The famous Chinese philosopher, Chu Huiweng, had the right idea when he said, "To avoid sickness eat less; to prolong life worry less. We need something likeβ¦a massage. Now before I start giving instructions on where an expat may venture for a much need massage , allow me to state a simple truthβthe places on this list are legitimate places of business and not somewhere you can pick up an escort for some strange sexual fantasy. My goal was to seek out and introduce some places in Wuhan that have great reputations, affordable prices, and excellent masseuses that may be able to cure your nagging back pain or release some of your stress.
It should be noted that Wuhan people love massages, and if you do business here your associate might ask you if you want to get a foot massage.
Foot massages in Wuhan are a common social practice. If you have extremely ticklish feet like I do , however, you might agree to go but opt out for a body massage instead, because a foot massage is all about working every nook and cranny of the foot and, in some places, does tend to be rough and painful. The last time I had one, I nearly kicked someone in the face. Seeing how the city is peppered with seemingly countless massage parlours, selecting a place can be a bit mind-boggling.
Below you will find a handful of places that offer a weary traveller, an over-worked business professional, or someone just wanting to try something different, a place they can venture to for a much needed massage. It should also be noted that just about every massage parlour in the Wuhan area offers widely similar techniques, but at different prices due to location, brand recognition, and quality of their staff.
Lower prices may lead you to a place off the beaten path sure, but in an environment which might require you to get a tetanus shot. Also, typical forms of treatment you can expect to find are: Cupping a traditional Chinese medial technique that creates a vacuum within a small glass cup to remove impurities from the body , full body massage, and foot massage. It is very famous for its foot massages, which are slightly pricey.
