Keep doing what matters to you.
Private bodywork · Downtown Chicago
You know when your body is changing the way you live. You reach differently. You adjust how you sleep. You work around the shoulder, the stiffness, the movement that no longer feels comfortable. At Meticulous Massage®, those details deserve attention.
I’m Nedra R. Crosby, LMT. I begin by understanding what you’re experiencing, how you move, and what you want to do more comfortably. Assessment continues throughout your care. What I notice, what you feel, and how your body responds guide where we work and how we proceed.

A focused way to begin.
Focused Reset
If there’s one concern you want to give attention to, we’ll start with what you want to do more comfortably and use the hour to focus on it. Open to new and returning clients.
Focused Recalibration™ makes room for one focused visit each month. We can pick up with what changed since your last session and adjust the work to what matters now.

Care that starts with attention
A session shaped by your body.
You may come because something hurts, because movement feels different, or because you want to care for your body before discomfort demands attention. A Meticulous Massage® begins with what you report, what I observe, and how your body responds as we work.
The recommended first visit
Structural Reset™
If stiffness keeps changing how you reach, sleep, or move, this is my recommended starting point for most new clients. We have time to talk about what you want to do more comfortably, work across the areas that matter to that goal, and check what feels different as we go.
The Meticulous Method
I don’t guess. I assess.
I provide firm, thorough deep tissue massage, applying myofascial release and trigger point techniques where needed within your session. Ongoing assessment guides how I select and combine techniques, with pressure, pace, and focus adapted to your body’s response.
Where you feel discomfort matters. It may also be part of a larger pattern. I pay attention to relationships across the body and choose techniques according to what is useful in the moment.
Firm, thorough deep tissue care. Pressure and technique responsive to you and your body, without force. You don’t have to hurt to heal.

Meet the founder
The luxury is being paid attention to.
I’m Nedra R. Crosby, LMT. I created Meticulous Massage® so the person receiving care would always matter more than a routine. In this private practice, your preferences are heard, your body is observed, and your session has room to change course.
That level of attention is what the name Meticulous means to me.
In their words
Client Reflections
One client who had sought massage for shoulder concerns for years reported greater comfort and improved left-arm movement after two visits, including participation in assisted pull-ups. That was his experience. Your care begins with yours.
