People always ask how do you find a place like that. I usually just search google maps in my local area for ‘reflexology’ or ‘deep tissue massage’. I note if it’s a pretty run down place vs a fancy spa (the latter is not usually a place that would have massage strength that is acceptable to me).

With that, I’ve been able to find good spots in really random places. Helsinki. Budapest. Lots of places. Anywhere there are Chinese migrants there’s a good massage spot. So that’s everywhere.

In places with a larger Chinese diaspora I get more specific. I can search by type (acupuncture, tuina, guasha)

I ask other people who know and who can recommend.

There is a lot of bad Chinese ‘massage’ out in the world and even worse acupuncture etc so I generally don’t do those things unless I know it’s run by an expert or shifu (theology recommendations).
