I jog and participate in a bunch of varied-distance runs through the year so my muscles need a lot of work. Marc did a fantastic job of mixing PT, massage, and trigger points to give me substantial relief, esp in my back and hamstrings which were really tight. If you're looking for targeted relief, Marc is a great practitioner to try. Highly recommend!

I honestly don't even know where to start. I had an appointment scheduled for a 60 minute massage,…read moredrove 45 minutes to get there, and the guy never even showed up. No call, no heads up, nothing. When I finally reached out, he rejected my call and then had the nerve to text me "please text me" -- after I had ALREADY texted him. Like what?? Then he says he "forgot to put my time on the schedule." Are you kidding me? This was beyond unprofessional. It's basic respect for someone's time, especially when they're going out of their way to come see you. I rearranged my day and wasted gas for absolutely nothing. If you're running a business, act like it. This experience was a complete joke from the very beginning. It took him over a day just to respond to my texts to get something scheduled and his excuse for your concerns is it's a "one man operation". Then hire more people?

She was able to find tension spots in my back and legs that I didn't even know existed.

I was so happy with the results that I've already booked another appointment for next week. 15/10--highly recommend!

My husband surprised me with a 90 min couples massage for my birthday. I was super excited as we…read morehad massages in and outside of the country. However, this place is not a place for us. Upon arrival there is a tall staircase in order to enter the business. Though this wasn't a problem for us, keep in mind if you have any disabilities. They also make you take your shoes off and slip into slides. Once again no big deal, but bring socks. Upon actually entering the waiting area, they had my husband pay right away, which I thought was a huge red flag. In all the massages we've had, we've never paid first. There was also a 3% fee for using a card despite our total being over $200+. We get into the room, located right by the entrance and it is freezing. My husband's bed was warmed, however mine was not. I have never seen or heard of a heated massage table, but with a drafty window a portable heater would have solved this issue. When the two massage therapists entered they did not greet themselves and started saying something in another language. Mine asked me light or strong. I told her medium as that is what I have always requested from other locations. After that she noticed the bed wasn't warmed, attempted to fix it, but it was broken: WE WERE NOT ASKED OR INFORMED we were getting a DEEP tissue massage. Considering what a deep tissue massage entitles, they also did not ask other important questions like areas of concern or injuries. The massage started with some oil and hot stones and quickly progressed to pain. All I kept thinking was what type of massage did my husband book. I grimaced, flinched, and yelped in pain. My person's only response was "oh you're sensitive" and she continued at the same strength/depth. 90% was jamming her elbow into every possible pressure point and directly into my bones. This was not only the most painful massage I have ever had, but the second most painful and traumatic experience in my life; internal bleeding being my number one. I have a high pain tolerance and not sensitive to pain. Even more than that, she did not respect that I left my panties on and pulled them down and lifted them up. I'm immediately cried when she finally finished and on the entire way home. To say the least my masseuse did not receive a tip. I'm on muscle relaxers and have multiple bruises. I will never be back and regret not sitting up and ending it. Everything from the base of my skull to my legs hurt; to put it in perspective I weigh 135 pounds and 5'5". IF you book a couples massage with them, do not assume you are getting a Swedish massage like most places, despite there being no option to select.

He knows exactly where you need more focus and exactly how much pressure to apply. He always takes the time to listen to your concerns beforehand and makes sure to address every single one of them. I sometimes have to visit other massage therapists when I am traveling out of town, and I am always disappointed because no one else even comes close to how good Vince is. It is always a relief to get back to Skokie and have a proper session with him. Do yourself a favor and make an appointment with Vince. There is no way you will regret it.

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.
