Massage District 9 Ho Chi Minh City | Huyệt Đạo Tống Gia
Tong Gia team · Lương Y Tống Văn Huynh · 2026-10-28
For a massage in District 9, Tong Gia’s branch is at Unit T16-21, The Manhattan, Vinhomes Grand Park, Long Binh Ward, Thu Duc City (District 9), open 9:00 to 20:00 every day. On a first visit most guests book either the 60-minute traditional Vietnamese massage at 450,000 VND (about $17) to relax the whole body, or the focused neck & shoulder or lower-back session at 550,000 VND (about $21) for 60 minutes or 750,000 VND (about $29) for 90 minutes.
The question the District 9 front desk hears most on WhatsApp is not “where are you?” but “which session should I book first?”. The price list is long, and newcomers tend to pick the cheapest line or the name that sounds nicest. This guide helps you choose by what your body actually needs, then walks you through the session and the way in.
Three common situations, three different choices
You sit at a screen all day and your shoulders feel like stone by evening. If you only have about an hour after work, the neck & shoulder session, 60 minutes (550,000 VND) fits best. The technician’s hands stay on the neck, shoulders and shoulder blades instead of spreading across the whole body.
Your lower back has ached for months, and bending to tie your shoes feels like a chore. This needs time for the technician to trace the lower spine and then warm the waist, so the lower-back session, 90 minutes (750,000 VND) is the better match.
Your parents are visiting from abroad or from the countryside, walking all day and sleeping lightly. Families in the township often book them the full body session, 120 minutes (950,000 VND), so the work goes slowly from head to feet with time to rest afterwards.
There is no single “right” session for everyone. The right one is the one that gives enough time to the area that bothers you.
Choosing in one minute
| What you feel | Session | Retail price |

How a 90-minute session runs in District 9
- Questions and observation (about 5 minutes). Where does it ache, for how long, what work do you do, how do you sleep? The technician also looks at how you stand, whether one shoulder sits higher, and how you bend.
- Tracing the spine. The hands move from the base of the skull down to the waist, feeling for knotted muscle, cooler skin, and spots that feel tight when pressed.
- Loosening the muscle. Palms, the heel of the hand and the forearm soften the layers around those spots, with pressure building only as far as you are comfortable.
- Acupressure on the right area. The technician presses points along both sides of the spine and the related areas, following the spinal reflex-balance method that Lương Y Tống Văn Huynh uses to train every Tong Gia technician.
- Warmth and rest. A warm herbal compress, a foot soak and a cup of warm water before you leave.
If the pressure feels too strong on your first visit, say so straight away. A short “nhẹ thôi” (lighter, please) works, and English is fine too. The right pressure is one you can relax into, not one that makes you hold your breath.

Good to know before you book
Tong Gia offers hands-on traditional wellness care. If pain lasts a long time, spreads into your arms or legs, comes with numbness or weakness, or gets worse at night, please see a licensed physician first. Skip a session if you have a fever, have just eaten a heavy meal, or have an open wound on the area to be worked. If you are pregnant, tell the front desk when you book.
FAQ
Should I book 60 or 90 minutes for my first massage in District 9? If one area is mildly sore and you are short on time, 60 minutes is enough. If the ache has lasted months, or covers both neck and lower back, 90 minutes gives the technician time to loosen the muscle before the acupressure.
What are the opening hours of the District 9 branch? The branch at Unit T16-21, The Manhattan, Vinhomes Grand Park opens 9:00 to 20:00 every day. Book ahead on WhatsApp or Zalo +84 888 264 559 to avoid waiting.
Are there any charges beyond the listed price? No. The technician quotes from the retail price list before starting and you agree first. You pay in cash or by bank transfer after the session.
