Neck and Shoulder Massage in Ho Chi Minh City

You can book a neck and shoulder massage at Tong Gia’s two branches in Ho Chi Minh City: 225 Duong Thi Muoi Street, Tan Chanh Hiep Ward, District 12 (open daily 8:00–19:00), and Unit T16-21, The Manhattan, Vinhomes Grand Park, Long Binh Ward, Thu Duc City (open daily 9:00–20:00). A neck & shoulder or lower-back session costs 550,000 VND for 60 minutes (about $21) or 750,000 VND for 90 minutes (about $29), and a lighter head spa with neck and shoulder massage is 250,000 VND for 60 minutes (about $10).

Stiff necks and heavy shoulders are one of the most common reasons people walk into Tong Gia. Long hours at a laptop, looking down at a phone, riding a motorbike through Saigon traffic or sleeping on a long-haul flight all leave the same feeling: a tight band from the base of the skull down to the shoulder blades. This page explains what a focused session involves and which option fits you.

Why a neck and shoulder massage in Saigon starts at the spine

Tension in the neck rarely stays in the neck. It pulls on the upper back, and the upper back is connected to how you hold your whole spine. That is why the practitioner does not jump straight to your shoulders.

First comes a quick observation: how high each shoulder sits, whether your head leans forward, the colour and tiredness of your face. Lương Y Tống Văn Huynh, the founder and a traditional Vietnamese wellness master, built this habit of looking before touching into every session. Then, with you face down, the practitioner runs their fingers along the spine to find where it feels tight or guarded.

What happens during the 60 or 90 minutes

After the spine check, the main part of the session focuses on the areas that need it most:

• Neck: thumbs press points at the base of the skull and along the sides of the neck, then the muscles are kneaded and stretched gently.
• Shoulders and shoulder blades: both hands press down and sweep outward to release the tops of the shoulders, then work along the edges of the shoulder blades.
• Upper and lower back: palm pressure along each side of the spine. If you booked the lower-back version, more of the time goes to the waist and lower back.

The session ends with a warm herbal compress and a foot soak. Pressure is discussed all the way through; you can ask for gentler work at any time.

The 90-minute session gives room to work the neck, shoulders and lower back properly instead of choosing one area. If you mainly want a relaxing reset, the head spa with neck and shoulder massage (60 minutes) is lighter and costs less.

Back massage in Saigon: who this suits

• Office workers and remote workers with tight shoulders at the end of the week.
• Motorbike riders and drivers who feel stiffness between the shoulder blades.
• Travellers arriving after a long flight; see also the jet lag massage page.
• Anyone who prefers a focused session over a full-body routine. For an all-over session, look at the traditional Vietnamese massage.

If you have sharp pain, numbness or pain after an injury, please see a licensed physician before booking a massage.

Should I choose 60 or 90 minutes? Choose 60 minutes if your tension is mainly in the neck and shoulders. Choose 90 minutes if your lower back also feels tight and you want both areas covered without rushing.

Will it hurt? It should not. The practitioner asks about pressure throughout and adjusts it to what feels comfortable for you.
