    Chicago Touch

    1335 W. Lake St, Chicago, IL 60607
    Chicago Touch opened in 2006 with a combination of high quality bodywork and affordable rates. With more than a dozen therapists offering a spectrum of modalities, we have, since opening, completed 30,000 hours of stress reduction services for over 7,000 people. After four years in a very simple environment, we relocated to our new, upscale facility last year. Many of our clients purchase our bulk package of 500-minutes of service for $480. That results in a 20% discount off our regular rate of $60 for a one-hour appointment (a 50-minute session). While affordability makes us more accessible, quality of service is what prompts return visits. We consistently focus on maintaining and improving the quality of our overall service and environment.
