Serving Jenkintown, Pennsylvania
Massage in Jenkintown, PA
Jenkintown has a Hand & Stone and a few smaller massage spots — and a lot of locals who would rather not be on a membership treadmill. Tao Spa Glenside is a 4-minute drive north on Easton Road, in a quiet room above the Keswick Theatre block, open 9 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week. No autopay, no contract, no front-desk upsell. Just skilled therapists, a small client list, and a menu that runs from a quick 30 minutes deep tissue to 60 minutes hot stone to a 100-minute Massage + Facial combo.

I · The no-membership thing
Why it actually matters
A lot of Jenkintown clients walk in saying the same thing: "I just want a massage. I don't want to sign up for anything." That is the version of spa life we run. No autopay. No minimum bookings. No "if you skip a month it rolls over." You book what you want, you pay for what you get, and you come back when your body asks you to — not when an autopay reminds you to.
The chain spa model works for some people. We do not knock it. But it is not the only way to do this — and for clients who want quality bodywork without the membership math, the independent route is usually cheaper per session, more flexible on time, and consistently has the same therapist.

III · The Jenkintown favorites
What our Jenkintown clients book
Weekday after-work sessions
Deep Tissue Massage (30 / 60 min)
Most-booked weekday session. Targeted firm pressure for chronic tension. The therapist adjusts intensity to your comfort, not to a chain script. The classic after-work session.
Reflexology + Foot Bath (60 min)
Foot-focused bodywork with herbal foot bath. Great option after a long standing-up day, and a calm-down without full-body work.
Migraine Massage with Free Gua Sha (60 min)
Head, neck, shoulder focus. Quiet, slow. The session for screen-fatigue and jaw-clenching weeks.
30-Min Quick Reset
Targeted neck-and-shoulder pass between dinner and bedtime. Walk in, drop in, drive home in under an hour.
Weekend longer sessions
Couples Massage (60 / 75 / 90 min)
Side by side in our private candlelit room. Popular for date nights, birthdays, and anniversaries. See the couples Glenside page for the full breakdown.
Hot Stone Massage (60 / 90 min)
Heated basalt stones, warm room, deep wind-down. November–February most-booked. Common Saturday-morning slow start.
Massage + Facial Combo (100 min)
50-min Hot Stone + 50-min Hydration Facial. Strong gift-card option. Spa-day in one booking.
Asian Power + Reflexology (90 min)
Combine the broad-pressure body work with a 30-min reflexology finish. Long-form Saturday session.
IV · The Jenkintown checklist
Why Jenkintown regulars stay with us
The thread underneath every item on this list is the same: massage is most useful when it is delivered by a licensed, trained therapist who has met your back before. NCCIH's massage therapy overview stresses that the quality and safety of hands-on bodywork scale with the practitioner's training and with a consistent client-therapist relationship. NCCIH's six things to know about massage therapy spells out the same practical points — find a credentialed therapist, be honest at intake, and the relationship between you and the person on the table is the part that matters. The American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) tracks the same pattern in its consumer surveys — repeat-therapist relationships are what regular clients consistently rank highest. Independent spas with a small therapist roster are built around exactly that idea.
"You book what you want, you pay for what you get, and you come back when your body asks you to — not when an autopay reminds you to."
- Same licensed therapist every visit. We do not rotate you through a roster — your therapist knows your back from last time.
- No membership. No autopay. No minimum spend.
- Therapists professionally trained in both Chinese bodywork and Western techniques — wider range than the franchise menu.
- 4.9 stars on Google with 350+ reviews. Repeat clients drive the rating.
- Independently owned. The decisions about how the room runs are made in the room, not by a regional office.
- Walk-ins welcome 9 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week.
Rated 4.7 stars on Google
Jenkintown and Abington area clients consistently mention the calm room, skilled therapists, and the relief of not being asked to sign up for anything.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the drive from Jenkintown to Tao Spa Glenside?
Tao Spa Glenside is about a 4 to 6 minute drive from most of Jenkintown — from Old York Road or Greenwood Avenue, north on Easton Road, and we're right on Keswick Avenue in downtown Glenside. From the Jenkintown SEPTA train station it is 5 minutes by car or a single stop on the train. We are open 9 AM to 9 PM, 7 days a week, and most weekday walk-ins from Jenkintown are on the table within 15 minutes of arrival — a 30 minutes or 60 minutes session is easy to drop in for.
Do you require a membership?
No. Tao Spa is independently owned and does not run a membership model. You book the service you want, pay for that session, and come back when you're ready. No autopay, no minimum, no cancellation pressure.
Can I get a walk-in massage on the same day?
Yes — walk-ins are welcome 7 days a week, 9 AM to 9 PM. Mid-week afternoons are usually wide open. Weekends are busier; sending a quick text 30 minutes ahead is a smart safety net.
What is your most popular service?
Deep tissue 60-min is the most-booked overall. Reflexology and the 60-min Migraine Massage are the close-second most-popular among Jenkintown regulars. Couples massage is the most-gifted service.
Do you offer prenatal massage?
Yes — 60-min prenatal massage at both locations, with bolsters and side-lying positioning. We recommend booking ahead because the bolster room schedule fills earlier than a regular massage. After the first trimester is the typical window; please check with your OB if you have any concerns.
Are gift cards available for Jenkintown buyers?
Yes — Tao Spa gift cards work at both Glenside and Spring House. Any dollar amount, no expiration. You can buy them in person, by phone, or online. Popular for birthdays, anniversaries, holidays, and thank-you gifts.
