Solo foot bath, scrub and 90-minute aroma in Cheonan: Rutai Massage

At work I'm usually staring at a computer or bent over looking down, ugh, and on top of that I'm on my feet for long stretches sometimes, so my whole body gets knotted up... and I swell up a lot too.

I went to Rutai Massage after getting a recommendation for Cheonan aroma massage, and they focused on exactly the spots that were usually aching, so it felt so good, ㅠㅠㅠ

Let's get right into it.

Where is Rutai Massage Cheonan Sinbuldang Branch, and when is it open?

Rutai Massage is a shop in Buldang-dong that people recommend for Cheonan aroma massage haha. It's right in the center of Sinbuldang so it's super easy to get to!!

Thai-style interior and the foot bath area at Rutai Massage

Inside Rutai Massage is decorated in this Thai style, so it really felt like getting a massage in Thailand haha.

What I liked most of all was this foot bath area!!! The chairs were comfortable and the interior and props were so distinctive that I could have just soaked my feet for 30 minutes alone... haha

Private, couple and group rooms: what you get when you come alone

Inside Rutai Massage Cheonan Sinbuldang Branch there's everything from a private room to a couple room and a group room, and since I came alone, I got treated in the private room!!

The treatment room was kept so spotless that I wanted to come back next time with my boyfriend to try their Cheonan couple massage.

The private room felt cozy, while the couple room and group room were spacious and open, giving a relaxed feeling haha. The towels were full of a nice scent too, so it felt healing just from that.

At a massage shop you're either dressed lightly for the treatment, or for something like Cheonan aroma massage you wear disposable underwear only, so you can't help being sensitive about cleanliness — and Rutai Massage hit exactly the spot for me!!!

90-minute aroma massage for 80,000 won: shoulders, trapezius and leg swelling

My shoulders and trapezius are usually really knotted, and my legs don't circulate well, so by evening I'm all swollen. Once the Cheonan aroma massage started, they massaged my body gently but pinpointed exactly the spots that were bad — it was so surprising.

They started with the back and arms, then moved to the back of the legs, then the front of the legs in order — and they worked the arms both from behind and from the front, so it felt so, so good!!!

I got the 90-minute aroma treatment at Rutai Cheonan Sinbuldang Branch, and the price for Cheonan aroma treatment is ₩80,000.

It was full-body aroma + foot massage + stomach massage + scalp + Thai stretching + yamong, and the therapist did full-body aroma for the entire 90 minutes for me — I wondered if it's adjusted based on the condition of the person receiving it.

Foot bath and foot scrub before the massage starts

Before the aroma massage, I changed into a robe and did the foot bath first!!!! Starting with a foot bath to loosen up the body before the massage seemed to make it even better haha haha

It's not just the foot bath either — once that's done, you can also get a scrub, so you can take care of foot calluses too. I want to come back with my parents haha.

It's the kind of massage where you can feel the expert skill, so they work without causing pain, and everything from swelling to knots gets completely loosened, ㅠㅠㅠ

The treatment room has air conditioning and a heated mat, so you can get a Cheonan Buldang-dong massage cool in summer and warm in winter — great to visit with friends, as a couple, or alone.

Showers after the massage: can you head straight to a meet-up?

With Cheonan aroma massage it's hard to head straight to an appointment because of the oil, but Rutai Massage has separate men's and women's showers, so I felt like they had everything covered before, during, and after the treatment haha.

I had a date right after, so I used the shower, and toiletries and a hair dryer were all provided, which was so convenient.

I'd recommend it whether you pop in during your lunch break at work, stop by before heading home after work, or go on the weekend for a Cheonan couple massage haha.

A Cheonan Buldang-dong massage shop that's full of Thai vibes — Rutai Massage!!! Highly recommend it haha.
