I · How to get here
From Cheltenham to Tao Spa Glenside
From the Cheltenham Avenue side, head west and connect to Limekiln Pike or Easton Road heading north. Both feed straight into downtown Glenside. From Wyncote or the Elkins Park edge, Old York Road and then Easton Road also drop you onto Keswick Avenue. The drive is rarely more than 5 to 7 minutes.
We are at 106 N Keswick Ave, on the main strip in downtown Glenside, two doors from the Keswick Theatre. Free street parking right outside. If you happen to come on a theatre night and the block is busy, there is a public lot a block south near the SEPTA Glenside station.
II · What our Cheltenham clients book
The Cheltenham favorites
Deep Tissue Massage (30 / 60 / 90 min)
Targeted, firm pressure for chronic tension. Most-booked weekday service. The therapist adjusts intensity to your comfort — you set the pace.
Hot Stone Massage (60 min)
Heated basalt stones warm the muscles before manual work. Deeply relaxing without the intensity of deep tissue. Especially popular November through February.
Reflexology (30 / 60 min)
Foot-focused bodywork with herbal foot bath. A favorite for clients who do not want full-body work but still want the calm-down.
60-min Migraine Massage
Head, neck, shoulders, plus a Face Gua Sha pass. Built for the stress-pattern headache from desk and screen days. Quiet, slow work.
Couples Massage
Side by side in our private candlelit room. 60, 75, or 90 minutes. The most-gifted service — birthdays, anniversaries, just-because.
Massage + Facial Combo (100 min)
50-min Hot Stone Massage + 50-min Hydration Facial. Our signature spa-day package. Strong gift-card pick.
III · Why Cheltenham picks Tao
What clients tell us it's about
What Cheltenham regulars consistently tell us is that the work just feels different from what they get at a chain — and the literature lines up with that. The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) notes that quality and outcomes depend heavily on the trained skill of the therapist. NCCIH's massage therapy overview echoes the same point — hands-on bodywork is most useful when the practitioner is formally trained and the relationship continues across visits. NCCIH's six things to know about massage therapy takes that practical line further — credentials, intake honesty, and consistent therapist relationships are exactly what separate a real session from a rotating chain script. That is what our cross-trained Tao team is set up to do.
"Quality bodywork is not about the equipment in the room — it is about the trained hands and whether the therapist is actually listening."
No membership lock-in. No contract. You book when you want, pay for what you get.
Licensed therapists cross-trained in both Eastern and Western techniques — a wider range than the franchise spa menu.
4.9 stars on Google with 350+ reviews. Repeat clients drive the rating.
Independently owned. The same therapists week after week, so they get to know your body.
Walk-ins welcome 7 days a week. Open until 9 PM, which actually fits an evening schedule.
Right on Keswick Avenue, free parking, next to the Glenside SEPTA station and the Keswick Theatre.
Rated 4.7 stars on Google
Reviews from Cheltenham, Wyncote and Elkins Park clients consistently mention the calm room, skilled therapists, and the fact that the therapists actually listen at intake.

Frequently Asked Questions
How close is Tao Spa Glenside to Cheltenham?
About 5 minutes door to door from most of Cheltenham — Cheltenham Avenue, Limekiln Pike, and the Wyncote area. We are at 106 N Keswick Ave in downtown Glenside, just over the Cheltenham Township line. Street parking on Keswick is free.
Is this an Asian-style spa or a Western one?
Both. Our therapists train in traditional Chinese bodywork — acupressure, reflexology, Tao Ashiatsu — and cross-train in Western techniques like deep tissue, hot stone, and prenatal. You can pick whichever style you want; we will sequence the session to match.
Do I need an appointment?
Walk-ins are always welcome at Glenside, 9 AM to 9 PM, every day. For weekend slots, couples massage, or facial bookings, sending a quick text 30 minutes ahead is a good safety net.
What is the most popular service for Cheltenham clients?
Deep tissue 60-min is the most-booked, followed by reflexology and our Massage + Facial combo. A lot of our Cheltenham regulars cycle a 30-min deep tissue mid-week and a 60-min Hot Stone or Migraine Massage on Saturdays.

Free street parking along Keswick Avenue right outside the door. If the block is busy (Keswick Theatre show nights), there is metered parking one block over and a public lot near the train station.
