Local Massage Therapy Centers Celebrate Anniversaries

Urban Oasis, a massage therapy spa with two locations on the north side of Chicago, marks their 21st anniversary in December. The two spas employ 65 massage therapists and offer a dozen different types of massage, including Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, hot stone, Thai and ashiatsu.

Urban Oasis was designed with massage and relaxation in mind. Upon entering, clients replace their shoes with massage sandals and effectively leave the busy world outside at the door. The facilities are exceptionally clean and Zen-like, and each location has 10 massage rooms and six private locker rooms, complete with a choice of rain or steam shower. Holiday gift certificates are available.

Locations: 12 W. Maple St., third floor (312-587-3500) and 939 W. North Ave., atrium (312-640-0001). For more information, visit UrbanOasisMassage.com.

Calm Massage Therapy Center, in Highland Park, is celebrating its fifth anniversary with an expanded eco-boutique collection and gift certificates.

The professional therapists at Calm Massage Therapy Center are all Illinois licensed, nationally certified members of the American Massage Therapy Association. In affiliation with Northshore Chinese Medicine, Rena Zaid, a diplomate in acupuncture and a Chinese medicine practitioner, provides treatments to promote wellness.
