Lucky Foot Massage / Health Center Massage

Okay I don’t mean to be a complainerI think we must have had just a weird, one-​off experience.
When we went in my husband and I said we would take 2 of the hour long massages. We went into separate rooms and mine was incredible– she got all the ‘hurt-​so-​bad’ parts, and the hot stone treatment felt great. She told me I was finished, and I was confused because it had only been 30 minutes. Thinking I misunderstood her due to the language barrier, I just stayed in the room until she came in again, and told me I was finished. I said I had gotten an hour massage, not half an hour and she just shook her head, and I went downstairs, confused. They sent me back upstairs to wait for my husband, who did have the hour massage. It was all very strange.
Then we went to pay, and luckily they only charged me for the 30 minute massage, they asked for a tip. My husband said $ 20 ($ 10 each), and the old lady shook her head and said, «no, more– they work on you for a long time». Except they messed up with just giving two of the same massage and left me super confused– and is $ 10 for a (rounded) 45 massage even so bad? My husband was nicer than I was and added more to the tip, but I thought it was super rude of her to demand more of a tip before she’d finish the transaction on our card. Isn’t the part of a tip that it’s discretionary? I could have easily dismissed the misunderstanding with the time, but I left with a pretty sour taste in my mouth when the old lady demanded more money for a tip. Will probably try other Chinatown massage places before I’d return as a result.

Great reflexology foot massage by Jeff! Highly recommended! First he soaks your feet in hot water and he gives you a neck massage. Then you relax back on a big chair with pillows and a heated neck pillow. Ahhhh. Then he massages your feet and your legs from the knee down. He was very thorough and did a great job. No English though so don’t expect any explanations — just lay back and enjoy. Then he takes some hot stones and rubs your legs and feet with them — very nice and soothing. Finally he rubs down your feet and legs with hot towels. One hour for only $ 35. Crazy good.

This was my first foot massage experience.
I had no idea what I was walking into as this is not an experience which I would call relaxing. I felt really apprehensive about the constant poking or pressure point techniques employed. It was such a fascinating experience to watch and endure.
So, while I wouldn’t recommend this for the frilly do-​das that want to walk out smelling of lavender and lotus ho-​ha, I would recommend everyone to try this experience and see how their body reacts to it. Because for me, the next day my feet did feel super amazing. I feel like the circulation has significantly increased and my feet have really opened up in terms of flexibility.
Also, the staff is amazing. I had a hard time keeping my giggles together and they were totally understanding and not rude or offended by my genuine oversensitive ticklish feet:) They provided such genuine understanding — I was pleased.
Warning — I know NOTHING about reflexology… But I know a lot about customer service and they nailed that!
Give it a go!

This place offers very inexpensive massages and I had a nice experience there. The two people that worked there were very friendly and the massage was satisfying.

Many options, but the wife and I did the 30 min foot massage (5 min foot bath+ 25 min foot massage) for 20 bucks… ya can’t beat that. Before starting, they asked if we wanted a strong or light massage. I got the «strong» version, and it was solid.
Both ladies had good personalities, and as a bonus mine also had great lips.

Great place to finish the day after being around town. Never done so much walking on vacation but we did not want to miss anything. We were so tired by the end of the night and needed something to relax and enjoy. This place was perfect. Afterwards we felt much better. The facility was clean, the workers were friendly and the work they did was amazing for a great price. Don’t miss out on this place if your moving around and on your feet a lot.

I do not recommend. Service or lack there of. Provider and massage was not worth the money.

I tried this place because of all of the positive reviews and because I’ve been having bad neck and shoulder pain today. The good reviews were for foot massage and I think I shouldn’t have gone off of those.
I got a 15 min chair massage for $ 15 and it wasn’t great (you get what you pay for I guess). She listened to what I wanted and tried, but she used her elbows a good amount of the time, and finished with the karate chop method. The rest of the time just wasn’t hard enough or wasn’t really getting my problem areas.
Needless to say my neck and shoulder pain hasn’t gone away at all.
Maybe the foot massages are better, but I’ll never go here again.

Found this place two days before having to leave.
Got a full body massage and then went back next day for the 60 minute foot massage. Loved both massages! Very deep tissue oriented and absolutely felt like I had wished I’d found it sooner because I would have went everyday I was here for the price and quality of the massages!

NEEDED a good massage and this was heaven sent! I feel bad that I didn’t get the elderly lady’s name but she was awesome! I underestimated her but she is one strong woman! She worked my back muscles better than the deep tissue massages I’ve paid hundreds of dollars for at fru-​fru spas. She had just barely started on my foot massage when she said «tsk tsk, you have much pain in your stomach & back. You need more sleep.» Ok, I am admitting on the internet that I have a sensitive stomach and am constipated… there, I said it… and pushing 50, my lower back is not like it used to be when I was a spry spring chicken. And how did she know I take sleeping pills for insomnia??? Could she see all this from my bloated belly, poor posture, and the 50 piece luggage under my eyes? Welcome to the world of Reflexology! All those tight muscles told her what she needed to work on and she did a fantastic job! I felt like I was floating away as the tension was being released. It is a little painful especially when tender areas are worked on but those areas are tender because that’s what needs to be work on. :-D
Too bad I found this place the day before we are to head back home. I will definitely return when we come back to San Francisco.

Bruce, treated us so well and was very accommodating. He was very kind and social — he was telling me about the different pressure points in my feet. The massage was nice… although it was not as strong as I would like it. I am used to hard (and a bit painful) massages in the past, but Bruce informed me that painful and hard is not the way to go. Overall, it was good experience.

This was worst massage I’ve ever had! I’ve been to foot spas and Massage Envy type places many times. I know a good massage when I see one. This was horrible!
My two friends and I made appointments and were excited after a long day of walking. When we arrived, the gentleman at the desk said they also have a woman who has done chiropractic work for 40 years and could really focus on specific areas. I opted for this one as it sounded great.
Unfortunately, the woman who did my «massage» clearly had no training whatsoever. Chiropractic or otherwise. There was zero technique. She couldn’t tell the difference between what was muscle and what was bone. She jumped around from my back to my legs and back again several times. The pressure was all over the place, too soft and too hard. It was a mess. There was really no good way to tell her how to improve it. I also felt bad because she was a bit older. Maybe 70? So I didn’t want to be rude.
I left feeling worse than when I arrived. More tense and frustrated.
I will say that my two friends had good experiences with their massages, so who knows what was up with my person. Watch out!

I had asked for Bruce because of the other reviews here but was told that he was busy– so they gave me an elderly lady instead.
She was strong, which I liked, but unfortunately, she barely massaged the soles of my feet and hardly did any accupressure — which is the purpose of a foot massage. She kept on rubbing everything else (the top of my feet and ankles) and strangely focused alot on the bony areas, which was uncomfortable. If part of a normal massage, those areas are fine, but when that’s the only thing she’s rubbing for 60 minutes, it gets raw.
I would consider going back again to see if another person does a better job.

Really enjoyed my foot massage here. Helped my plantar fasciitis a lot. Staff was really friendly too. Going back for a second time in two days!

Alright the outside of this place seems a bit sketchy but then again it’s San Francisco and some of the best places are just that.
I first started with Mimi who was great for the first 5 minutes I had her but unfortunately client comes in requesting her specifically so Bruce came in to replace her. He was outstanding. Excellent customer service skills and provided me with specific information to which pressure point activated what area.
I have never received such an excellent reflexology massage and so therefore I was impressed. Looking forward to going back and having either Mimi or Bruce take care of me.

Have Came here Several times. Bruce is a Amazing healer. He seems very skilled with the pressure points.
The place isn’t fancy but gets straight to the point
I prefer him over others here, however every one here is Good and friendly.
Good after a long day.
Thanx lucky massage

Went here last night, on thanksgiving of all days, and sat right down. Got the 30 minute foot massage with 10 minute soak and then 10 minutes on my back. Lady working there was very nice and did a great job. For 35 bucks and a 10 dollar tip, it was the best money I have spent in a while. Very quiet in there. I almost fell asleep. They speak a little english, just enough to get you by. Probably going back tonight.

One of several reflexology/​foot massage places in Chinatown. Chose Lucky because of location and other reviews! So glad I did!
Don’t expect fancy schmancy when you walk in. Simple décor, comfy seats, and really nice staff.
After days of walking the streets of San Francisco my feet were super sore and so swollen I could barely get my ankle boots zipped. After about 30 minutes of a warm water bath soak and message treatment, and $ 25 VERY well spent, I was SO relaxed and completely rejuvenated… and I could stick my entire hand down inside my boot. Amazing!
I have had reflexology performed several times before at several different locations, and Bruce, my therapist, found and treated places that I never knew I had issues with before. He picked up on my dreadful insomnia in a poke (literally…lol). I shot off the chair about two feet! Bruce showed me a way to treat myself every evening prior to bed to improve sleep, and I have to say it is working. I learned a new technique that nobody had ever shown me before. Very well-​versed in the art of reflexology.
Oh, and my husband REALLY enjoyed his message too… but sshhhh… he wasn’t there… really…nah uh. ;)

$ 25 for a 30 minute chair massage. It was really good. The ambiance was not there, one of the ladies was watching a chinese drama in the massage room (which is a shared space with about 10 chairs lined up) and the massage chair i was on felt and sounded like it would break (hence the minus one star).
But the massage itself was great! My lady, unfortunately i did not ask for her name, focused mainly on my shoulders, neck, and upper back, which is exactly what i wanted. She had good pressure, on the firmer side but at no point painful.
She also spent a little time on my arms, hips, and thigh. She seriously covered all of the spots that were aching or tight.
If the environment is a huge factor for you, I do not recommend this place. However if you just want a massage that feels really good, definitely check it out.
Just a heads up they speak little English, but enough to get by, and they accept credit card!

Don’t do it!
They’re horrible! Like they hurt my back so bad! I have no idea what that was, but it wasn’t a massage! They just kinda push on you for 30 mins!
Lady was super rude. Stuff kept beeping, she was loud. Not relaxing at all!
I had to go be by right shoulder checked at the doctor because it’s been hurting like crazy ever since! Like seriously don’t go there!
They get pissed if you don’t tip!
