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.
