rib pain is a distance memory and I can put my heating pad away. Oriental Chi is an awesome massage experience and you don't pay for fluff. You pay for 60 minutes of deep tissue massage for $56. My massage was so good I tipped the lady $24. She earned it.

My massage therapist was all around fantastic and the massage I received was one of the better ones I've had in some time. This place isn't fancy and yes the walls are thin, but as another person wrote, you hardly notice once the massage is underway. I will most definitely be back!

My boyfriend and I booked a couples massage on Sunday. We enjoy getting massages together and have…read morebeen looking for a place that offers couples massages. We left extremely disappointed. We booked deep tissue massages. My masseuse used way too much lotion, didn't apply any pressure and just aggressively rubbed oil onto my body. At one point, she intended to apply pressure to the arch of my feet (which are sensitive due to my plantar fasciitis) but her nails were not short so it felt more like being scratched. No one introduced themselves to us, they walked in while we were undressing without knocking or warning. During our massages, a bell kept going off. My masseuse walked out of the room 3 times, talking to someone about other clients. If I had been there alone, I would have walked out. This was the worst massage I've ever had. We will stick to VRC in Skokie. At least we receive quality massages.

I don't think they are licensed therapists...it wasnt a professional massage at all and what they did felt like made up moves. My therapist got up twice from my massage to answer the phone and answer the door bell/talk with a walk in.

These things aside, troubled areas I walked in with I walked out with ...I didn't really get anything from the massage but it was decently relaxing. Not the worst I've had...and not the best.

This along with sitting 10+ hour days in front of a computer makes for bad times sometimes. I cannot afford $70+ dollars each month for a possibly mediocre massage. Here comes Relax Center. It is not the prettiest place to look at, and the person massaging you may or may not smell of cigarettes. What sets this place apart is that you can get a one hour massage for $30 plus tip. I try to tip generously because I am unsure of what the employees are being compensated. There is a language barrier here because the majority of employees only speak Chinese. The person at the front desk speaks English so she can help with special requests or questions. Massages can be hot or miss depending on your masseuse. I have been to a few foot spas in the area and find this place is less choreographed and is able to work on your trouble spots. I also feel like you get a longer back massage but that could be me. Don't forget to pick up a punchcard on the way out!

The therapists were talking to each other at full volume the whole time, even after being asked to be quiet. Staff were arguing with customers at the front desk, people were constantly coming and going, and another customer was playing video games on their phone at full volume.
