Milwaukee's Best Massage 414-899-1905

Treat Yourself & the People You Care About to Bliss, Relaxation and Deep Relief with a Full-Body Therapeutic Massage from Brian!

Meet Brian, owner, author and massage practitioner here at Milwaukee's Best MassageBrian is the owner of Milwaukee's Best Massage, and author of Escape Life Sucks Syndrome.

Brian holds a National Certification from the NCBTMB (National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork).

He also belongs to the American Massage Therapy Association as a professional member.

Introduced to the power of massage and touch therapy more than three decades ago, Brian has studied massage styles from across the globe.

In addition to hundreds of hours in personal research into energy work, positivity and massage techniques, Brian also has over 800 hours of formal massage therapy training and a diploma in Massage Therapy.

Brian is definitely not from the Midwest...

And you can probably figure that out right away. A native of South Florida, Brian's massages and philosophy reflect the progressive, vibrant, culture diversity of his home state.

He enjoys Milwaukee, even an occassional Guinness and Brat, but dislikes the boring selection of shoes available for men here. Brian will take a good massage over deer hunting or watching sports on TV any day of the year. :)

Brian's massages are not for everyone. In fact, if you prefer the "fluff n buff" type massages (the ones that feel as if they're barely touching you & skip the most important muscles groups) found in most spas and massage franchises, then Brian's intense style of therapeutic massage may be outside of your comfort zone.

But where else can you go to experience long, graceful movements across your whole body, yoga-like stretches, on-table work and light to ultra deep pressure designed to battle the effects of stress and pain?

And who else provides a sanctuary where you can you go to enjoy the added benefits of a heated massage table, music scientifically designed to relax you, hand mixed massage oils and therapeutic grade aromatherapy?

Brian works best with intelligent, forward thinking men and women who are comfortable with who they are, like the full body approach, love therapeutic massage and appreciate the deeper pressure and interactive massages Brian provides.

If you fit the above description then you'll appreciate this "enlightened Scorpio's" non-judgmental spirit, his encouragement, sense of humor and authentic desire to make you feel welcome. You'll also agree that Scorpios give the best massages! :)

Permission to let go...

Years of travel has enhanced Brian's natural ability to makes clients comfortable. With Brian, it's okay to let your guard down long enough to relax and unwind.

He lets you be yourself, and listens to you (if you choose to talk) while he works on your body. Or, you can just shut up and breath while Brian beats your trigger points into submission, bends you into a human pretzel and helps your body and mind to return to an optimal state of wellness.

As a result of his studies and hands-on experience, Brian created a signature massage approach that blends together the perfect environment (music, lighting, temperature, aromas) along with several massage styles.

"This is amazing! It's like going to spa, seeing a chiropractor, doing yoga, getting a massage, and having a therapy session all in a single visit....Plus, it's refreshing to be around someone with your energy and positive attitude. I really feel great!" - Mary

Escape Life Sucks Syndrome by Brian Norris, owner of Milwaukee's Best MassagePrior to opening Milwaukee's Best Massage, Brian spent over a decade as a professional speaker and life coach. He wrote Escape Life Sucks Syndrome in 2008 to help people get through the challenges they face daily.

He spent time traveling the United States (he's been to all 50 states) and Canada teaching audiences how to remain positive in an increasingly negative world and combat complacency with creativity.

Brian believes that chronic pain is often the result of energy imbalances and unresolved issues. These imbalances and memories manifest themselves in your muscles and get worse the longer they are ignored.

Through guided breathing, muscles stripping, stretching, muscle palpation and active visualization Brian helps you to let go and be more aware of the people or events draining you.

Brian offers the rare blend of soothing deep pressure, Thai styles stretches, mixed with a special touch that reassures, relaxes and reaffirms.

His big hands, confidence, positive demeanor and empathic, healing touch provides men and women with a customized experience that is restorative and immediately addicting.

Based on your needs, Brian may choose to include: On-table Asian Massage, Yoga Style Stretching, Swedish Massage, LomiLomi, Acupressure, Trigger Point Therapy, Reflexology, Polarity Therapy, Sport Massage & Energy Work.

Brian's massages are therapeutic on so many different levels; physically, mentally and spiritually. He makes you feel more alive and provides the escape you need for deal with stress and overload.

As a massage therapist, Brian offers men and women the best custom full-body massages, 4-hand massage, corporate chair massage and hot stone massage.

In addition to providing the best traditional couples massages in Milwaukee , Brian instructs couples privately. His unique Alternating Couples Massage gives couples an opportunity to learn how to massage each other! It is the ultimate couples therapy and a great idea for an innovative date with that special someone.

A massage that includes all of your most important musclesBrian's core massage sessions include...

Full-Body Relaxation Massage - Brian's unique blend of relaxation styles are designed to put your entire body at ease, and help your mind to shut off long enough to let go.

These types of massages are excellent for stress management, dealing with depression and anxiety. They are also ideal for promoting better circulation, energy flow and full-body restoration.

Brian's signature massages often employ LomiLomi, Swedish Style Massage and even on-table Thai Massage to get to stubborn muscles, open up energy centers, and rid your body of tension.

This is usually a full-body massage (all the parts that are legal). It's a total body experience that gets all of the important muscles groups, including your:

  • gluteus (buttock) muscles
  • abdomen (stomach) muscles
  • thigh and calf muscles
  • neck and shoulder muscles
  • pectoral (chest) muscles
  • arms, hands and feet
  • face and scalp

So if you are shy about your body, or are recovering from trauma that affected your ability to receive or enjoy touch, please let us know prior to start of the massage so that we can adjust the session to better suit you.

As part of the initial intake interview, you are always given the opportunity to specify any muscles groups or areas you prefer not to be massaged.

Draping (covering your genitals and breasts with a sheet or large towel) is always used to ensure modesty, boundaries between client and therapist and your complete comfort.

Sports Massage - Sport Massage is designed for those who compete/workout and need to sooth muscle aches and pains, plus speed recovery after sporting competitions or rigorous exercise. This type of massage seldom uses extra deep pressure since muscles are often fatigued after an event.

Prenatal Massage - Mothers-to-be love Brian's compassionate, healing touch. He gives your changing body the attention it needs through all stages of pregnancy.

RATES FOR FULL-BODY RELAXATION, PRENATAL & SPORTS MASSAGE:

  • 60-minute massage - $70
  • 90-minute massage - $95
  • 2-hour massage- $130

The right style and pressure for you!Deep Tissue - Our deepest and most intense massage. You get lots of pressure and therapeutic massage. Expect plenty of well placed elbows and forearms to reduce your muscle pain and fatigue.

If you are a "thicker" or "larger" person then you will probably need a deep-tissue massage since more pressure is required to get to your muscles.

Unlike full body massages, Deep Tissue massages generally focus on specific areas of your body that need the most attention.

Deep Tissue massages can be blended to include lighter touch, energy work and LomiLomi.

Brian's deep tissue massages may also include:

  • Trigger point therapy (extended deep pressure on the muscle bellies of tight muscles to prompt the stress to "let go")

  • Muscle stripping (concentrated massage along the length of a stressed muscle or tendon), the use of Asian massage approaches

  • And a variety of active and passive stretching to relieve specific muscles that are causing your pain and discomfort.

RATES FOR DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE:

  • 60-minute deep tissue - $90
  • 90-minute deep tissue - $120
  • 2-hour deep tissue - $170

"I'm always a bit cautious when anyone or anything claims to be the BEST - but this time I needn't be. Brian really does provide the best massage I've had in years. I arrived in Milwaukee in early November with the names of a few massage therapists, but after visiting Brian I threw the other names away and booked another session with him.

He's personable, friendly, provides an absolutely wonderful, professional massage and when he smiles his eyes light up too. If I lived in the area, I'd be a regular. Thanks Brian!" - Gerry
