Reviews of Pain Away of Philly --- Chinese Medical Massage

Andrea M

First time here, I’m new in Philly. My standard for massages is high since I’ve been in south east Asia where Thai and Balinese massages are only $10 USD! I’ve been looking for a place that is just as high quality at a reasonable price. I found it here at pain away in Chinatown, a very unassuming place from the outside. My right shoulder had been in pain for weeks from sleeping incorrectly, it would hurt to move my arm in normal ways. It was interrupting my daily life. I came here for a Tui Na massage which is hard to find elsewhere. They warmly welcomed me (I was early) and in 60 minutes I could feel a lot of release, healing and relaxation. The room is simple but clean and comfortable. The pain in my shoulder was completely gone and I was so happy that a massage from here was medicine to my body! I will be back for sure (going to make it a monthly thing) and I highly recommend. The massages here are not just massages, they feel like a tune up of your body

The best ever massage I have ever experienced. Very professional. Deep tissue , have very good knowledge with pressure points. 10/10 they really take your pain away :)

Justin Shelley (Massage Therapist)

I work as a massage therapist. I've been here three times, so I recognize high-quality work when I see it. They are excellent at bodywork, but when I went in for a massage that was supposed to include work on my neck, they completely ignored it. Aside from that, I can't think of a better massage I've ever had. It has my highest recommendation. You have my highest recommendation. The employees are all very nice, and the methods they use are cutting-edge and highly effective. I know I'm getting the best service possible with Pain Away massage therapist.

I lived in Shanghai for four years and this was by far the best Chinese massage I’ve ever had. A lot better than in China, imagine that. Unbelievable 90 minutes for $100 dollars. Take cash… otherwise you’ll be charged $108 from get go on your credit card.

Lisa Nakamura

Ask for jimmy! I got a better facial here than at ten thousand waves in Santa Fe. The massage itself was more like physical therapy than a normal massage, so good! He is super intuitive and can tell what hurts and how to fix it. Can’t recommend enough. I’m glad they charge a decent amount because it’s worth it but please tip a lot.

Candy Penelope

I’ve had a massage from Eva that changed my life. This place is amazing! The massages aren’t designed to “feel good!” They’re meant to relieve pain and heal. Today is the first morning in over a year that I didn’t wake up with back pain. I will return! My only qualm is the noise level. The employees were a little loud with there conversations outside the massage room. To be honest, the massage was so good , I’m just going to bring head phones because I refuse to try anyone else I

Best massage experience I have ever have in Philly or in general, in US. Not only the massage helped me to sleep, but also gave me a period to relax. Make sure you wear your underwear, cuz sometimes they need to massage depends on different conditions. I am sure you won't regret it.

Suzanne Brown

Hands down best deep tissue massage In Philly. Every time I get a massage (and I get a lot of massages) I have to ask for harder pressure and still don’t receive it. They checked with me right away and they delivered. There were a few moments I thought I might die, but omg it was absolutely incredible!

Lauren Collier

Great massage. However, I asked for reflexology. I definitely did not get reflexology despite saying it multiple times. I still give it a high rating because the massage was great, but It is not what I wanted or kept asking for.

Tucker Tavarone

It’s expensive and worth every penny. There was a bit of pain and we didn’t discuss the massage prior to starting, but afterwards I felt so much better. Not all my back pain went away, so I’ll go back for a few more sessions. I also recommend cupping!

J Hebner

every time i come here it’s the best massage of my life. HIGHLY recommend. could not recommend more. lovely staff and the techniques they use are stellar. i know im getting the most informed and practiced massage in town.

Aakanksha Smriti

I'm a regular customer. Service depends on the masseuse, but I have usually returned happy, relaxed and pain free.

Siddarth Gautam

Loved the massage. The masseuse didn’t understand English but did a great job at identifying tight spots and really dug in. Comparatively pricey but I would visit again!

Alene Bulack

I love Pain Away! I have been getting tui na massage and cupping here for back and wrist pain and it’s been more helpful for my injuries than physical therapy was. I look forward to trying Gua sha and acupuncture once my back is healthy enough. Thank you Bin and Cindy!! 🙏 …

Erin Andreassi

Had a very relaxing 60-minute foot massage! Staff were welcoming and pleasant and the atmosphere is lovely. Can’t wait to come back!

Rosine Tempest

Fun friendly and gets to suggest the best massage for your pain and budget. Very easy going people as well. Relaxed environment!!

Shantel “Shannie” Bey

This place is very pleasant and relaxing! I received a deep tissue massage for a hr and a half and my body feels so relaxed! The staff does a wonderful job and they're kind. Will definitely continue to come back.

Magdalena Wszelaki

This is the REAL deal if you want a therapeutic massage that releases fascia and knots that are the underlying reason for pains and aches. It was NOT a relaxing massage but I feel now like $1 million bucks - my neck and middle back pain are gone. I so regret not living in Philly or else I would go there weekly.

Peggy Chen

It’s a really clean and enjoyable place! They played some relaxing music during the session🎶 The masseur was also really nice! The 60 minutes session went past real quick and I enjoyed it the entire time👍🏻 ($1 per minute which is a reasonable price) …

Alisa A

This place is fantastic! We came in for foot massage after all day walking and my feet were so happy ! Highly recommend this place ❤️

Judy Ha

Really top notch work. Very intensive and through massage. I have had massages in many different states and they do an amazingly skilled job. The deep pressure feels like they are digging into the years of my pain. I have had different massage therapists and they are all so nice and great for different reasons. Very observant and attentive to what I need. They are legit healers. I try to come here as much as I can. I've been here like six times and it really helps get me through hard work days. Don't forget to tip well, it's hard service to provide especially during a pandemic. There's also a sign out front "the only happy ending we give is pain relief." They are experts at managing and identifying and healing pain.

Xiuqi YANG

I have been to so many massage shops in China but the massage I had in this store is really outstanding. Nancy (Yanzi)'s service is the best! After a one-hour with her my headache and backache have relieved a lot. I will definitely return to this shop when I need a massage.

Ekaterina Nekrasova

The massage here relieved a lot of the tension and knots. I feel great and relaxed afterwards, like I can even breathe better. Great experience, I will be back. I came for a 1h deep tissue massage which I believe incorporsted the techniques from the Tui Na traditional Chinese massage as well. For the first part of the experience I was massaged through a sheet with a good amount of pressure (which I liked) applied to points where I had a lot of tension and knots. For the 2nd part I was asked if I wanted to have some oil applied and was massaged directly on my skin. The session was completed with the adjustments to my neck and back. I felt that the therapist knew all of the points extremely well and used a variety of techniques to help my body relax. He was also very professional and I felt respected and safe the whole time. At the end of the session I went for a free 30min sauna session and was even provided with some clothes to wear in the sauna and a towel. $70+22% tip for this experience were definitely worthy to me! I will be back and I might try some other treatments as well. There is an ATM inside, so if you don't want to pay an 8% fee for credit/debit card transaction I recommend either bringing cash or usingg an ATM. If you have any injuries or preferences for pressure I recommend just bringing it up before the session

Bettina Tranquille

Nice calm environment in the middle of Chinatown and great massage. Will definitely be back

Sabrina Kiamilev

Soooo good!! I took my mom here and we both got massages and cupping done. It was such a great combo. I’d been having a lot of back pain and tightness, and I felt so much needed relief after. My mom loved it as well, we couldn’t stop raving about the whole experience. Highly recommend!

Natasha Kung

My deep tissue massage was just what I needed! The place was very clean and the masseuse made sure to ask if the pressure was okay when she went a bit harder. Definitely will be back!

Yuewei Yuan

My friend and I went on a Sunday afternoon, and it was pretty busy. We had to wait 5-10min even with an appointment. However, it was definitely worth the wait. They have really authentic Chinese Tuina massage. Nancy was super professional and knowledgeable. She not only helped me with my neck/shoulder/back pain but was also able to offer me a lot of personalized suggestions on food and lifestyle

Jennifer Chadukiewicz

My husband and I made an appointment for couples massage. We arrived and greeted at the door. we were welcomed in and offered tea and water. It was very clean! We were early for our appointment and the accommodated is as soon as the room was cleaned. My husband had Bin and I had Jimmy (I think) the physicality of the work was perfect. Highly recommended

King Kareem

My female friend had reccomend this place and spoke highly of it, she told me that her visit included a shower & was very therapeutic. I read online about the sauna was to relax your muscles before the massage. I booked my appointment for 4pm, I arrived early at my arrival, I was not offered a drink, nor shower, just shown to room to undress and then massaged. I requseted a hour massage it included oil & hot stones. There was no focus on my legs and feet during my massage , which is a major part for me since I labor working on my feet for hours. I had to request an additional 20 min for a foot massage. It was okay for what it was nothing to rave about. I still tipped $10. Maybe if I visit again I will request a thorough service of what I want and expect. I have no problem paying for what I want, I just want it to be worth it.

Richard Cassell

Rare gem in the city. To call this a massage parlor would be an understatement. It's a therapeutic experience with highly skilled body workers. Chinese style remedies, chiropractic expertise and custom treatments. Really reasonably priced for the service and ability of the people there!

Kanishka Wijesekara (Kanishka)

Had lower back and hip pain so I called to see the doctor here. The lady gave asked me to stretch in different directions and point out which positions gave the most pain. She recommended the medical massage. The interior is very spacious and clean. I was asked to lie down on the table face down and my masseuse Jack gave me a great therapeutic massage. He even walked on my back, cracking a few right knots that felt good. He used a medicinal oil which warmed my back. After the massage I opted for Chinese cupping, popularized by Micheal Phelps and other swimmers here in the US. It's not painful at all but it does leave large round hickeys that would stay for about a week. I'd recommend this place as I felt much better afterwards.

Kimberly Konnoth

Edited: 5 stars, once I understood the reason for the smell (one of the treatments, not cigarettes.) Leaving my review below though, in case someone who is sensitive to smoke wanted to visit. Such an INCREDIBLE massage, but smells like cigarettes. I'm so excited that I found a place in Philly. I have chronic pain, and it's nice to know that I can find relief at this place. Only criticism, and reason I took off a star, is the smell. It STINKS like cigarettes, to the point that my boyfriend smelled it on me when I got home. I'm really sensitive to smell, and the cigarette smell in this place was pretty awful. Side note - I wasn't told about the sauna or other services that are supposed to come w the massage (I did the 90 minute $100 one with Andy), including hot towel, peppermint scalp massage, etc.

Lexi Reynolds

Deep tissue massage that cured years of pain in 70 minutes. Amazing and magical place

Rod Coplin

Great staff, and awesome technique across the board. I’ve been a regular for some time now and they’ve never failed me. Call ahead to see if they are busy or schedule an appointment. Gets really busy so it’s best to give them a heads up. Definitely recommend! I tell everyone about this place.

Carlie Ostrom

Very good massage and service. I came the day after my second COVID shot when I was in lot of physical discomfort. I feel significantly better after leaving here. I will go back again! My only critique: it’s not very relaxing how much the staff talks, clanks around and makes noises since the individual massage rooms are only separated by curtains, not real walls.

Jan Klincewicz

I guess I'll see how I feel tomorrow, but I had one sore vertebra in my upper back, but this morning my entire spine is sore. The massage table I was giving was missing some padding, so now my sternum is bruised as well. Waiting room was comfortable and attractive but forget a glass of cold water.. maybe it's a massage thing but all the water available was warm.

kathy sam

Best experience I ever had at a massage place, better then hand & stone! This is crazy to say but they put in work, & also alittle chiropractic experience the workers had it was absolutely amazing!! I’m definitely coming again

Adriann D. Cyr

This is a fantastic establishment. The people here really care about you and your needs. I won’t go anywhere else. The place is EXTREMELY clean. In this day and age, it’s a must and they do such a great job. There is never anything dirty laying around and everything looks as though it comes from a magazine. I come out feeling fantastic. They really care about your health and well-being. Coming from the country, in Maine, cities freak me out. In this establishment, I don’t feel crowded in the sense that I am in a city. It’s incredibly quiet so you can enjoy your massage in peace. Like i said above, I will NEVER go anywhere else.

Aiting Wang-Wolf

Finally found a real Chinese medicine massage ! I am glad that I survived under the extreme pain of the massage; and I am even more glad that the pain caused by my chronic disease has disappeared! This is how I felt after the tenth massage. Great job! I DO appreciate it very much !

dmv

$70/hour massage - good firm/deep pressure. Bring Cash!!! They charge additional fees for credit/debit card purchases. ATM on site. Clean, comfortable, nice accommodations

Ciara Catrelle

Myself and two other friends went to receive a massage, while my service was just okay. One of my friends really disliked her therapist. We’d originally asked for an hour service, but cut it short because she became uncomfortable.

Bianca Chun

Went in because I was having terrible back/neck pain. May took care of me and was able to get all the kinks and aches out of my back! She was very knowledge in my pain spots and I left feeling great. Will definitely be back soon.

Matthew David Miller

Highly professional, knowledgeable, and welcoming massage business right in Philadelphia's Chinatown district close to several public city parking lots. Beautiful Chinese architecture and medicine themed waiting room, attentive service and clear professional expectations earn 5 stars best rating. Opportunity to shop, dine in Chinatown as well. Call to check availability for same day or book in advance online.

Kaci Krebs

Best massage ever. I am really happy we decided to stop in and give it a try. If you are considering it, do it! Good pricing and amazing massage.

Swapnali Bansode

It was my first experience of massage and cupping, it turned out just great! Thank you so much. I went here for my back pain and turned out best!

Danica Fonacier

Moved to Philly from NYC recently and used to get massages every other month at the same place for 6 years. Ive had bad neck/shoulder/back pain for 15 years. This is my new go-to in Philly. Was blown away the first time, looking forward to coming back!

Nancy Diab

The best place for medical message. They are great. I had very bad pain and they helped me a lot. I leave the place feeling pain-free.I am so grateful. ❤️

Zack Sorkin

Great and very kind staff, the therapeutic skill is off the CHARTS!!! One of the greatest massages I have gotten in awhile. Thank you!!

stephanie fleming

BEST . they will help you heal just follow their advice

Katia Melisse Gerchow

Wonderful massage for the price, would have given a 5 star but I didn't receive the foot massage that was supposed to be included.

Ngozi Motilewa

Excellent massage! I did 90 mins and still wish I had more time! The time went by quickly. The massage therapist knew exactly what areas to work on with little direction from me. Expect to get a very, very deep massage and leave feeling like a new person after. Will definitely be coming back again!

Kiyomi Bufford

Totally love this place! Clean and extremely professional!!!!

Eric James Flonominal Crompton

Incredibly relaxing. Calm, serene environment. Very clean office. Massage felt great and was adjusted pressure when asked to perfection

Kelly Miller

There is not much English being spoken here so be sure to know what you're going to get before you get there, with that being said this is one of the best places I have ever gone to for massage, I go once a month they remove and attack all of my knots and tight areas. They basically will stand on top of you or do whatever they have to do to get your body back in shape. I have no complaints ever. I've also experienced the glass cupping from them and would recommend that also just know that you will look like you got attacked by many vacuums for the next week or so, but the results are phenomenal. They offer you fruited water upon your completion as well. I highly recommend this place.

Tasha Morris

I didnt know what to expect. I googled chinese massage and this poped up. I want and to my surprise It was the best massage I ever had (only had 1 before this) I will go again. The only thing I disliked is that I can hear others conversations. I recently moved and hurt my back and it was tight and hurt which was my reason for coming. I promise I will tip next time

Iam FinnaLaugh

Rocco Romeo

Great experience and perfect ambiance!

Maxine Mayer

Not your soft spa like massage…. More therapeutic. I highly recommend Pain Away Philly.

Haisong Mao

Best Massage and Moxibustion Experience in My Life! The owner had more than 30 years of experience and will know you problem immediately just by massaging your body. Professional experience at best! Would recommend!

The Bops Of Bops

Me and my girl just came from this place. It was great! Felt amazing. Defiantly will be back again!

Jim Minnick

Sorry. I didn’t mean to give a 1 star review. My daughter plays with my phone a lot and she may have done that by accident as your place was likely up on my screen as I recently went there for a massage. The massage was great! I would recommend to drink a lot of water before hand as you would with any massage, but a great place to go if your trying to relieve pain.

Seong Bae

I had trouble sleeping for a few days. Came here for 30 min massage. It helped me go to sleep better. Would come again.

Ashley Schwemmer

Very clean and professional. DEEP massage. Hurts but feels great after.

Michael Schuman

Excellent massage. Genuine "chinese medicine" and motivated, friendly staff.

Derick Jones

Walked in for a 1030 appointment with yoyo and was told to wait 20 mins. 20 mins turned into 30 minutes. I finally grabbed someone and said ive been waiting for 30 mins and i have an appointment. They called the manager who told me yoyo was in china and that i would be next. No sorry for your inconvenience or anything. I was finally seen and my cupping experience was tough due to a little language barrier but my back felt great afterwards. I was really bummed because i wanted to support an actual chinese masseuse instead of going to other places not chinese owned and this place specializes in cupping. So, the massage part was good but the service has alot of room for improvement. If you make an appointment I'd suggest calling to see if the person is actually going to be there and when you get there be very firm about your appointment time. Once again very bummed that this wasnt an amazing experience like others seemed to have had.

David Munoz Jr.

Well maintained and nice atmosphere. There therapies feel really good it just depends what you need.

Brenda Levin, L.OM.

My tuina massage was massage with Jack was fantastic!! I was SO sore from a number of reasons and Jack really knows what he is doing. Very strong massage, not for people who are sensitive to strong touch. This completely healed my aches and pains and I felt 100% better the next day. I will return to see Jack again regularly. Only issues are: 1) the hole where your face rests is very uncomfortable and pushing on your larynx and thyroid, so getting the right neck position is tricky. And 2) My friends massage with one of the women wasn’t very good sadly, although the woman seemed very nice. Traditional Chinese massage here. No frills! Very awesome if you can handle it.

Suzanne Difilippo

Best massage I’ve received thus far!!!

Shabnam Tawangar

Excellent services. I will do visit them more.

Guidedmeditation Meditation

She worked out my sore back muscles and even did a cupping session too... it was amazing

Brian Wallace

Very nice people, welcoming, a new gem for a flight attendant on a phl overnight. Thank you

Monica Nessim

Amazing experience overall!

Jenn G A

Mrs Bin Wang is a serious healer who knows exactly what to do and where on your achings. She is very professional and nice. I am very thankful every visit she relieves my headaches. God bless her.

Aila DeVowe

No frills, just fantastic massages. Every time. I love this place!

J. Baylor Harton

Life-changing!!!! May and the staff at Pain Away of Philly have greatly reduced my chronic back and neck pain through massage and cupping. I was having a hard time sitting at work, as well as lifting and carrying my growing toddler. By visiting Pain Away every few weeks, I am able to live my life more fully. PRO TIP - Use Google translate on your phone to ease communication, as while all staff are excellent, they speak English at different levels.

Kelly Miller

My friend recommended me to go here and it’s exactly what I needed! The waiting area was so beautiful and it help set up a relaxing and calm ambiance. They offered me a complimentary drink while I waited for them to set up the room. I got the 1 hour massage and it worked out all my knots and melted away my stress. My masseuse was attentive and did such a great job! This place really puts in the work and helped me with all my problem areas. Definitely setting up another appointment to go back!

Keith Allen

Guter professionelle Massage mit freundlichem Personal. Leider hat die beantwortung meiner Email etwas gedauert. Die Räume sind sauber und gepflegt. Die Preise sind pro 10 Minuten und eher hoch. Die Massage war gut und genau wie vorher besprochen. (Translation) Good professional massage with friendly staff. Unfortunately it took a while for my email to be answered. The rooms are clean and well-kept. The prices are per 10 minutes and rather high. The massage was good and exactly as previously discussed.
