Acupressure massage Saigon: where to go, hours and prices (Q&A)

Tong Gia team · Lương Y Tống Văn Huynh · 2026-10-23

For acupressure massage in Saigon, Tong Gia has two branches: 225 Duong Thi Muoi Street, Tan Chanh Hiep Ward, District 12, open daily 8:00 to 19:00, and Unit T16-21, The Manhattan, Vinhomes Grand Park, Long Binh Ward, Thu Duc City, open daily 9:00 to 20:00. A 60-minute traditional Vietnamese massage built around acupoint pressure costs 450,000 VND (about 17 USD), and a 60-minute session focused only on the neck and shoulders or the lower back costs 550,000 VND (about 21 USD).

Saigon days are long, hot and often spent walking or sitting in traffic. This Q&A is written for that visitor: someone who wants pressure in the right places and needs the practical answers fast. For background on the style, see our traditional Vietnamese massage page.

Which part of Saigon are the branches in?

Neither branch is in District 1, so plan a ride with a taxi or ride-hailing app.

When should I fit it into a sightseeing day?

District 12 opens at 8:00, so an early session leaves the rest of the day free. Vinhomes Grand Park closes at 20:00, which makes it the evening option after a day out. Late afternoon is a sensible choice too: the legs are tired from walking and the worst of the heat has passed.

Which session fits my budget?

All prices are retail, per visit, and the same at both branches. The full list is on the prices page.

• Traditional Vietnamese massage, 60 min: 450,000 VND (about 17 USD). Acupressure across the back, neck, arms and legs.
• Traditional Vietnamese massage, 90 min: 550,000 VND (about 21 USD). Same coverage, slower pace.
• Neck & shoulder or lower-back session, 60 min: 550,000 VND (about 21 USD). The whole hour on one region.
• Neck & shoulder or lower-back session, 90 min: 750,000 VND (about 29 USD).
• Full body session, 120 min: 950,000 VND (about 37 USD).

Which points will the technician press?

That depends on what they find when they run their hands along your spine at the start, a habit taught by the founder, Lương Y Tống Văn Huynh, a traditional Vietnamese wellness master with over 13 years of practice. Some points come up often:

• Laptop neck: Phong Trì (GB20) under the base of the skull and Kiên Tỉnh (GB21) on the ridge of the shoulder.
• Backpack shoulders: Thiên Tông (SI11) in the middle of the shoulder blade, plus the muscle along its inner edge.
• Long rides and flights: points beside the spine in the lower back, then the backs of the knees.
• Walking all day: the calves and the area just below the knee, followed by the foot soak at the end.

Points are pressed for a few seconds, released, then the muscle around them is kneaded so it does not stay tense.

How is the pressure decided?

You decide. The technician starts moderate and asks how it feels. Tight points usually produce a dull ache that fades as the muscle lets go; anything sharp means the pressure should drop. Saying “lighter” or “stronger” is all it takes.

Should anyone skip acupressure?

Skip it if you have a fever, a fresh sunburn on the back, or have just had a heavy meal or alcohol. If you are pregnant, take blood thinners, bruise easily or live with a long-term health condition, see a licensed physician first and tell the technician before you begin.

How do I book from my hotel?

Message WhatsApp or Zalo at +84 888 264 559. One message with the branch, date, start time, session name and number of people is enough. Staff mainly speak Vietnamese and reply to English with a translation tool. For an evening slot, message earlier in the day so staff can confirm a time.
