Tong Gia does not have a branch inside Go Vap; the nearest one for a massage is the District 12 branch at 225 Duong Thi Muoi Street, Tan Chanh Hiep Ward, open 8:00 to 20:00 every day. Most guests from Go Vap book the neck & shoulder or lower-back session for 60 minutes (550,000 VND, about $21) or 90 minutes (750,000 VND, about $29) and leave before rush hour so they are home in time for dinner.
The question Go Vap guests ask most on Zalo and WhatsApp is simple: “Is it far to District 12, and is it worth the trip?” This guide answers exactly that, for locals, for visitors staying with family in Go Vap, and for Viet Kieu booking a session for parents who live there: what time to go, how long to book, and how to fit the ride and the session into one afternoon.
When the extra ride is worth it
Go Vap has plenty of massage shops close to home. People who choose to ride a little further to Tan Chanh Hiep usually fit one of three cases:
- One area has ached for a long time. A relaxing massage feels good for a day or two, then the stiffness comes back. They want a technician who traces the spine to find where the muscle is knotted, not a general rub.
- They want to be asked first. What work you do, whether you sit or stand most, how you sleep, which side feels worse.
- They like a clear price list. The price is quoted before starting and nothing is added afterwards.
If you only want to unwind after a long day, a shop near home is enough. If you are in one of the three cases above, the trip to District 12 is usually worth it.
Pick a time slot that does not eat the whole day
- Early afternoon, around 13:00 to 15:00. Roads are usually lighter and the branch is quieter. This suits morning-shift workers, anyone with a half day off, and older parents whose children drive them over.
- Weekend mornings. The branch opens at 8:00, so an early session leaves time to get home for lunch with the family.
- After work. Possible, but the branch closes at 20:00, so a 60-minute session should start by about 18:45 at the latest. Rush-hour traffic is heavy, so leave extra time.
Whatever the slot, message ahead so the front desk can hold your time and you can go straight in without waiting.
60 or 90 minutes?
| Your situation | Session | Retail price |
|---|---|---|
| One clearly sore area, short on time | Neck & shoulder or lower-back session, 60 min | 550,000 VND (about $21) |
| Months of stiffness, neck and back together | Same session, 90 min | 750,000 VND (about $29) |
| General tiredness, want to relax the muscles | Traditional Vietnamese massage, 60 or 90 min | 450,000 / 550,000 VND |
| Heavy legs from standing | Heavy legs session, 60 min | 500,000 VND (about $19) |
Since you are already making the trip, many guests pick 90 minutes so the technician has enough time to loosen the muscle before the acupressure. Full retail prices are on the prices page.
What a 90-minute neck, shoulder and back session looks like
- Questions and posture. The technician asks about your work, how you sit, and when you sleep, then checks whether one shoulder sits lower or your head pushes forward.
- Tracing the spine from neck to lower back. Hands look for knotted muscle and spots that feel tight when pressed.
- Loosening the muscle. Palms and the heel of the hand press and glide along both sides of the spine and around the shoulder blades, with pressure building only as you allow.
- Acupressure by area. Points on the neck, shoulders and along the back are pressed following the spinal reflex-balance method that Lương Y Tống Văn Huynh uses to train Tong Gia technicians.
- Warmth and rest before the ride home. A warm herbal compress, a foot soak, warm water, and a few minutes lying still.
That last step matters for anyone riding back to Go Vap. Do not jump on the motorbike the moment you sit up; give your body a few minutes to feel fully alert.

Before you book
Tong Gia offers hands-on traditional wellness care. If pain lasts a long time, spreads down an arm or leg, gets worse at night, or follows a fall, 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.
