TaiChi Bodywork Center — Local services in Philadelphia

Best massage for the best price anywhere. I'm taking off a star because on more than one occasion, my experience has been disrupted by other customers. Each table is set inside a "stall" The stalls are separated by folding wood and fabric privacy screens. That's pretty much the only thing separating your experience from the person in the next stall. So if the guy or gal on another table wants to have a phone conversation or falls asleep and starts to snore, you will hear it. I've been here many times and have not heard another person but a two or three visits were made uncomfortable because other customers are rude.

As for the massage, it's always great. If deep tissue hard pressure is what you need, the massage here is ideal. I always leave feeling loose and any cramps or stresses are gone. As of today, one hour is $50 plus tip. If you don't tip, expect the masseuse to ask for one. If you tip small, expect the masseuse to ask for more. $10 to $15 is the norm. I have been to other Chinese massages and the tip thing is consistent. They have no problem letting you know they expect a tip. I think that it's part of the business no matter where you get a massage so just do the right thing.

Parking can be a problem in Manayunk. Street parking is cheap but not many spots are around. There are plenty of lots with varying prices. No free parking is...

I have had the pleasure of visiting TaiChi Bodywork Center a couple times - the emphasis here is clearly on providing a great value massage, and they do just that! It is very affordably priced. For $60, I enjoyed a full 60-minute massage, which is a fantastic deal compared to many other places. The staff speak mainly Chinese, which I do as well, and I can certainly appreciate that there may be some difficulty in communication for clients with language differences. This did not significantly affect the overall experience for my friends who came and didn't speak Chinese, but it's something to be aware of if you have specific preferences or concerns to address during your session. Mainly, the two questions they'll ask you is how long (60 vs 90 min) and how deep.

In conclusion, if you're looking for a no-frills massage that offers great value for your money, TaiChi Bodywork Center is an excellent choice. Despite the minor language barrier, their efficient service and affordable pricing make it a worthwhile experience. I left feeling relaxed and satisfied, and I will be returning for another...

I came here because the guy said they did lymphatic massages. I went in there for my arms because I got arm Lipo and It look like I got fibroses so I told the lady I needed my arms only. She started rubbing on my whole body then I had to remind her it was only for my arms. So when she got to my arms she started rubbing it like I was a baby. No compression from her or nothing. She did not temp to bend her fingers what so ever to do a real typical massage. Her hands was open flat the whole entire 30 minutes rubbing up and down my arms. I could of got my 8 year old niece to do this for me at home. So I ended it early. I was suppose to have a hour but I ended it in 30 minutes then she try to charge me 60 bucks. I told her no I only did 30 minutes. Then she changed it and said ok give me 40$. Terrible experience....
