The NOW Massage Wicker Park

Hands down the best massage I’ve ever had. I booked a deep tissue massage with cupping with Cyria, and the results were incredible. She was extremely professional, thorough, and clearly very knowledgeable. The pressure and firmness were perfect — strong enough to truly work out my knots without ever feeling rushed or uncomfortable. Cyria completely alleviated my back pain and took the time to explain what was going on with my muscles. I especially appreciated that she gave me personalized stretches to do afterward to help maintain the results. I walked out feeling looser, pain-free, and honestly better than I have in a long time. Because of Cyria, I am now a membership holder at The NOW Massage — she is that good.

The whole experience was OK, it was not bad and it could have been better but let me start with the good. First, the massage was a gift so I was able to make the appointment over the phone, and within a time that I was able to make it. I like that I received emails and texts confirming my appointment and also tips to keep in mind such as getting there early, if you do not feel well stay home, and being able to follow them on social media. I’ve also gotten emails to ask of me to become a member of NOW On the day of my appointment I arrived about 15 minutes early and I was offered to use the bathroom as well as getting complimentary water. The front of the space has a few chairs to sit and wait and also products to consider like lotions among other products. Emma came and got me on time and did ask me if I had any injuries, cuts and even what areas not to touch. I then went into the space she had and got ready. The massage was good and comforting, the sounds of waives on the large room do help out block off other people talking since there are only thin curtains between the person next space. What it would have given the place 4 or 5 stars is the following, first, nobody from the phone call, to my arrival or even Emma did not ask me if I wanted any enhancements. There is a board in the front that shows the different enhancements available as an addition to the massage and nobody asked and I only saw the board after the massage. I did ask for the massage to focus on my legs since I am a runner but I think the massage was a good general one and was not focused on what I needed. Overall, it the experience was OK, I’ve gotten better and worse experiences including the massage. The customer service needs a bit of improvement and the massage focused on what the customer needs, I also do triathlons and I’ve gotten sport massages where they focus on those areas that need recovery.

I had an incredible massage at The NOW Massage with Cyria. The session was the perfect combination of relaxation, while also tending to relieve knots and tension exactly where my body needed it. I left feeling refreshed, and it was easily one of the best massage experiences I’ve had. I would absolutely recommend booking with Cyria!

I have been going here for a while and every time has been amazing. Most recently I had been having bad back pain for days and after my massage with Ron I was finally able to sleep a full night and wake up without intense pain. Ron is incredible - he is thoughtful and aware. I have been getting massages for years and Ron is by far the best.

This was my first experience at NOW. I have had massage many times with some excellent massage therapists all over the world. That is to say, I have a lot of experiences to compare it to. Margarita was my therapist on this visit and she is very very good. Her technique is great and she worked my problem areas (neck, lower back) with just the right combination of kneading and friction. Her post massage advice was also excellent. The studio itself is so cool. The reception area is bright and clean and when you enter into the back, it is like stepping into another world. So peaceful and each "cabana" is so quiet and the ocean sounds muffled any external noise. This first visit was a gift from my daughter, but I will be back!!

I came here for a prenatal massage and left very disappointed. The masseuse provided zero relief to the areas of tightness and tension I told him about, and repeatedly ignored my request for more pressure. I’m not even convinced he was prenatal certified. This was definitely not worth the money or my time. If you’re looking for a prenatal massage, skip this place and go to Glow, Birth & Body. If not prenatal, go to Lume Wellness where it is less expensive, more luxurious and personalized.

Stephanie is the most versatile and skilled massage therapist I have ever worked with. I've been seeing her for a year, and her ability to tailor each session is truly impressive. She is a master of deep tissue and gua sha, helping me manage pain and tension. More recently, I began receiving prenatal massages from her, and I've been amazed by how well she understands the needs of a pregnant body. She always provides top-tier care!
