Not many massage therapists have a knowledge of anatomy like Laima and Divah do. They give very good deep tissue massages. I too frequently fall asleep during the massage. The deep pressure puts me into a state of very deep breathing. It is so deep, I have to breathe through it! But when the pressure is lifted, massive pleasure hormones flood the brain. I have been coming here for over 10 years, because both of these ladies seem to understand massage and anatomy like no one else does. The scalp technique is especially ecstatic. Very clean, peaceful and talented.

Best shop in town. Laima and her massage staff provide the best bargain in Chicago. After coming here for five years this place is always immaculately clean, warm, cozy, has hot showers, and friendly staff. The massage staff includes an Olympic Silver Metallist who was a sprinter (runner). Their massage-bodywork treats, sooths, and heals painful, sore or stiff joints and muscles exactly like an athlete would need. Nowhere else in Chicago comes close to them. When I leave I am always smiling and look forward to my return. Bruce

worst customer service award. I called the Body Work & Massage Source today and left a message asking to confirm my appointment. When I made the appointment, I was asked if I wanted a confirmation call a few days before since I was a new customer. I knew the appointment was soon and was hoping they would call back because I did not write down the appointment in my calendar.

The salon owner called me back today to let me know that my appointment was a week and a half ago. When I asked why I hadn't received a confirmation call, she said there were no notes to give me a call and she didn't know what she could do about it since it was a groupon. When I reminded her about the call she began to get snippy and told me to stop "pushing" her. I was only calmly asking why she hadn't called me to confirm. Then she told me I could look in her appointment book and that maybe someone else took the appointment. I assured her that she was who I spoke to and again, I was asked to stop "pushing" her.

So, Groupon, I'd like my money back. I would prefer not to go to a salon with an owner as rude as this. I wonder how small business owners can stay in business with this attitude. A bit of customer service would have been nice.

Excellent massage!. I had my second fantastic massage at the Body Work and massage Source on Lincoln. They are so professional and are really excellent.

I have had massages that are neither relaxing nor beneficial...this was both! And its calm and quiet.

Perfect way to start the weekend.

BEST SCRUB AND MASSAGE IN TOWN!!!!. I scheduled for a Salt scrub "Glow" and massage. This was the first time I have ever had a scrub, but needed to exfoliate prior to a sunless tanning appointment tomorrow, and thought it would be a great idea.

I truly wish my visit was longer. Laima was genuine, professional, and truly gifted. What a blessing to cross paths...for mind, spirit, and body.

As a provider in the world of Dermatology, I am quite selective with whom I trust my skin. I couldn't have had a better experience and will recommend family, friends, and collleagues. THANK YOU!!!

Best Massages in Chicago. From the moment you step foot into the shop, you will feel at home. The staff here is so welcoming, warm, and accommodating. From skin care to body works, I've experienced it all. Laima's massages are the best I have ever received, while Nina's facials leave my skin feeling like new. If you need a place to simply relax and indulge, this is your spot!

amazing massages!. this was the first time i had been to this salon and was a little nervous as to the quality. In addition my friend that joined me for the indulgence had never had a massage before at all and I wanted to be sure that her first experience was incredible. It was! The massueses were intuitive to our needs and i received one of my top 5 massages of my life!!!!

The most relaxing part of my week is a massage at The Bodywork and Massage Source. I was feeling a little older and a little creakier, but thanks to Laima and Daiva at The Bodywork and Massage Source, I now feel a little younger and a lot less creakier. One massage by Laima and I was hooked. I treat myself to a weekly massage for the mental and physical benefits. The salon is pleasantly appointed and extremely clean. I have been a regular customer for nearly two years. I can recommend The Bodywork and Massage Source without hesitation and I like to give my friends Gift Certificates so they can also experience the pleasure.

Best Massages in Chicago. This "no frills" spa facility, located in SE Lakeview is top-notch! I am a weekly regular for the past 3 years. Metered parking is plentiful... You get a full 60min massage - unlike the "frilly spas" that are overpriced. Laima and Diva are extremely friendly and have a true knack for bringing therapeutic relief to an achy overtired back. Without them, I would not be able to function properly throughout my demanding work-week. If you are tired of spas that are overpriced and under-deliver....then call Laima (owner) or Diva right away!! You will be glad you did...
