Sansan Health Centre

I’ve been here twice. Tim is the guy that massages me. He is very nice has great pressure!
Prices are good but the etiquette is way off.
The staff don’t have any respect for people while the customers are getting massage because they slam the doors, laugh, and talk loud on the phone. It’s impossible to fully relax.
The «manager» came into the room and insisted for my home address to write a RMT receipt. I said no and then she refused to give me the receipt. I’ve been other places and they never asked for the private information. It was very uncomfortable.
The place is run down and I think it’s a rub and tug at night… Oh well, I enjoyed my massage and would like to see Tim in a professional place to avoid all the other nonsense.

I get frequent Chinatown massages & treatments, so the bare bones aesthetics of the place didn’t phase me. I’m also have a background as a natural health practitioner myself (though I don’t work too much in that field currently) so I’m very familiar with the various ways reflexology and shiatsu are performed. But I was shocked at how poor the bodywork was here. It literally just felt like she had been randomly called upon to rub my feet and back. There was no proper reflexology technique used, and the «shiatsu» was just her elbows being dug into me. I don’t think she actually hit one real pressure point.
To be honest, the level of expertise of the massage here was so low, that I started to suspect that maybe this place was an «exotic» massage parlor and that I’d made a terrible mistake. The fact that I heard several men come in and ask for one particular woman by name didn’t help that. Nor did the fact that they used Jerkins and baby oil for the massages. While most of the women working there were dressed in comfy yoga pants, I also was a bit thrown that one employee was wearing heeled wedges and a denim mini skirt (in the middle of winter, no less). It just seemed out of place for any legitimate bodywork establishment.
While my masseuse was certainly pleasant enough, I would *never* return to Sansan.
Not only was the massage terrible, the towels were extremely dingy. Not just a little. A lot.

Service was terrible the guy who worked on my feet fell asleep part way. I’ve been to other massage centers and received much better service. They also stopped at 45 min and didn’t give 1 hour like advertised.

I was hesitated to walk in at first, due to the pink signage, but they seem to be the busiest place in the area. They occupied both basement and 2^nd floor. Mamasan lead me to upstairs. The massage lady who worked on me was Connie, she’s been doing this for year and a half, like most of them are trained by boss, very hard working lady works 6 days a week. The massage was typical Asian style, first half was pressure point over a towel, the second half uses some oil. She found all my knots, and the pressure was just right. 60min for $ 45 plus $ 10 tips. I will be back!

One of the random Chinatown places you can pick up a cheap massage. They beckon you in down a stairs to a little studio, sectioned off into little rooms. Everything was clean and they were very friendly.
It’s pretty good value-​I got a 30min massage for $ 26 which really worked on my tight neck and shoulders and felt longer than half an hour. Could hear another woman next door as she was leaving and she was singing their praises…
Downside was funny smell from sheet covering table-​almost like dry cleaning chemicals or something? I might have been unlucky with that particular day. Must try again. I think my shoulders could do with it!
