Suzanne K. works as an intensive care unit nurse. Additionally, she is a certified fitness trainer and a yoga instructor. Her physically intensive work demands that her body function in peak condition. This is what she says about her experience at Steve Albertson Massage Therapy:
Suzanne K. - Glenview
“As an active and athletic person, my body has endured injuries both big and small. Two and a half years ago, I was referred to Steve Albertson as someone who could possibly help me with chronic tendonitis. He completed a thorough assessment and combined a myriad of techniques to develop a tailored massage for my needs. With regular massages and stretching as “homework assignments” my chronic tendonitis is a thing of the past. I continue to use Steve regularly because of his kind, compassionate nature, his passion for massage therapy, and his great understanding of anatomy and kinesiology.”
M.R. - Evanston
“I was suffering from plantar fasciitis and couldn’t even walk from my house to the curb. I went to Steve because I wanted to be able to dance at my daughter’s wedding. Not only did his therapeutic massages allow me to do that, but continued sessions have given me back my active life and I recently danced at my own 60th birthday party. Thank you Steve, for keeping me going.”
M.S.S. - Evanston
“After seeing orthopedic physicians, physical therapists, and a chiropractor who all were unable to provide relief or recovery from a debilitating shoulder injury, I landed on Steve's doorstep. I was scheduled for surgery, but worked with Steve in a last ditch effort to avoid the surgery and achieve a more natural recovery. Through his thoughtful blend of careful listening and highly accurate, expert healing touch, Steve relieved the pain and has helped me regain and maintain full function and mobility in my shoulder--NO SURGERY NECESSARY! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart”.
Problem Solving Through Massage
By Lisa Stein.
Steve Albertson’s passion for physiology, anatomy and healthcare grew during the years he worked as a fire department paramedic and healthcare-product researcher.
But it wasn’t until he experienced an injury that didn’t respond to conventional treatment that he decided to turn that knowledge and interest into a career in massage therapy.
In 1995 Albertson hurt his elbow and shoulder, which caused him excruciating pain.
He went to his doctor, who referred him to an orthopedic specialist. The specialist gave Albertson a steroid shot in the arm, which gave him immediate relief but wore off quickly.
“In a month I was in worse shape than before,” Albertson recalled.
He returned to his doctor and together they decided to come up with a different, holistic approach combining physical therapy, massage therapy and exercise with a personal trainer.
“I got all the different people who were treating me together and working as a team,” he said.
“That experience became my model for how I wanted to pursue treatment and what I wanted to do as a career.”
With that goal in mind, Albertson enrolled in the Chicago School of Massage Therapy, the Chicago area’s oldest massage school, where he received extensive training in various massage techniques.
He graduated in 1998 and soon after the school hired him to teach in its highly recognized diploma program. He worked on staff in several clinics and health clubs before launching his own practice in Evanston. His client list includes athletes of all ages, physicians, dancers, personal trainers, daycare workers, expectant mothers and children.
Today he specializes in treatments tailored to clients’ individual needs and physical concerns, especially for those looking for relief from pain or limited mobility.
“I apply my training as a paramedic and in healthcare research to my massage therapy practice by working in a problem-solving mode. I try to get to the root of the problem by asking a lot of questions and coming up with answers. Even when I do massages for pure relaxation I don’t use a cookie-cutter approach.”
Albertson continues to expand his knowledge and application of new massage techniques with interdisciplinary study.
He keeps up-to-date on advancements in neuromuscular therapy, active isolated stretching, myoskeletal technique, myofascial release, and prenatal and perinatal massage, among other treatment options.
During a session Albertson often recommends exercises to be done at home to optimize treatment.
He may also use anatomical models, including a three-dimensional computer software program, to explain issues to clients and help them visualize specific muscle groups.
All of Albertson’s techniques and tools stem from his desire to heal and empower his clients to care for themselves, combined with a profound appreciation of physiology.
“The more I learn about the human body the more I am in awe of it, how all the systems work together to keep us healthy and moving.”
