"After a tiring day, I get a massage in Pyeongtaek" — Pyeongtaek massage experience and recommendations

After a busy day, there are times when my body feels as heavy as ever. In particular, fatigue builds up when you work or live in a city with dense industrial complexes and heavy traffic, such as Pyeongtaek. After spending such a day, I also experienced an unexpected healing at a massage shop in downtown Pyeongtaek that I came across. Through this experience, I want to share the story of Pyeongtaek massage with more people.

Pyeongtaek is a hidden place for massage?

Although it is relatively less known than large cities such as Seoul and Suwon, Pyeongtaek has a surprisingly developed massage industry. The reason is clear. This is because various industrial facilities such as the Samsung Semiconductor Pyeongtaek Campus, the U.S. military base (Camp Humphreys), and Pyeongtaek Port and the area where there is a lot of foreign inflow. Against this background, massage shops have also emerged competitively, and the quality of service has also improved considerably.

One time, I visited a massage shop near Pyeongtaek Station on the recommendation of a friend. From the entrance, a subtle aroma was spread, and quiet music flowed, making me forget the bustle of the city center. In particular, thanks to the clean interior and the guidance of friendly staff, I felt trust from the first impression.

Massages are not everything

Most Pyeongtaek massage shops offer a variety of massage options. Typical ones are as follows.

Aroma Massage: Effective for fatigue recovery and mental and physical stability. Gently warm up with natural oils.

Swedish massage: It features a pressure that penetrates deep into the muscles, and it is excellent for relaxing tense muscles.

Thailand Massage: A combination of stretching and acupressure, you can even expect exercise effects.

Lymph massage: a management method that helps remove edema and improve circulation, which is popular with female customers.

The massage I received was a 90-minute swede. The feeling of gently using oil but carefully releasing your back, shoulders, and legs with deep pressure was the complete "rest" I've experienced in a long time. Especially when you close your eyes while taking a massage, time passes. When I woke up afterwards, I felt much lighter and comfortable as if I had slept well.

a service that even foreigners are satisfied with

Pyeongtaek has many massage shops that can communicate in English due to the nature of U.S. military bases and foreign companies. Information brochures and menus are also provided in English, and some shops also operate discount promotions exclusively for foreigners. So, even if you take a foreign friend, you can use it together without much inconvenience. As an international city, massage culture also has a global atmosphere.

Price and Accessibility

One of the biggest advantages of Pyeongtaek massage is its reasonable price. In Pyeongtaek, you can get a high-end massage that costs more than 100,000 won in Gangnam, Seoul, at around 60,000 won to 80,000 won. Of course, it varies depending on the time of day, the size of the shop, and the career of the therapist, but it is generally very cost-effective.

Even if you use public transportation, massage shops are concentrated near major stations such as Pyeongtaek Station, Songtan Station, and Anjung, so it is also accessible. There are many shops with parking spaces, so there is no inconvenience for users of their own cars.

Precautions Before Using Massage

It is important to carefully examine the reviews when choosing a massage shop. It is most obvious to see the evaluation of real users through local communities, Naver Place, or Kakao Maps. In addition, some businesses operate abnormally for the purpose of massage, so it is advisable to use a sound massage shop that is officially registered.

And depending on your health condition, massage may be rather burdensome. If you have high blood pressure, skin trouble, discs, or surgical history, it is recommended to consult sufficiently in advance and to convey relevant precautions to the therapist in advance.

Finishing: Massages aren't luxury, they're maintenance

The massage experience I received in Pyeongtaek made me think of self-management, not just luxury. The fact that massage alone can improve muscle clumping, headache from stress, and insomnia, which cannot be resolved even if you exercise regularly, is a bigger merit than expected.
