I work with you to determine where your body is struggling to move naturally and perform the appropriate therapies to get you moving better and stronger. In most cases, clients can expect improved mobility after their first session.</image:caption>

      <image:title>About Nikolai - About Nikolai</image:title>
      <image:caption>Thank you for looking into my services as a licensed massage therapist! I graduated from the Cortiva Institute of Chicago in 2014, but my background in massage didn't begin there. Being the son of an accomplished massage therapist has provided me with an intuitive understanding of the body and all of the benefits that massage brings, and I helped out at a chiropractic clinic for a few years before deciding to go to school. I believe that what sets my style apart is that I can draw from unique experiences in both clinical and spa settings.  It is my understanding that the best and most transformative massage is one that strikes a balance between soothing and healing; My inspiration comes from a rich background of education. Some of the modalities that I offer are as follows: Deep tissue massage, neuromuscular therapy, myofascial release, Swedish Massage, Esalen style, assisted stretching, contrast therapy, sports massage, and Thai massage techniques. As someone who values education in all things I also work with clients to discuss potential solutions to assist with physical traumas and repetitive stress that may be causing their pain or mobility impairments.</image:caption>
