Cheonan massage spa with a private aroma room: Rutai Massage

My body has been feeling so stiff lately, so I went to Rutai Massage Cheonan Sinbuldang Branch (루타이마사지 천안신불당점) in Buldang-dong, Cheonan for a little solo healing time. I visited thinking I’d try it by myself first and bring my parents later if it was good. If you’re looking for a massage in Cheonan to treat your parents, or a nice place in Buldang-dong, I recommend this clean Rutai Massage shop with great massage care.

The shop atmosphere and waiting area

When I walked in, the interior felt clean and tidy overall.

There was a sofa and a rattan rocking chair, so it was comfortable to sit and wait for a moment. The shop is fairly spacious with a calm atmosphere, so it also feels easy to bring your parents here.

Foot bath and foot scrub before the treatment

Before the treatment, you start with a foot bath.

They float a flower in warm pink water, and while you soak your feet and rest for a bit, the therapist comes over and gives you a foot scrub too. The foot bath warmed me up a little and made the fatigue feel like it was easing away.

Private-room aroma treatment and shower room

Following the hallway, there are several separate rooms. Since I went alone, I was shown to a private room.

I liked that the mattress, towels, pillows, and other hygiene details were neatly kept. The treatment I received that day was a 75-minute aroma treatment! For an aroma treatment, you remove all your clothes for the massage. Since oil is applied to the body, they also provided separate disposable underwear.

There is also a room for three people, so I think it would be nice to bring my parents.

An aroma treatment focused on shoulders and legs

Before the massage began in earnest, they asked whether I had any uncomfortable areas, whether I had a lower-back or neck disc issue, and where I was feeling sore. I said my shoulders and legs felt tight, and they gave those areas extra attention during the massage. They found the knotted spots around my shoulders and pressed them firmly; the pressure was just right, and it loosened everything up so nicely.

The therapist was Thai, so complicated communication was difficult, but simple communication about massage pressure, body areas, and room temperature was no problem. Overall, I was satisfied because the treatment was so attentive. After the massage, I used the shower room. The shower rooms are separated for men and women, and I really liked that they had a hair dryer and basic supplies such as toothbrushes, towels, and shower towels all ready.

After the massage, warm tea and snacks were prepared for guests to enjoy too.

I also noticed at the counter that they have a points program! Cash payment: 6% points Card payment: 3% points Using points: Available in ₩10,000 increments on weekdays Points are earned depending on the payment method and can be used in ₩10,000 increments on weekdays, so it seems worth keeping in mind if you plan to visit often~

A place for solo healing that I’d like to revisit with my parents

It was a great place to go alone and quietly recharge. I was happy overall with the interior, hygiene, and massage, so next time I’m thinking of coming back with my parents for a Cheonan massage. If you’re looking for a clean massage shop in Buldang-dong, Cheonan, or a place to treat your parents, keep this one in mind.
