Friendly and courteous staff. Clean facility with flexible scheduling. Gave the full amount of time that was required for the massage.

Great massage decent price. Takes credit cards. Clean, quiet but tightly packed space. Low customer numbers otherwise coaxial distancing may be an issue. Lady speaks decent English. The issue? She asked for a tip after the service and made faces and disapproving noises when I made my offer. I walked out anyway. read more

went to this place today for a back massage. Have to say massage was really good. lady was very professional and got my back and shoulders loosened up. I feel so much better. Very reasonably priced. Was not pressured to give a tip. Very friendly people read more

Think of every stereotype one might have about a Chinatown massage ... and you have this falsely-named massage place. I don't even want to dignify it as a "spa" because it is a poorly-staffed, money-making machine. There seems to be some sort of unsaid rule about food reflexology places that a foot massage is still an excuse for them to give you some kind of full-body massage. I'm sure someone is reading this and thinking I am crazy for complaining, but the truth is that I only want someone to give me a full body massage if they know what the fuck they are doing. And my "masseuse" clearly did not. Where to begin? 1. I signed up for the $49 one-hour massage and they insisted I pay up front. They grumbled about me not having cash, but whatever. 2. My whole massage felt half-assed. I was too tall for the table, my legs half-dangled into the foot-soaking bath, and my "masseuse" kept looking at the clock. 3. After the 30-minute foot massage, which was nice, she closed the curtain completely and then started to squeeze my whole body. It dawned on me that I could have asked for a handjob or anything at this point, especially when she asked if I wanted to take off my pants for "oil." I declined. 4. She started to squeeze my stomach and actually made fun of it. Again, she asked if I could take off my shirt for "oil." I declined. I felt like that one time when I was propositioned in the DR ... 5. She kept looking at the clock. She didn't want to be there. I didn't want to be there. 6. I figured that since I paid $49, a $10 or 20% tip was adequate but she grumbled and seemed so disappointed. DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS SHITTY BUSINESS. read more

I messed up my back and needed a massage. A friend suggested go to Chinatown for a cheap massage. I paid $70 for an hour. It was a really good massage and she really worked it. I asked for more pressure and she applied the perfect amount. I felt sooo much better after the massage. I want to try other places in Chinatown, but really don't need to. It was a very good massage. I recommend this place. It is a little dated inside but who cares, it is a good massage here read more

I do not recommend this place. My husband and I stopped for a quick 30 mins foot and body massage. They made us pay upfront for the massage(paid with CC). When my husband was signing the receipt, they started asking if we gonna tip them in cash or on the card (we haven't even got the massage yet). So I said that I'll add tips after the massage. Whole place looked disorganized and dirty. There was no music (any other places I've visited had relaxing spa music), instead we had to listen them talk. Felt like the were doing us a favor by giving us massage. After the massage another masseuse started asking (demanding) tips. When I add the tips on CC, I guess they were not satisfied with the amount, they started complaining and taking crap in their language (so disrespectful). Very unpleasant experience. read more

Very kind gentleman that worked the front. He was alone at the time that my friend and I came in, and was nice enough to take her to work on while waiting for his next appointment to come in. The feel of this location is very relaxing, as the water sounds and look of the room makes you feel at ease. My friend loved her foot massage, as it's exactly what we needed from walking around Boston all day. Care and time was taken in the work, and the price was an amazing deal. 30 dollars for 30 mins is quite worth it. This little mom and pop massage place needs some love from people willing to give it a shot. I recommend it, as it made me feel at ease and was quite relaxing. A small note that some people here do not speak English, or their English is limited. If you are racist or have an issue with that you might not want to attend this location. read more

Healthy Foot Spa Reflexology - Reception area after stairs - Massage Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

See all

I bought a groupon for an hour long reflexology and massage. It was a waste of money. I am a student and therefore don't have a lot of money in the first place, so I hate the feeling that I wasted money on what I had hoped would be a relaxing experience. First of all, this place is really small. I was led into a "room" with a recliner/massage table that was really just separated from the rest of the place by a couple walls and a curtain. This was fine in the respect that I did not have to change for the massage, but it also meant that I could hear the loud conversation in Chinese between the other employees at the front desk. That doesn't really set the mood for relaxation. The guy who performed the massage was very nice, but I felt as though he didn't know a thing about massaging. I've had better massages from friends who know nothing about massage. When I was lying on my stomach, I felt as though he was just pushing down on my back in a way that made me feel as though he was trying to push me into the massage table. I had high hopes for an authentic reflexology experience, but this part of the massage was really lacking too. I thought the point of reflexology was to press into trigger points in your feet that are connected with different organs. Instead, it just felt really dull. And also, the masseur pulled my toes to try to make that cracking sound of my toe joints. I hate that! But I didn't know how to tell him not to do that since I don't think he understood English well! I definitely won't be back here again! read more

M friend gave me Groupon for a couple massage that is an hour long. I showed up on time for my appointment but my boyfriend was 40 minutes. They waited and took us in. Our body and foot massage lated more than an hour...wow!! Usually they spot on the dot or a few minutes before an hour. The place is not too big. They have three individual rooms and one big room that can fit up to 3 people. We were in that big room. The place was clean, new, neat. The massage tables were new. Service was awesome! I would come back again. read more

I love getting reflexology massages. When I saw a groupon, I jumped on the occasion. It was upstairs on the second floor and was fairly clean. The only downside for cleanliness is if you use their bathroom, there are no paper towels to dry your hands off and it's a very small tight space. The massage was HORRIBLE! I felt like I was being manhandled the entire time. I kept having to tell her to be more gentle. At one point I thought I was going to loose my face and leave with bruises. This massage was supposed to relax me but in the end it gave me more anxiety. It was supposed to be relaxing but the people were screaming at each other in Chinese, mind you they were right next to each other. The sign very clearly states to be quiet out if respect for others relaxing. How can you relax when they are screaming at each other? The atmosphere is great but you can hear all of the ambulances that go by to the hospital down the street. If you're looking for heavy pressure then go here...I will not be back. I checked my legs a few hours later and I have bruises all over them! Don't WASTE your time or your MONEY! For a great reflexology, go to Happy Feet down the street! Happy Feet is absolutely amazing! read more

Wish I had read the reviews before going but I was so tired I walked in. They asked for payment and tip before the massage. I told them I'd tip after. They talked to each other loudly and allowed other customers to talk loudly and listen to things on their phone. The masseur pointed to my stomach and asked if I was pregnant! She asked why I was single. Zero manners. Not relaxing, she kept getting up and leaving and talking loudly. Then they complained about my tip, they're lucky I gave them one. I explained them talking to each other loudly and constantly getting up was not relaxing. She shooed me away and they began speaking about me in their language. Never again. read more

I came here first time with the Groupon this morning. I highly recommend place if you are looking for a very affordable deep tissue massage, that helps relieve pain on back and shoulder. It was 30 mins upper body and 30 Mins foot massage. Very strong (of course you can ask for softer, I prefer this strong massage :) I am giving 5 stars here because the massage lady deserves Her name is 阿芳 in Chinese. read more

We had a couple foot massage. The massage ladies just chatted the whole hour. It's was miserable to listen to them chatting not concentrating on the job. I could not wait till it was over. read more

Do not get your massage here. Waste of time. Staff spent more time asking about my nails then massaging. Hour massage became 20 minute massage...or more like palm press. read more

Giving it 5 stars for good service, clean looking and calming atmosphere. We had a groupon deal for an hour bodywork and foot reflexology combo. I thought they focused more on the body more but it was still awesome. My back is very sensitive and for me not to tense up much was great. When you walk in they have you soak your feet in a hot bath and then they start working from your head to shoulder, arms and then your back and end with your feet. I had foot relexology before and compared to this one it's more of a lighter type of reflexology they didn't pinpoint every pressure point on your feet but it was still very good. Overall, even without a groupon deal I would definitely come back. Side notes: I went w/ my sister and we both was in the same room and it's not a fancy spa place your fully clothed so I recommend wearing a light tank top and pants you can roll up to your knees. read more

***Avoid this place*** (even with Groupon deal) The lady who gave me foot and body massage was extremely unprofessional, amateur and rude. She was basically just running her fingertips along my feet and legs and it didn't feel like massage at all. And the body massage... I was being tortured by her elbow the entire time. As I was exiting she demanded a tip. I gave her $5 and she called me CHEAP. Really?!! Overall I was NOT happy with the service but I AM happy that none of my personal belongings were stolen. read more

My sis got a groupon for a couple's massage. We managed to squeeze in an appointment after work. Though, the groupon was for body massage and reflexology - it was barely any body massage - gentle pressure throughout. The reflexology was pretty weak, too. We left with our oily hair and unrelieved aches. Can't imagine if we'd ever pay full price for any of the services. read more

I was very happy after using my Groupon here the other day. I left completely relaxed and nearly fell asleep during the foot portion of my mixed 90 minute session. The back and leg portion was a lot rougher then I expected but it really helped loosen me up. Its definitely a no frills place and the "privacy" was in the form of a curtain. I didn't mind but I can see how some people would. Know this isnt a super classy establishment but the service is top notch. I was given a card to get the Groupon pricing again for 2 more visits which I will definitely be using. read more

Used a Groupon that was expiring this week. It was just ok. I've had way better elsewhere in the suburbs. Not what I am used to. Wouldn't return. read more

When I called to schedule an appt to use a groupon I was told I could not before 5pm. This is not in the fine print, but I agreed to 4:30pm. When I arrived the woman at the front desk said no Groupons after 4. I had to argue with her and she finally agreed to let me have my appt and she took me to the massage room. As I was taking my coat off she told me "20 dollar minimum tip", I said "what?" And she repeated it. It seemed this woman I had had to argue with was going to be my masseuse and I was not comfortable at all especially after she tried to demand a tip amount up front. I left because this is gross and I will not support a business that does this. I would advise that you don't engage with this shady business. read more

I have a decent amount of tension areas. And they hit them. However, they hit them and left. Other places I've had massages have worked on my problem areas for longer to work out the knots and the tension. They soaked my feet in warm water with little round things at the bottom. Massaged my feet, then worked the rest of my back and arms. They use a pretty strong pressure, which I personally like, but for someone that prefers a lighter touch you might want to tell them sooner rather than later. I might have fallen a sleep for a little while. Maybe. A bit. Totally. I enjoyed myself, but I prefer my Boston Bodyworker better. But the price at Healthy Foot Spa Reflexology can't be beat. read more

I was quite excited to use my 60 min reflexology and bodywork Groupon that my brother has gifted me (he bought it in July and I scheduled an appointment in Dec). Scheduling was not a smooth ride. The receptionist I spoke to barely spoke any English and even though the Groupon rules stated it's valid from Monday-Friday, the lady said that I had to come between Monday-Thursday. To avoid any more arguments, I scheduled an appointment for Monday.. Anyways upon arriving at the spot, I was asked to wait for 5 mins. The next few mins were spent on my Groupon details and when I said I was gifted the Groupon in July, she told me that the Groupon had expired even though the Groupon said expiration was not for another month. After some back and forth I was asking to wait for a few more mins. My masseur was a middle aged Asian man who spoke no English and in my opinion didn't know the ABC of massaging. The only thing he did was kept rubbing my muscles/sole, pressing my muscles/soles and elbowing/slapping my back. It was uncomfortable and when I tried telling him that, he said "oh lighter" and kept continuing what he did. When I winced because I was in pain after his constant elbowing/beating, he said "bad back" and continued what he did. At the end when I wanted to complain, the receptionist/owner was busy talking to another employee in Chinese and didn't even look when I was waiting. I left in disappointment. This was hands down the worst massage I received. I don't recommend going here unless you speak Chinese/Mandarin.. Never again. read more

READ OTHER REVIEWS AND AVOID THIS PLACE EVEN WITH A GRUPON DEAL. Worst massage I've ever received in my life. I went to this place with a grupon deal. The lady tried her best not to do anything for an hour and left the room frequently during the massage. My 3 year old child would do a better massage than her. Total waste of my time and money. Not even worth a dollar. The place was filthy and I had to took a shower immediately after I got home. Horrible experience overall. read more

This place is the worst. I have no idea why I decided to give this place another go, but we cashed in our groupons on a Tuesday night. I called early and asked for a 7 PM appointment. She said OK.. and then said "No, too late." We negotiated on time for awhile (which was already annoying, since I knew 7 was available but the staff must've wanted an early day). She finally agreed and said, "OK, you have coupon?", to which I responded we did. Then she hung up abruptly. When we arrived, the receptionist asked us for the groupon. We had the 90 minute foot/body groupon. All of a sudden, the receptionist got super upset and ranted in Chinese for awhile to the other staff who were just sitting in the waiting room. She accused me of lying and saying on the phone I had the 60 minute groupon! One, what should it matter, I can see your appointment book on the desk, there are no more appointments after us. Second, you never asked, don't accuse me of lying!! The other staff just snickered in Chinese, which I didn't appreciate either. That's just rude. Having already been put off by the experience, I should have left. Really. But the receptionist, with big huffs and puffs, finally sat us down in the back room with flat recliners, and left. Without any instructions. We waited in there for about 10 minutes before two masseuses-- one of whom happened to be the receptionist-- came back with two buckets of hot water. They stuck our feet in the hot water and left again for 10 minutes. The massage finally started, first the feet, then back-- the male masseuse for me, the female receptionist for my husband. Some fun bullet points: 1.) The massage seriously felt like weird touching. Seriously, if you're not using any pressure while massaging me, you're just touching me. Just stop. 2.) The two masseuses kept talking in Chinese to one another while massaging us. I've been to other Chinese massage places, in NYC and Boston, and while I admit this is pretty normal, I've never had massages where they talk non-stop. Seriously, they didn't stop talking for 20 straight minutes. Normally I'd ignore it, but I was already pissed off from the episode at the front desk, so I literally opened my eyes and stared at the female receptionist, who was doing the majority of the talking. SHE SEES ME GLARING, and she STILL doesn't stop talking! I've never seen anyone more dense. Or maybe she knew what I was doing and just didn't care. Either way, I finally had to ask her if she could please refrain from talking during the massage. She pretended not to understand me and made me repeat myself three times. Then gave me sad puppy dog eyes as if I just shot her puppy. Seriously. Me. The one who paid good money to be accused of lying, only to receive a mediocre massage, all while listening to your life saga in Chinese. 3.) The male masseuse COUGHED IN HIS HAND AND THEN KEPT MASSAGING ME. He was a larger fellow, sniffling and snorting his mucous the entire time, which in and of itself is disturbing to listen to during a massage-- and then I heard coughing being blocked with his hand, and then I felt his hands on me again!! I thought I was imaging things because no way could you be that gross, but I opened my eyes, watched him as if in slow motion, cough into his hand several times, then keep massaging my feet!!!! If this happened once, then maybe, MAYBE, you get a pass, I guess. But he did this multiple times, at least 5 or 6 times, during the massage. WHY. 4.) We walked in at 6 PM. After the arguing at the front desk, leaving us in the room, soaking our feet in the water, we started the massage at 6:30. The masseuses stopped our massages at 7:30. We paid for a 90 minute massage, and got a 60 minute one. Unethical. That would've normally pissed me off, but I just wanted the grossness to end. I'd like to start this last part by saying, I am a GOOD tipper. I am a fantastic tipper. I always tip 20% at restaurants, and my last hair appointment I paid 20 bucks tip on a 40 dollar trim because I didn't have the guts to ask for change back on my twenty. I make up stories in my head about why this cab driver would need an extra 5 on top of the tip I already gave him because I'm a sucker. But today. Today, the receptionist pissed me off. You have to be a really crappy person for me to hate you more than the guy's hocking up lougies and coughing into his hand to touch me repeatedly. No, the receptionist's lack of consideration of all things customer service, and basic human-ness, pissed me off. I'm sad to report I was still too much of a chicken to give nothing. We tipped $10 on groupons that cost $50 each, which in my opinion was still ridiculously generous. As we were leaving, the receptionist had the audacity to look at the money, then back to us, with the same "You-just-shot-my-puppy" eyes, and actually say, "That's so cheap..." I don't know why that surprised me. Treated like sh*t when we walked in, treated like sh*t on the way out. read more

I had recently purchased a $32 groupon for 30min foot and 30min body massage for this spa. My initial expectations were exceded with such great customer service as well as flexibility in terms of appointment times. It all seemed to be going great until the actual massage started. The gentleman who was massaging me began in the head/neck area, then moved to the feet for 30min and then completed with a painful back massage. The massage itself was a little too much force for me to handle. I told the gentleman multiple times to "lighten up a little" and he acknowledged but didn't listen. I even sat up at one point to tell him to back off a little and he continued to institute WWE wrestling flying elbows into my spine. There was a point I couldn't even breathe because the pain was too much. Even with a language barrier, I think squeamishness and cries of pain is a universal sign to stop. Not only did the masseuse not listen to my preferences, the towels they used to massage your back also lead to significant 'rug burn'. If you are willing to touch my feet a little oil on the back won't hurt either! As I limped outside the massage room in agony I felt the need to tip the gentleman for the sake of it. I paid him $6 for a $32 groupon (roughly 20%). He proceded to tell me "give me $10 this isn't enough". I couldn't believe my ears! I told this guy that I wasn't happy with the massage and he said "I needed it and its ok.' I'm not exactly sure what that meant but that was enough to make me stay away from this place for good. Ive been to reflexology spas more than I can count but this was by far the worst. read more

Good massage. Got the groupon. Well worth it. I have lived in China and the whole experience here is very similar to what you would get there. read more

One of the best massages I've ever had in Boston. I'm a server so I'm on my feet a lot. What they do to your feet is absolutely amazing! They also do body work and will knead out any tension you may have. I like deep tissue so I loved my massage. I will definitely be returning. read more

I'm not sure how this place received 4 stars. A group of 3 of us arrived on a gloomy sunday late afternoon. we wanted foot massages before getting on a plane. we arrived and it was quiet. so they were able to take us right away and we were all in the same room together. i regret not asking about prices because we made the assumption that the foot massage was going to cost somewhere around $20-30 like other places that have these spots. So my foot gets soaked in lukewarm almost cold water. then I'm asked to lay down and the foot massage begins. the woman i got i think was not very good. she rubbed my shin bone until it hurt and i had to speak to her about it. my biggest complaint is that her phone rang during the service and she picked it up! Seriously? I was not able to relax at all. She also stepped on my glasses, i wasn't told where to put everything. my two companions liked their masseuses. I have had better massages at many other places, even sitting in the chairs! The biggest surprise was when we went to pay and was told the service cost $65 each person. I was going to further question it but there were three people who were eyeing us in the small reception room. Again it was our fault for not asking about the prices and assuming otherwise. Had i known it was going to cost $65 i would have gone to a full service spa where they use nice smelling oils and you strip down and lay in official massaging beds because that's what i expect for $65. read more

This place is located on a second floor. It's not fancy, doesn't look like a salon. I felt left out when I came here. Everyone's speaking in Chinese. I had a confusing conversation with the lady who was manning the front entrance/counter. The staff is very friendly though. My aunt and I were led into a dark room. We were told to take our pants off and wear a paper pants. I know that didn't sound right but I was wearing skinny jeans and the massage they give you is from the foot to the knee. I didn't feel comfortable at first. We laid down on the single beds/cots(?) with our lower legs dangling. We were assigned male masseuse each. But boy, were they professional. They just worked on our legs. They were very quiet! No talking between the two of them while my aunt and I were yapping away lol. I relaxed after that. Anyway I told the man to go easy on the massage coz my legs started to hurt. He was that strong. We soaked our feet at first in a basin of warm water with some kind of ointment on it. It smelled good! Then they applied oil after. What a treat to our tired feet (from walking all day in Chinatown)! read more

Healthy Foot Spa Reflexology - Massage Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

This was AMAZING!!!! They are so kind and sweet. And the massage was the BEST one I've ever had in Boston!!!! Beats all the fancy name brand places by a million points!!! read more

I bought a Groupon, as I was desperately in need of some relaxation. The only gripe I had was that the room was quite small. The guy had to scoot the table around a few times throughout the session. 3 minutes in, I was laying down, feet in a hot herbal soak, and I was on my way to bliss. Warning, if you're in to the relaxing, soothing type of massages, this is not your place. There is a good amount of smacking, pounding, and heavy pressure. I like deep tissue and sports massages, so this was fine for me. Wear a tank top and shorts or pants that you can roll up. I would definitely be back. read more

I continue to invest in this location because 8 out of 10 times that I have been, it has been great.

Prices great, cleanliness great and talent is great. read more

Used Groupon for body and foot massage. It was quite good an made me relax. Good deal.

Been dying to get a massage for weeks now but still in sticker shock over the Boston area prices! Finally had time Sunday and found this little gem thanks to Yelp! My sister and I went and were able to have a room with two chairs and they took such great care of us! There were a few issues with our appointment but they absolutely redeemed themselves! They soaked our feet before the reflexology and the massage was one of the best that I have ever had! I have severe back problems because of a car accident when I was in high school, so I have had hundreds of massages since then and I can say this was by far the best! :) Will definitely be going back!! Weekly! read more

AMAZING... I have had treatments before this one takes the the cake and the box, Clean friendly and very talented technician works you head to toe literally then when you think (sadly) its over they turn you on your tummy and work your back, shoulders and bum which really took care of lower back issue. OMG Going back next week. read more

I went for a two hours full body massage. Let's be fact based: Pros: Masseuse was good Price ok except pay upfront. Cons: Noisy and hot Masseuse left 3 times to attend other customers or whatever Masseuse took a phone call during massage and was massaging with one hand Masseuse the kept on text with other hand until i told her it was not good, she laughed but quit doing it. Hence second hour was better. I should have tipped zero but tipped 10 and she told me "why not 20?" Massage was short by 15 to 20 mins. I was happy to leave so did not complaint. Well... No need to say i was not happy. My buddy took one at the same time and said his was great though. read more

i redeemed my groupon yesterday, the service was average! not the best massage nor reflexology i'd gotten, i was hoping for deep tissue and firm reflexology as ive been gettin bodywork and reflexology for over 15 yrs! they barely speak english so letting them know not to pull on my toes or smash my toe nails hard as i have delicate nails was almost impossible, so it was not relaxing as i was always on guard when she got near my toe nails :( i am also allergic to soy! which is in a lot of massage oils so i called ahead to make sure it was okay if i brought my own! they said ok! when i arrive there was a strange broken english scuffle about me wanting what my groupon was for 30 minute reflexology and 60 minute bodywork massage! they tried to tell me something about 15 minute foot,45 minute back, 10 minute head/hair(which i didnt want touched! as i had a dinner date after!!!.... it was crazy and instantly uncomfortable as i kept showing them the groupon for 90 minutes split in 30/60! ugh! the worst was after!!!! i wanted to give a standard 15% gratuity as nothing was phanominal! i payed $49 for the groupon so i wanted to tip $10! the receptionist said flat out it was not enough!!!!!! so all of a sudden she can speak english but when i asked them about everything else they were like mutes! this is such a scam! they got $15 out of me on top of the $49! fine $64 for a 90minute strange as hell experience that i would never recommend! to anyone! on top of which only after they tell me they dont use oil during their bodywork massages and rub you thru a towel the whole time! which is crazy talk about rug burn! never heard of this in all the 15 yrs iv been paying for bodywork, massage, and reflexology!!!! all over boston, new york, china towns in both cities, hence my final call this is a scam! do not support this business! plus if they cant speak english how did they pass their massage therapy license???? hmmmm. read more

They said they could take a credit card and then afterwards they told us to follow them into a dark alley to find cash?!? Very scary and shady, we thought we were going to be murdered! My daughter is traumatized and the massage wasn't even good, it was actually horrible! They almost broke my back and it wasn't even supposed to be a back massage! It was a head neck and shoulder! Very VERY upset and shaken up. Please don't go here. This place should be shut down. Everything about it was shady and not what it should have been. I do not have one good thing to say about this place. If I could give it 0 stars I defiantly would! read more
