The Chicago Stress Relief Center, Northbrook

As harbingers of stress, tension and worry are formidable foes—but they prove no match for the staff of the Chicago Stress Relief Center, Inc. Led by founder Dr. Howard K. Weissman, the team develops personalized plans for managing mental and physical ailments. They get help from the facility's soothing flotation tank and infrared sauna, and further aid takes the form of massage, as well as traditional psychotherapy sessions.
