A massage can mean so much more than relaxation. In addition to providing the mental and emotional benefits of relaxing, a skilled massage therapist can help the body heal and operate at its best. Among the potential benefits are improved circulation, decreased joint pain, and improved flexibility. This makes massage an important part of integrative medicine: as part of an overall health plan, it can make all the difference.
A massage can also mean more than manipulating the muscles. Different modalities offer different theories of care. Shiatsu, a method of bodywork first developed in Japan, utilizes acupressure, joint rotations, and stretches to heal the body, mind, and spirit.
Ronen Kohn, a graduate of the Zen Shiatsu Chicago school in Evanston, has worked with new mothers, clients living with diabetes, and chronic pain sufferers to provide relief. In December of 2024, Ronen set up shop at 1011 Lake Street, Suite 304 in Oak Park, under the name Worthy Bodywork & Healing.
Ronen is now welcoming clients who are ready to take a new step in their self-care and healing journeys — and, of course, relaxation is always on the table.
