I don't know whether you have noticed that these days, every shopoffices around PJ have massage services (legitimate ones). It is like a new industry mushrooming around town with loads of varieties and choices to choose from.
You could try out some of the Balinese massage at major shopping malls, where they locate them around the staircase areas and unpopular spots in the mall; blind-man massage in Brickfields are abundance; or the Chinese ones at the sidewalk of Jalan Bukit Bintang; not to mention the luxury Spa and massage around health clubs and golf clubs.
The hustle and bustle of city life does not only create opportunity for people seeking employment, but also a way to relieve stress via massage. It is no wonder that the industry has been surging, and with influx of foreign workers, mainly from Indonesia and China into this newly developed industry. The demand and supply fundamentals of the economics.
Though the price is not as affordable as you could find in Thailand, Indonesia nor in China, however, with competitions increase, prices are competitive. A simple foot massage starts from as cheap as RM32 for an hour to exorbitant price of RM200++ for one session of spa and massage in prestigious clubs. A good service and ambiance deserves the price.
With a change in lifestyle, massage industry is definitely here to stay.
