The knot in your shoulder comes back every time you stretch it out. Or an old injury never fully cleared up. Or you have managed the same ache for years and nobody has told you why.
A relaxing massage will not fix that. You need someone who assesses what is actually going on, then treats it with precision.
I am Shatavia Hill, LMT, a licensed clinical massage therapist at True Health Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Lombard, IL. I treat injuries, chronic pain, and restricted movement with neuromuscular therapy, trigger point release, and myofascial work, in coordination with our doctors.

Clinical Massage, Not Just Relaxation
Relaxation has its place. But when pain keeps coming back, you need a plan.
Every clinical massage visit starts with an assessment. I look at how you move, where your body is compensating, and which tissues are driving the problem. Then I choose the technique that fits.
I use neuromuscular therapy, trigger point release, and myofascial work to restore functional movement and support long-term recovery. You will know what I found and why I am treating it.
Built Alongside Your Chiropractic Care
I work collaboratively with the doctors at True Health. Joints and soft tissue affect each other. When they are treated under one plan, we fix the problem instead of chasing it.
What I Help With Most Often
- Muscle tension and trigger points that keep coming back
- Injury rehabilitation and restoring functional movement
- Chronic pain patterns that built up over months or years

- Soft-tissue support alongside chiropractic care
My Background
Before joining True Health, I served in the U.S. Navy as a surgical technician. That work demands precision, discipline, and close coordination with a medical team. I bring the same standard to every visit.

Patient Questions About Shatavia Hill, LMT
What is a clinical massage therapist?
A clinical massage therapist uses assessment-driven soft-tissue techniques to treat specific problems like pain, injury, and restricted movement. The goal is a result you can feel in how you move, not just an hour of relaxation.
What techniques do you use?
I use neuromuscular therapy, trigger point release, and myofascial work. I choose the technique based on what your assessment shows, not a set routine.
Do you work with the chiropractors at True Health?
Yes. I work collaboratively with our doctors. Your massage plan is built alongside your chiropractic care so everyone is working on the same root cause.
Who is clinical massage for?
Anyone with muscle pain that keeps coming back, an injury that never fully cleared up, or chronic pain they are tired of managing. If you want a plan instead of a one-off massage, this is for you.

We start with your story and a clinical assessment before any hands-on work. I explain what I find, what the plan is, and what progress should look like.

Ready to work on the real problem?
