Probably the best massage of my life! Everybody has a different version of what makes a massage good. Mine is that I don't tell the masseuse where the problem is - I see if they can find it. Jeanie (Jinyi) found it and systematically drilled it out. I'm so impressed at how skilled she is. It is a traditional Chinese-style massage, where they put a cloth over you. I prefer this, as I like to keep my clothes on in public. After this massage, everything was limber, everything was popping like a newborn baby Really, an amazing amazing massage. I will be going back at least twice a month now that I found the real deal read more

So my massage wasn't bad, my boyfriend got me a coupon for Valentines Day. After the massage I wanted to tip but I only had a few dollars cash or big bills on me, so to be kind I gave the dollars that I had (which was still about 18% tip). The front lady literally, no joke, took my money out of the jar, threw it towards me and said "20%." Well I didn't have exactly 20%. So I felt very embarrassed and gave a 32% tip. Then she gave me a very nasty look and I left. If it weren't for her very rude conduct, the massage itself was about 4 stars out of 5. read more

Overall I liked this place and the staff. They tried hard. But then it got weird.... After a few hard days of work I was draggin butt. I felt like my left shoulder and arm had been gnawed on by a Chupacabra. So I "YELPED" a local massage place to help me with my damaged flipper/wing/appendage. I happened upon this place that was hard to find in a business strip mall in Citrus Heights. There was a man and woman in the business and they were very pleasant. I told them about my Chupacabra attack and asked if he could rub my left arm for about 20 minutes. The fine gentlemen quoted me $20 which seemed a fair price to regain my super strength. At only 20 minutes the clock was ticking. He spent the first five minutes pressing my spine, neck and shoulders. I'm a big guy, 6'0" and about 275 and not too in touch with my "sensitive side"..... This always irritates me, when I come in and say," I only have a limited amount of time, can you please fix this spot" and they have to spend time either "centering your chakras," "fixing your chi", "opening your energy" or" realigning your wang-chung". Once during a massage at another place I even had a guy blow on the back of my calves for about 2 minutes. I whirled around and asked him "what in the wide wide world of sports is he doing?" He replied that he was using his "WHO BREATH which blows away the pain from the muscles...." I wanted to show him my left hook that puts pain into the muscles but I didn't... Any way back to my story... After two requests to rub just my arm, Mr. Massage Guy finally gets around to rubbing my bad flipper. He did an excellent job and I was finally starting to feel better and thinking, "finally a get a masseuse who isn't a nut job".. when I started to feel a sensation like someone was sucking on my arm, or trying to give me a hickey. I sat up and looked over and saw him applying what looked to be a upgraded alien salad shooter with some sort of modified "milking machine appendage" on the end. He said it was "cupping" to draw the blood to the surface but he didn't even give me a heads up first about the hickey machine. All of a sudden I started thinking, "oh no... it's late in the evening, I'm in a lonely strip mall, I'm the only one here and these people were starting to look like aliens. My mind started to whirl that maybe they were aliens and they used this machine to suck the life out of their human subjects before throwing my bones in a pile in the back room. When I started watching him operate the milking machine he tried to put a Kleenex over my eyes. I still had enough strength to lift the Kleenex off my head and held my breath in case it had some alien type of Ether in it. At this point I just started to laugh inside and just enjoy the massage. Mr. Massage Guy was trying his best to do a good job and I was trying my best not to laugh out loud. I thought to myself that I now knew what nursing mothers felt like if they had six boobs hooked up all at once. I looked down at my arm and it had about 6 of these little hickey cups on it. I took a photo (which I posted above) because I knew I had to save other "YELPERS" who might suffer the same fate as me and hopefully help the Police solve my pending disappearance. (all kidding aside, they should probably warn people before they do this because it left huge purple circles for days. Someone might have a wedding, sleeveless event or other body revealing function coming up.) Mr. Massage Guy gave me an extra five minutes just to be nice. I think he knew that I thought this was a little unusual... or shall I say "Alien" Overall I enjoyed the massage and enjoyed the journey outside of my comfort zone. Or I could just be saying that because they've converted me and now I'm one of them........... And I've got the hickeys to prove it! read more

Miracle Chi Gong Massage - The aftermath! - Massage Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

See all

This place is amazing! Walked in and got the 20 minute massage on my super messed up shoulder on my lunch and walked out feeling so much better! He worked all the knots (literally at once point it sounded like gravel) and even could tell where the kinks in my lower back were messing up my shoulder. It doesn't have a lot of frills. It's clean and most importantly is the folks know what they're doing. It's a rough and deep message that gets results. If you want a relaxing spa atmosphere where they rub you down gently and send you on your way this ain't this place. I can't wait to come back! Gonna try the reflexology next! read more

When leaving the mall a few days ago I was offered a "sample" neck massage by a tall, lean gentleman standing outside of the shop. I readily accepted, as my neck had been bothering me for a couple of weeks. It felt so great, I asked for a 12 minute massage, which was all I had time for. A woman led me into the first room, had me lie face-down, covered me with a light blanket and went to work on my neck, shoulders and back. It was just what I needed! I didn't experience any of the strange things mentioned in other reviews, though I just had a 12 minute massage. For the $12 charge, I paid $17 and felt like I really got my money's worth. I was so happy with the massage that I returned two days later for another 12 minute massage. This time I got the gentleman. Again, I felt it was very worthwhile but I like deep-tissue work and I think the woman is a little better at that. Let me say here that this is not the place to go for a "spa day" - not much ambience, strictly technical - but if you really need some neck, shoulder and back work, it's great. I will return. read more

Bad place! Dirty and noisy. Hard to relax when all you hear is kids screaming outside. They could have atleast played music to mask the outside noise. They lure you in with the one hour reflexology for $25, then pressure you into giving a large tip. The cashier lady told me I should have given a 5 to 10 dollar tip. The massage wasn't that good. They really need to work on their customer service. Don't waste your time here. read more

Miracle Chi Gong Massage - Massage Near Me - Citrus Heights, California

My girlfriend and I went into this place as we were told about it from a couple that say they go every other day...One because it's so cheap and the other because they say they are always in pain needing some relief... So we went... First let me say I am open to all forms of massage and I patronize allot of spa's and massage places throughout the area. The massage I received was not what I would call good. It was scattered and it actually made me feel allot worse. After getting up from my massage I felt a bit out of it, my one hour massage had ONLY been for 35 minutes, My shoulders which didn't hurt when I went in did after and my hands and arms were actually taken out of place. The foot massage was average at best and a couple days later were in pain too, which was because they massaged them right out of alignment! I kept thinking of that couple we had met who said they go back every other day, well folks I am here to tell you, if the massage was good, you wouldn't HAVE TO GO BACK, a great massage's effects last as well you body is put into place rather then creating job security that you'll have to go back! Though it was raved to be so inexpensive, it was 45.00 which you can go any where if you book ahead generally so the cost was not low but the work in general shotty and I felt I was definately taken advantage of. The man seemed to do allot more and know more, the older lady seemed to not know what she was doing or perhaps she was just tired and maybe that was why the massage was cut short by 25 minutes? I don't know the reason what I do know is that massage is one I will never return back for. After reading the guys review before me, I realize too that since everyone there acted like they spoke NO ENGLISH you felt like you could not ask questions... Also...NO CUPPING WAS offered and NO body asked if I had area's to target. Save Your Money...Avoid Undue pain is what I say! Happy Trails Massage Fans. :) Peace, Review Girl C read more

After trying for months to get an appointment at a therapeutic massage office that couldn't even be bothered to return my calls I needed a place that would take a walk in. Reading the other reviews gave me a good idea of what to expect at Miracle Chi Gong Massage so I came prepared. Yes, the communication is a little difficult, but the technique is excellent! Prices are cheap, but even with a generous tip you are paying below market rate for some very skilled and (at least in my case) hard labor. The road to recovery for me was made possible by their services and I am very appreciative. Seems that the undervaluation of such services could certainly be reciprocated with 'bad customer service.' read more

I went here after spending several weeks with very stiff back and neck pain due to stress. I walked in, asked for 30 minutes and did not express anything about where my pain was, as the gentlemen didn't ask. He immediately realized where my issues were and spent the 30 minutes doing what felt like a chiropractic massage. I've had spa massages with warm towels and music, etc etc. This place has none of the frills, but he definitely knew how to make me feel 1,000,000 times better! Between stretching, popping, massaging I finally heard that final "pop pop" at the end and felt soo much relief. He uttered, "very good!" And finished the session shortly thereafter after explaining that I had a lot of muscle tension in that area. I was surprised to learn it was only $28 and tipped him $10. It was truly a great experience. read more

This review is based on one 30 minute massage. The massage was excellent. My therapist was very good at his craft. I had to give only 4 stars because with the noise in the mall, it can be distracting. read more

Lady at front desk gives herself tip if you use card... she will tell you you can only tip 20%, 25%, or 30%. I pressed the "custom" option, and she snatched the machine away and said my only options are 20%, 25%, or 30%. Worst customer service ever. Fraudsters. If she does this to hundreds of people a week she's stealing thousands of dollars a month from customers. read more

OMG!!!!!!!!This place is awesome. My neck and shoulder pain had a grip on me..I needed help. I passed by this place and decided to go in for a quick neck and shoulder massage. The people are very nice. They don't speak much English but they understand you very well. The tall gentleman worked out the kinks in my neck and shoulders. .seemed like more than 20 mins but that's OK because it was fantastic. I'll definitely be going back. Only $20 (plus tip if you want). read more

Meh......treated my bro-in-law and me to an hour massage each. I've had better....price is reasonable, but the massage left me wanting more. First off....this was the first time I was ever told to leave my shirt on. Half the time I couldn't even feel what they were doing, due to my t-shirt getting massaged. Even though it was (somewhat) air-conditioned, being rubbed all over through a shirt increases sweating.....got off the table feeling like I needed to change and/or shower. Like massages, and again, great price compared with the local area, but was not worth it in my opinion. read more

I had a great massage today...no frills, no music, no semi-disrobing...just a massage for a reasonable price. The couple speak limited English so if you have specific needs and believe communication is best--keep walking. But, if you need deep massage -- the tall guy is strong and seems to know his craft. I plan to return. read more

I went in today for a body massage. Jenny was my masseuse. It was $38 for a full body, clothed massage. I gave her $50 total. She really knew what she was doing. When she would find knots, she would work to get them out, unlike a lot of other places. The massage was 40 minutes, but she kept working after the timer went off for about 5 minutes. She did each half of my body equally. Only giving 4 stars because I would have preferred to have a massage unclothed and with oil. Also, there is no music, and you can hear the roar of the mall the entire time. Of course someone brought their dog in that started to bark during my massage. But overall, it was a great experience and I will definitely be back! read more

I have had quite a few massages with my wife at several different massage parlors from Folsom to Citrus Heights. My wife and I were on a date when we dropped in to The Miracle Massage. I was surprised by the skill of the masseuse! He did some deep pressure but he knew the muscles very well. We were pleasantly surprised and hope to come back again. Also they were very kind and professional. The only problem I found was that they didn't speak much English, but definately a better massage then we expected. read more

I didn't have the highest expectations for being a mall massage place but I was pleasantly surprised how thorough and precise my massage therapist was. I've paid much more at other places and this guy worked all of my knots out of my shoulder blades and back. I would definitely recommend this place. read more

So I went to the mall yesterday to get a massage at a place called Miracle Massage in sunrise mall, this is my experience... The shit people do for money is so ridiculous!!!! I just got into a dispute today at the massage place in Sunrise Mall because I got a massage yesterday and it wasn't worth what I paid, I said I wanted 30mins for $28 well the guy was very hard and the massage itself was very painful, so I wasn't relaxed at all.. but went to pay with my card (I only had $31 in my account) she asked me how much, I said what the massage cost ($28) she pointed to the tip jar and I told her I wasn't going to give a tip (she was also very rude to me) because I had to go buy a small toy for my 7.5mnth old son, but she told me "no tip, no massage" I looked at my account last night, I saw that transaction for $30 which was bullshit because I was supposed to be $28, went back there today with my mom, she gave me the $2 but said "speak no English get out" wouldn't let me explain to her why I was upset about yesterday, my mom grabbed a business card and she snatched it out of my mom's hand... y'all don't understand how I was about to slam her face on the counter!!!! Complained to the mall about it... anyways, what I'm saying is people are soooooo goddamn greedy when it comes to money! She's lucky my mom didn't call the cops and press assault charges on her... read more

The tall dude knows his sh*t. He's toooo tall to miss. Lol He is the owner of the place. Both husband and wife don't speak much English but they are goooood. read more

The best massage in the Sacramento area at a very reasonable price! I'm a massage enthusiast (or glutton, as my wife says) and I've gotten massages at hundreds of places all over the world, including Europe, Thailand, and Japan. I'm very particular about massage, and I'm usually disappointed with most places. The three best massages I have ever had were from a Zen master in Tokyo, a Thai massage in Kyoto, and here at Miracle Chi Gong, in Citrus Heights. The best reflexology ever (foot massage) was definitely here at Chi Gong. This is a no-nonsense place. No music, no new-age B.S., nothing fancy - they just get to business and give a great massage. This is a traditional Chinese-style massage - hard to describe, but I would say hypnotically rhythmic with lots of pressure points (acupressure) and a little bit of stretching. There is usually a man and a woman working (husband and wife) and they speak very little English. The man can go very deep (which I like) and the woman has a more gentle touch (but still firm and accurate). The man is my favorite, and the woman is my wife's favorite. They are from mainland China and they must have studied at some massage school there, as they definitely have skills (they are obviously professionals). And the second best thing to the quality of the massage is the price. I always get 90 min (reflexology and full body) for $60. It's $45 for 1 hour, and $28 for 30 min. You can also just get the reflexology (40 min) for $25 - That's a heck of a deal for the best foot massage around! They also do a 12 min and a 20 min "introductory special" for $12 and $20. The place is hidden in a strip mall next to State Farm and Stewart Title. It's "kitty-corner" to River City Bank and across the street (Kingswood Dr.) from Bank of America, and on the other side of Sunrise is Union Bank. They used to be in the Sunrise Mall. Also, I am very puzzled by the other review by Randy G. I've been going to Miracle Chi Gong for about 3 years now (I've been there ~100 times - maybe I am a glutton!) and have never had an awkward experience. They have never used a suction machine on me, and I have never witnessed it being used before. It's really hard for me to believe - I wonder if Randy is reviewing the correct place. I have without exception seen only very happy and thankful customers (mostly regulars). I can assure you that if you go here, you don't have to worry about alien sucking machines and chupacabras. read more

Miracle massage is a miracle. This is my story. I have had a mid-back problem related to work for 25 years. I had to lay flat on the ground every week to crack it since I can not afford regular chiropractic visits. A year ago I went in for a 20 minute massage and the tall gentleman went right for the mid-back. He worked on it and its fixed! It has been a year with no problem. It feels great. 25 years of discomfort that chiropractors could only give temporary relief gone. I see other reviews complaining his massage is scattered. I think he is looking to find a place that needs work. This guy is a master, not some amateur with a massage chair. read more

terrible customer service, will never come back... Reported to mall police and mall manager, old asian lady up front desk steals money off the card, adding undesirable extra tip for herself, and physically assaulted me by yanking my wallet out of my hands!!! read more

For 10 days I developed a muscle spasm in the left shoulder area, due to taking care and lifting my 92-year old mum. Have been having sleepless nights. Needed a deep tissue massage at a reasonable rate. Read reviews about Miracle Chi Gong Massage and wanted to check it out. I went in for a 20-minute massage. I cannot tell you how good it was. Unbelievable. I paid $20 for the cost of it and $10.00 tip. The tall guy, I believe the owner did a FABULOUS job. for those of you who do not have much time on your hands and want something reasonable and that which can be accomplished in a short time. Please go to the Sunrise Mall, and check this guys out. Truly amazed. I will definitely go again. I was able to SLEEP SOUNDLY read more

This is the best ever place to get a massage!!!!! The tall guy has wonderfully large hands & gives deep tissue massages beautifully!! and they are always kind!! I've always gotten more than an hour & never felt required to tip!! The only drawback is they need better ambience like piped in relaxing music as all you hear are sounds from outside in mall. They have a frequent customer card where you get 10th massage free!! read more

I highly recommend Miracle Chi Gong Massage! The store is alway clean and quiet and they are very respectful and hard working. Over the years I have endured massage therapists who jabber at me during the massage, massages that left me sick (flu like symproms rhe next day) and a sliding scale of fees for different degees of massage. It's so nice to get a message from someone who knows the right amount of pressure to apply for my issues (without being told what the issues are - she just knows) and body type, and doesn't spend the entire massage making small talk to get to know me....I'm not there to make friends. Unkike traditional massages I not only leave feelling better, but I'm not sick the next day. I also like that I am charged by the time spent not the degree of energy the therapist invested, which leaves me free to tip accordingly. And I am always inclined by the service received to tip! read more

I've been using this service for about two years going back to when they were in the Sunrise Mall. After a couple of times the woman started to be not so friendly. Even though they do not speak English you could still pick up a weird wibe from her, even though she never gave me a massage, always the tall man. I was in there yesterday 2-11-2012 and when I walked in I noticed the tall man was not there. I asked for him and the woman replied with attitude (HE CHINA). Assuming she meant he went back to China. So another man gave me my massage. After it was finished I went to pay and have my card signed ( buy ten get one free) when the woman said with not such polite tone (YOU MUST TIP). I looked at the menu board trying to locate where it stated that tipping was mandatory. I could not find such a rule. I said to her the board says 20 minutes 20 dollars. She then said in her broken English ( YOU MUST TIP OR NO MASSAGE). She has banned me from the store because I did not tip. To me this was quite shocking. I am giving this business the two stars because the massage the give albeit sometimes are to hard and not to relaxing but do the job to relieve some discomfort. Otherwise I would not reccommend this massage business to anyone because of the strong-arm tatics used to get a tip. read more
