The Meticulous Standard
About Meticulous Massage®
Meticulous Massage is a private bodywork studio in downtown Chicago specializing in intentional, corrective care.
Founded by Nedra R. Crosby, the practice was built to address what traditional massage often overlooks: precision, structure, and progression. Each session is guided by assessment and adjusted in real time as the body responds. Pressure is purposeful. Technique is disciplined. Care evolves over time.
The goal is not temporary comfort.
The goal is restoration.
The Method
Meticulous Massage focuses on:
• Releasing chronic tension patterns
• Improving mobility and structural
alignment
• Supporting nervous system regulation
• Addressing connective tissue
restrictions
• Creating measurable relief through
intentional care progression
Sessions are unhurried and highly responsive. No two treatments are identical, because no two bodies respond the same way.
The Experience
The studio operates by appointment only, offering a calm, controlled environment designed for focus and regulation. Enhancements such as infrared recovery and red light therapy are integrated strategically — not as spa luxuries, but as therapeutic tools.
Clients often describe the space as grounding, private, and restorative.
The Practitioner
Nedra R. Crosby is known for her attentive observation and ability to sense subtle shifts in the body during treatment. Her approach is detailed, steady, and guided by integrity.
Beyond her clinical work, Nedra is also the author of God-Led: God-Filled Poetry, a faith-based collection exploring discipline, healing, and spiritual maturity. While her writing is separate from her bodywork practice, both are rooted in intention and stewardship.
Who This Is For
Meticulous Massage is best suited for individuals who:
• Carry structural tension from
demanding work
• Prefer depth over surface-level
relaxation
• Value private, focused care
