Blind Massage in Beijing

Admit it—cheap massages are one of your favorite things about living in China. After a long day of work, relaxing is the only thing you desire. There are many options available for massage and spa in Beijing. The foot bath massage is Beijing’s specialty. Nothing could be more enjoyable than a foot reflexology after a whole day work.

Being disabled in China is as in so many other countries without much social security and inequality problems, one of the worst things. There are not many jobs, quite a view end up as beggars or worse. So the possibility to get a massage education in the big cities is definitely a good thing. Traditional treatment from a blind masseuse can still be found in several places in Beijing.

Suhang Blind Massage 苏杭盲人按摩

As with most blind massage parlours, Suhang doesn’t do soothing rub-downs. You go to Suhang for a thorough muscle battering at the hands of trained blind massage therapists. The modest and clinical set-up – eight beds spread across two rooms – may well leave you with little-to-no privacy, but you’re not here to gossip. You’re here to be fixed. The silence is only broken by the mutterings of massage therapists fretting over the state of your decrepit body or enquiring after your wellbeing, and gasps from fellow patients as the masters hit their mark.

Go for Full Body Massage (RMB80/ 60 mins). Not for the faint-hearted. The skilled therapist meticulously examines your body, targeting all your sore spots while finding a few new ones you didn’t even know you had. Don’t be surprised if you receive the odd elbow as part of the therapist’s toolkit.

Open Hours: 9 am – 11:30 pm daily

Location: 9 Gongti Dong Lu

Amenities are basic but comfortable, with a selection of private and group rooms available. The massage therapists are friendly and know how to work their way around pressure points. Go for Body and Foot Massage (RMB 158/120 mins). You’re in it for the long haul with this one, so just sit back and enjoy the ride. The smiling massage therapists might look gentle but they don’t mess around, carefully working their way down from head to toe, concentrating on your problem areas.
