Everyone needs a good massage once in a while, especially after prolonged periods of hunching over our desks while working. Sadly, massages in Singapore are terribly expensive, with prices starting from $60+ at the more affordable chains.
Many who want cheap and good often head over to JB where there's a whole lot of massage parlours with a full suite of massage services. From nearby City Square Mall to Mid Valley Southkey, Paradigm Mall and more, here's a list of cheap massage places in JB to soothe your aching back.
JB massage parlour | Cheapest foot massage | Cheapest full body massage |
Century Health Care & Beauty | S$11 (RM38) for 30 min | S$21.80 (RM72) for 60 min full body massage |

These massage parlours in JB are just some of the popular ones in the areas where Singaporeans tend to frequent such as City Square Mall near Woodlands Checkpoint, KSL City, Taman Pelangi, etc.
There are lots of other standalone massage parlours in JB in the popular areas too. Regardless of where your JB adventure takes you, you’re bound to find a massage parlour in a mall or a retail area.
Century Health Care & Beauty services | Price range |
Traditional Foot Reflexology (30/60/90 min) | RM38 / RM60 / RM90 ≈ S$11 / S$17.40 / S$26.30 |
Signature body massage (60/90/120 min) | RM72 / RM105 / RM138 ≈ S$21 / S$30.70 / S$40.40 |
Neck and shoulder massage (30min) | RM40 ≈ S$11.70 |
If KSL City is your go-to mall, then you'd most likely have heard about Century Health Care & Beauty. Having been around for 10+ years, the full service massage centre provides a variety of services including foot reflexology, full body massage, and neck and shoulder options.
Apart from the usual body massage, there are also some rather interesting options such as fire cupping and a raw ginger massage-both of which sound like they involve some matter of pain.
If these are not up your alley, there's also something called Ovary Care, or you can do cupping or get your ears cleaned with lymphatic ear candling. And if you're bored during your treatment, Century Health has got you covered with free Wifi and a TV.
SQ Massage has two outlets:
Depending on which outlet you go to, you may get different prices. All offer body and foot massages but the prices aren't displayed on its website. There's a WhatsApp number where you can contact the business and ask them for the price list — but not to worry, we've done that for you.

The full body massages at City Square start from RM85/S$24.90 for a 60 mins traditional body massage, while a foot massage costs RM60/S$17.50 for 60 mins. I’m not sure about you but unless you have some really aching feet, the full body massage might be more worth it.
KSL City's outlet is slightly cheaper at RM75/S$21.90 for a 60min full body massage and RM50/S$14.60 for a 60mins foot massage. If you think 60mins is too long just to get your feet massaged, there are also cheaper and shorter options of 30 and 40mins.
*Note: there used to be 2 SQ Massage outlets in KSL City itself but as of 1 July, they've merged to the second floor outlet.

Specialising in traditional Thai massages and aromatherapy type body massage, Bangkok Spa offers a relaxing and tranquil environment to get pressed. Should you fancy something more luxe or wish to have a massage together with your partner, it also has VIP rooms such as a Jacuzzi Spa & Sauna VIP Room, Massage VIP room and Massage Private Room.
There are also body scrubs and gua sha (scraping) available, although these prices aren't available online. The good thing about Bangkok Spa is that it opens late, or rather, till the wee hours of the morning at 5am. So if you can't sleep, you can always head out for a massage to help you relax.
