“Thanks to your amazing massage I am moving with freer ROM and no pain!  I will keep up the maintenance and hope to continue to feel as well as I feel today!  You’re the best, Penny!   Thanks so much.”

“Penny’s dry technique trumps any sports massage that I’ve had to date, and I’ve been a frequent experimenter with different massage styles and massage therapists for over ten years.  While her work is ‘deep-tissue’, it’s truly much more of a muscle re-orientation.  Expect to feel therapeutically more in-tune.   Go to Penny if you need intense relief and/or regularly want your body to be kept in proper working order.  You will feel like a younger, fitter *you* when you walk out of the door.”

“Regardless of my particular physical malady on any particular day, and it could be anything from a deteriorating left hip, stenosis of the lower spine, rotator cuff issue, or a combination thereof, Penny’s massage was somehow able to bring true relief to my body.   Equally impressive was the advice and counsel Penny generously gave on how best to follow-up on each session.  Small wonder that so many sought Penny’s expert services and often made getting an appointment very difficult.”

“Although I am not a frequent receiver of massages, I have experienced massages at spas in the U.S. and abroad and as part of chiropractic/rehab treatment.  Penny’s was the first massage I had that did not incorporate oil into the massage.  I was a bit skeptical at first, but my wife had gone to Penny in the past and had recommended I go, as well.  I found the technique refreshing and the experience both relaxing and impactful.  Often, massages are done at a superficial level, but the combination of deep muscle massage with dry application that Penny utilizes transcends beyond anything I had experienced in the past.  I also found it quite refreshing that Penny didn’t endorse frequent massage.  Her recommended frequency for me (every few months) is actually something I could contemplate.”

“Hi Folks— I highly recommend you go to Penny Chelios for your massage needs. Penny’s unique deep-tissue massage method protocol is the best I have ever experienced.  She is personable, professional and has the clinical experience to ensure your body and mind are inline with balance and focus.   Penny is indeed the best!”

“Compared to other massages I have had, I found Penny’s massages to really loosen up both muscles and joints in the back.  When I look at the long-term therapeutic nature of massages, I cannot help but notice that I feel my benefits from Penny’s massage for many days beyond each session.   My favorite part of Penny’s massages are the varied enjoyable and comfortable tractions of the joints and vertebrae.  It almost seems more ‘medically’ therapeutic in nature instead of superficial and temporarily relaxing.  I don’t get downtown often enough.  But, I do look forward to scheduling another session with Penny whenever I return.”

“I feel that Penny’s massage methods are able to provide more benefit in an hour than any other massage modality I have experienced in the past.  The techniques she uses provide significant relief from stiffness or pain, yet it does not create soreness afterwards.  It is helpful to know that each manipulation serves a specific purpose and Penny makes that very clear in the context of her work.”

“Penny’s approach to massage is unique.  She always explains what muscles are being worked on and how I was probably overusing them in my daily life.  Having just had my third child, I needed a lot of help.  I have never had a massage as amazing as the deep-tissue massage Penny delivers.  I always feel amazing following a session and I desperately try to find time to book the next one!”

“I have had massages from numerous excellent professionals over the years, and Penny Chelios’s massage technique is by far the most therapeutic, long-lasting, and relaxing I have ever experienced.   By not using lotions or oils, Penny manages to apply just the right pressure so that the muscles are both relaxed and reinvigorated.   I highly recommend Penny’s unique methods of massage!”

“I’ve had many massages in my life and I had heard a lot about Penny’s methods so I was curious as to how it compared to my past experiences.  The answer is, it didn’t compare at all – I had never experienced this before.  Penny asks questions, is participating, engaging and communicating without being intrusive or losing the relaxing nature of the massage.  You never feel like you are just another body on a table getting your back rubbed.  I actually felt taller when I walked out of the room!  Penny is completely committed to what she’s doing and that is to be respected and sought out.  I highly recommend Penny and her unique approach to massage.”

“Penny has a professional manner accompanied by deep knowledge of massage therapy topped off with strong hands and a good heart.  To be on her table is to feel that you are in good hands.  Her techniques, while not always comfortable, get great results!  Penny is a gift to the profession.”

“Just a few words about Penny Chelios, my former massage therapist. (I moved to Montana several years ago.)  However, before I did, I had the good fortune to be treated by Penny in Chicago.  I have a chronic ‘bad back’ and have tried many therapies, and masseurs over the years to get relief.  Penny was able to pinpoint, explain and treat my condition so that my pain was greatly mitigated.  Over a period of months, I was able to resume activities that I had not been able to participate in for years.  She put me on a road to recovery that I had not been able to find elsewhere.  She is a wonderful, healing practitioner who I recommend to anyone who seeks relief from pain.”

“Penny always gave me a great massage and so much more intense then the usual surface massages I have gotten by others.  It felt as if she were deep inside my muscles and I always felt so relaxed afterwards.  In addition, she always asked what areas were bothering me and then she really focused on those areas.  Penny’s professionalism and personality were always top notch aspects I enjoyed, as well.“

“Penny Chelios is an outstanding massage therapist because (1) she has a deep knowledge of human anatomy, (2) she has technical skill to reach soft-tissue with the right touch and work out tension with use of pressure and moist heat applied appropriately, and (3) she has the interpersonal skills to listen to her clients and put them at ease.  Penny Chelios would be an outstanding candidate to teach deep-tissue massage.  I would recommend her without reservation.”

“I have had countless massages by professional massage therapists over the years. My goal has always been to find some relief from sore muscles – especially in the upper back area, and to a lesser extent, for my legs with an emphasis on the calves.  Most therapists do an adequate job of what many would call the ‘club rub’, but I usually left their tables without sufficient attention to the deep muscles where most of my soreness/problems resided.  Penny’s systematic dry massage, deep-tissue approach is really the only massage therapy that allowed me to leave the table knowing and feeling that my long-term aches and pains had been addressed so that I could move without pain and with fluidity.  I have found no other massage therapy that can favorably compare to Penny’s work.  I can’t recommend her approach and execution highly enough.“

“I have received massages from Penny Chelios for the past year.  Each experience has been great.  She asks about any muscle, or pain issues you may have before she starts.  She is also concerned about pain issues as the massage progresses.  She explains what she is doing and why, which is very helpful.  I wouldn’t even consider going to another person for a massage.  Penny is great and I have recommended her to several friends.“

“Penny is an absolutely outstanding massage professional!  The service she provides, the advice she gives, and most of all the techniques that she uses are truly at the highest standards of quality.  I have never received a better message in my life, and I am not kidding about that.  I have chronic neck and back pain and since I started going to Penny, my pain has decreased dramatically.  I talk about Penny’s massage so much that I think my husband is getting jealous.  Penny is wonderful!“

“Penny is a fantastic massage therapist.   She pays attention to your needs and has an amazing technique.   I have been to many therapists and have had many massages and Penny ranks above them all!   I would strongly recommend Penny for all of your Massage Therapy needs.“

“I have been receiving massages for eight years.  I used to have massages at Georgette Klinger.  I have had massages on a Disney cruise (excellent) and even once at the Tokyo Hilton (Japanese massage in July, 1981).  So you could say I am an expert on massages.  As one who has long suffered from osteoarthritis, I need a deep-tissue massage regularly.   Without question, Penny Chelios gives the BEST deep-tissue massage, EVER!  As she is working on me, I feel better.  When I get up from the table, I feel even better.  It is almost impossible to describe how much better my knee and shoulder (which have undergone replacement surgery) feel after a deep massage with Penny.  Now that my arthritis has spread to my neck, I am having massages for my neck and my shoulders, as well.  I cannot recommend Penny and her technique too highly.  Her hands are absolutely therapeutic.  Her treatments are essential to my health and well-being, especially as I am about to turn 69 years of age.  I shall continue to need her massages into my 70’s and recommend her to people I know.“

“I have had massages from Penny Chelios.  Her massage methods are wonderful.   She is my preferred therapist when having a massage.   I can’t describe her techniques because of lack of knowledge but I will describe my body”s response.   Penny is able to get the knots out and I feel much better for days.  She works the deep tissues. I highly recommend her.“
