My own resting place in Cheonan, a review of my visit to a single massage shop

These days, there have been days when my body is particularly heavy and I can't get rid of my fatigue. Since I spend a lot of time sitting in front of my desk all day, my shoulders are always stiff and my legs are numb. When I thought, "I want to get a proper massage at least once," a one-person massage shop in Cheonan recommended by an acquaintance came to mind.

At first, it was a little strange. It's not a large franchise massage shop, but a small shop run by a single manager. Will it be okay? What about hygiene? The atmosphere? I made a reservation with half-worried and half-anticipated feelings.

The shop was located in a quiet alley in Seobuk-gu, Cheonan. The exterior was simpler than I thought, but the moment I entered the door, I felt as if I had entered a different world. Subtle aroma, warm lighting, and calm music. The manager I met for the first time greeted me warmly and created a comfortable atmosphere as if I had met an acquaintance for a long time.

Before the massage, they meticulously asked me which part was stiff and what strength I wanted. It was not a one-way course, but it was good that it was customized according to my condition. I often have stiff shoulders and neck, so I asked for that part intensively.

The massage lasted about 90 minutes. It was a course centered on Swedish and lymph, and the touch was really soft and hard. It feels like the tension of the body is relieved one by one, not just the cool feeling. In particular, it was impressive that he took care of the calves, fingertips, and soles of the feet, which were not receiving much attention. It feels like "getting out the fatigue that was submerged under the water one by one."

Most of all, I liked the fact that it was a space for myself. That there are no other customers around me, that I can only focus on my body and mind. This is something that is never experienced in a large shop. During the massage, it was only for me, and it felt like a 'flee for a moment'.

The clock was past 9 p.m. before I knew it. When I got up from the massage, I felt light and warm. It felt like my body, which had been tired of my busy daily life, was telling me that it had rested really well. As I handed him a glass of warm water, the manager said, "Come again next time," with a smile. That word made me feel at ease.

I looked at the sky as I left the shop. On a night in Cheonan where the stars were clearly visible, I quietly made a commitment in my heart. 'From now on, let's take a little bit of time for me.'

Cheonan Single Shop. I recommend it to people like this

Who wants to be quietly managed in a personal space rather than a franchise

Anyone interested in Swedish, lymph, and aroma massages

If you want to recover from fatigue, heal, and relieve stress

Who wants to be efficiently managed without wasting time on reservation

Let's wrap this up

Cheonan has a wider variety of one-person shops than I thought. There are many busy streets such as Buldang-dong, Dujeong-dong, and Seongjeong-dong, and each has a slightly different concept and atmosphere. I was very satisfied with the places I went, but it will be a better experience if you carefully examine the reviews and choose the right shop for you.

These days, I want to rest because I'm tired, but many people wander because they don't know how to. So did I. The one-person massage parlor in Cheonan was a quiet comfort space for those people.

Just one hour spent for me, that time may make a bigger difference than I thought.
