Delos Therapy

I had been suffering from plantar fasciitis for close to a year. Tried a couple routes — taking it easy from certain workouts, seeing a pediatrist. Nothing worked. One package of sessions with Lia, and now I’m foot pain free! Highly recommend, especially Lia!

One word describes Lia: AMAZING!
I’ve had lower back problems for over 10 years and seeing Lia has helped tremendously. This is not your typical massage, think massage on steroids:)
Recommend for any athlete, chronic pain sufferer, or anyone looking to give yourself a muscle tuneup.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

I had been struggling with knee pain and muscle atrophy/​weakness from a nagging injury. Progress from physical therapy was at a standstill and on top of that, being pregnant made recovery more challenging.
I heard about Delos through Shred415 and decided to try it out through a Gilt special. After 1 – 2 sessions, I felt a difference in my quad, like it finally woke up. The way my muscles responded to the therapy was exactly what I had been looking for.
In addition, Delos has also been tremendously helpful in managing some of the nagging pains from pregnancy. There are very few medications that pregnant women can take and this helped with the growing stresses to my hip, glut, and lower back.
I can’t say enough good things about Lia, who is a talented and caring therapist. She worked with my multiple pain areas and encouraged me to stay positive about recovery. If you aren’t sure about what this treatment can do for you, I highly recommend going in for a consultation.

You know when you have a muscle knot so tight you can feel it kinda click around? That’s what I had in my upper back, for, like, years. Lia was able to really work it out and alleviate a lot of upper back soreness. Also, I am prone to pulling my low back muscle and this time I had that worked on and felt so much better, really cut recovery time. It’s intense but def worth it. This body work has been a real lifesaver. Really recommend for sport related strains and tightness.

This place is a GODSEND.
I never was «athletic» as a child or teenager. In the last 2 years I decided to turn my fitness up a notch, well my body was not ready for that change and I really got injured with hamstring strains and hip issues. I was in PT last year for over 5 months which was not only time consuming, but expensive. And it did not really help once I got back on the treadmill.
Frustrated after nearly 7 months of pain, Enter Delos.
The combo of Lia and Ryan, I was able to figure out a plan with their treatment, things to do at home, and how to incorporate a healthy, and safe way to return back to my most favorite activities.
Both IT bands, BOTH hamstrings, BOTH hip flexors and Both Glutes… talk about a pain in my ass… literally…and then shin splints/​calf tightness were worked on. Yeah, believe it or not, sometimes they can do the entire front and back of both legs in 25 minutes… you stand up and boom tightness GONE. pain, decreased.
While it’s not the most relaxing «massage», it sure as hell has been extremely helpful. Finally after months of finding the right balance, I’m pain free. And it feels amazing. The best part, Ryan and Lia, actually ENJOY seeing their clients improve. They come up with plans with you to help you help yourself, suggest things you can do at home, or how to incorporate other activities while you are trying to recover. They actually KNOW not only what they are doing, but body mechanics, anatomy, and a lot more than most.
I really think Delos is an amazing place for athletes or fitness freaks that like to go hard at the gym, and with regular maintenance, you really keep your body from tightening up and getting injured.
A couple of other tips: Book ahead of time, they book up fast. Both Ryan and Lia are AMAZING, it’s nice to have a mix to have someone else work on you to get your injured area from different aspects. Parking IS FREE on the street. Oh and if you see a gilt city deal, GO GET IT. It’s such a steal!

I had several sessions with both Ryan and Lia and both of their knowledge, techniques and personalities are wonderful.
They helped me relieve chronic pain I had been having in my hip and gave me knowledge in how to strength and bring awareness about how I move in everyday life so I don’t have the continued pain. And this is coming from a yoga instructor who is very body aware already!

I started feeling better after my very first appointment with Lia and I cannot possibly say enough positive things about her skills, compassion, knowledge, and eagerness to get to the root of my injury and help fix it. I am extremely grateful to her for her talent and the genuine care that she shows toward her clients. I came in with a mess of tightness around my hip muscles and legs that were causing pain when I sat, slept, and especially when I jumped (Basically, I couldn’t). After only a few sessions, I could hop again and my pain began to subside. Lia works with me at each appointment to assess where things are and which muscles are the biggest culprits in causing my pain. It’s been like cleaning up rubble after a big earthquake: Lia helps clear the wreckage with each appointment so I can get closer to my foundation again. I look forward to my appointments — not only because I know that I will come out feeling at least a little bit better after each one — but also because I know that I am in excellent hands! I am very grateful for Lia and Delos Wellness and I strongly believe that I would still have relentless pain limiting my movement if I hadn’t walked through that door. Lia is skilled, focused, supportive, caring, and simply exceptional.

If I could recommend any place to find healing touch, knowledgable staff, and professional services it would be Delos wellness. My experience with them has been exceptional from start to finish. Lia was my therapist and she possesses a wealth of knowledge and experience that helped me heal the injuries I had in my body. I couldn’t be happier with the final outcome of my sessions. I truly feel this staff cares for me as a person and will be dedicated to see any of their clients through a complete wellness transformation in their body from start to finish. Thank you Lia for your kindness and healing hands.

Lia is a healer. I’ve had pain in my wrist for 5 years. After 12 sessions with Lia, my PAIN WAS GONE. She was generous with her knowledge and skill. She was able to explain things to me so that I understood where my pain was coming from, and was so deeply invested in my care that I felt safe and empowered to speak honestly about my pain. I finally felt like there was someone actually listening to my body. Seriously, anyone who has any kind of chronic pain MUST see her. She is like a shining healing orb of positivity.

I cannot say enough good things about Delos Wellness in Lincoln Park. I went for help with my tight neck, shoulders, and lower back. Not only have I felt immense relief after only six sessions, but I’m noticing a huge difference in my posture, my mood, and my workouts. I feel like I have my body back, I’m waking up without headaches, and, for the first time, I’m not constantly needing to snap, crack, and adjust my back every ten minutes. Lia is basically a Jedi. She is intuitive, compassionate, professional, and generous with her time, attention, and energy. If you’re even thinking about it– do it.

Lia is a rockstar. Extremely knowledgeable, compassionate and tailors her work to the individual’s specific needs/​goals. I highly recommend her work!

What I like most about Lia was her ability to be present and very focused during the treatment. After a few treatments with her I was able to have more motion with my shoulder and less pain. She also recommended exercises I could practice in my home.
