How to Book Massage in Manila – Complete Step-by-Step Guide 2026

Step 1: Choose Your Massage Type

Before anything else, decide what you need:

• Stress/Relaxation? → Japanese Shiatsu or Aromatherapy Oil Massage
• Muscle Pain/Tightness? → Deep Tissue Massage
• Chronic Pain/Sleep Issues? → Medical Nerve Therapy
• Tired Feet? → Foot Reflexology
• Not Sure? → Contact the spa and describe your symptoms — good therapists will recommend the right treatment

Step 2: Choose Your Location Format

Do you want to go to a clinic, or receive home/hotel service?

• Clinic: Better for therapeutic depth, more focused environment, often better value
• Home/Hotel Service: More convenient, same quality at Dr.massage BGC, slight travel fee applies

Step 3: Book via WhatsApp (Easiest Method for Dr.massage BGC)

For Dr.massage BGC, the simplest booking is via WhatsApp at +63 917 801 7399:

1. Message with your preferred treatment and date/time
2. Confirm your name
3. For home service, provide your address
4. Receive confirmation (usually within 5–10 minutes)

For in-clinic visits, walk-ins are also welcome daily 8PM–1AM.

Step 4: Prepare for Your Session

• Arrive 5–10 minutes early for in-clinic appointments
• For oil massage: shower beforehand if possible
• For shiatsu: wear loose, comfortable clothing
• Eat lightly (no heavy meal within 90 minutes)
• Bring cash for tips (₱100–₱200 for a 60-min session)

Step 5: Communicate with Your Therapist

When your session starts, tell your therapist:

• Your primary problem areas
• Pressure preference (light / medium / firm)
• Any health conditions or injuries
• If it's your first time

Good therapists welcome this information. Don't stay silent about preferences.

Step 6: Post-Session Care

• Drink water immediately after
• Rest in the relaxation area (or at home for home service)
• Avoid intense exercise for 24 hours after deep tissue
• Tip your therapist before leaving
• Book your next appointment if the session was effective
