Best Massage Ever! I have been getting massages by Ying for over 6 years, and I am never…read moredisappointed. Today I was having a lot of sciatic and hip pain, and I couldn't even walk or get out of a chair without severe pain. So, I called Panacea Massage for a same day appointment. Ying knew exactly how to treat my pain, which included pain relief ointment and hot rocks. After my 90 minute massage, I was able to walk and get out of a chair! This facility is always very clean, quiet, cozy and comfortable. It is my happy place!

I would be very cautious booking here. I clearly told the therapist more than once to stay away…read morefrom my spine area. I had to tell her three times in total before asking her to do legs only. Because of a lack of understanding of english I would suggest other therapists. Additionally she clearly wasn't an experienced therapist by the way she pushed on the spine multiple times. This has been the case recently with no regular therapist anymore. Always cycling new faces in and out. I was told by the owner this therapist is already out??? I experienced pain afterwards. I was told Wendy the owner was in China at the time so the manager Michelle gave me a piece of paper for a free massage with her signature on it. I did not want to pay for the poor and painful massage but I was told I could get a free massage with Wendy and would be able to talk with her about my experience when she got back. When I finally got to speak with Wendy, she was dismissive and put the blame on me. I was told it was my responsibility to end the session even though I had already communicated my concerns more than two times with a verbal understanding from the therapist. She stated... "it's a Chinese massage they don't speak or understand English, you should have got up and talked to the manager." She actually expected me to get up an hour into the massage get dressed and go talk to the manager about a communication problem??? I was told multiple times over the years that they have enough communication to understand all they needed for massage related questions. It wasn't a conversation I was trying to have. Very simple to understand, NO SPINE PLEASE! Then she hung up on me. I called back thinking it was a mistake and her husband Don stated she didn't understand me and didn't want to talk any more. The nerve of this person. He was just the same as Wendy. Dismissive, rude and not willing to work it out. I tried .t best to talk to this establishments owner and work this out. This is what happened. I have been here many times and I am familiar with Wendy. To be treated this way really says something about her and the way she handles her business and complaits brought to her. She is not honorable or genuine. She showed no concern or remorse for my experience or pain. Her willingness to dissmiss and potentially lose a customer of over 8 years for asking her to honor the free massge her manager gave me, and help me with pain I still was experiencing spoke volumes about her true nature. Chose wisely. There are many more professional and consistent options in Chico.

She's also very fairly priced as well, def will see her again!

Massage was for the entire hour, not 50-55 minutes. We tipped an additional $20. So for the two of us it was only slightly more than most places charge for one. We received a very nice and, yes, relaxing message. Funny about the music. They must use the "free" version of an instrumental music channel because every 15 minutes a one minute commercial would play. Didn't bother us. We use those, too. In full disclosure, this was our first full hour massage...but it won't be our last. Recommend.

Her knowledge in treating each of our individual needs is amazing. The care she has taken in providing a safe environment for our immunocompromised son I will forever be grateful for.

No matter what treatment I opt for or how painful it can sometimes be (in a good way) I come out feeling like I'm floating on clouds. We are really going to miss her in NorCal because her knowledge, treatments, and ability to make someone feel comfortable are unmatched.
