Tai Ji Wellness

I love this place and I have been coming back here since they opened. They will take walk ins. This is basically a therapy session. If you’re looking for a soft relaxing massage you probably shouldn’t come here — go to a spa. I enjoy extremely deep tissue massage work and they know how to do it right. You’ll always get a free bottle of cold water after your massage too.

It’s not for the faint of heart. I had the 20 minute table treatment. Just to be clear, if you need accupressure, it’s going to hurt. There were a couple of times when I was near my pain threshold and almost asked him to stop. The results were worth it though. He loosened up my lower back better than it’s been in years. I’d go again.

I went here on Mothers day. I got the 30 min Body acupressure. I am a Licenced Massage Therapist over 10 years and have read up on acupressure and really wanted to try it. The Man who did mine started out gently and great pressure, then he went deep I told him that hurts to deep and he would more on to another part of my body. Then whole process was done with his elbow and full body weight the 30 min is done on a table 20 min and less in a chair and you cannot apply as much pressure. When he got to my glutes and when in full body weight I thought I was going to die. And when he rocked my body he had his finger in my butt crack. SORRY we as therapists would be in so much trouble for that. By then he was done and ended the session by slapping flat handed the whole back side of the body. I had tears running do my face by now what I told him I could not take and more and all he said was «done». The man I had did not speak english so I do not think he understood he was hurting me I was so sore so I had to take a muscle
is 4 days later and the soreness from that acupressure is going away. I have studied this and had many, many deep tissue massages and never been sore like this.

This place is over at re Oakland mall by jcpennys on the lower level. The people there are really nice and do a great job at massaging. I got the reflexology done and my mom had the acupressure done. I have been going there at least once a month ever since. Oh and you don’t have to make an appt. You just walk up although there is always the chance you may have to wait if other people are receiving treatments.
