TCM / Tui Na in City Square, Johor Bahru

8 places4.8 average on GoogleWalkable from the Causeway checkpoint

Tui na is the manual therapy side of Traditional Chinese Medicine, using directed pressure, kneading and joint manipulation to treat specific complaints rather than to relax. Many JB tui na shops also offer cupping, gua sha and moxibustion. Practitioners here often hold Malaysian TCM registration, and sessions are usually shorter and more targeted than a spa massage.

Johor Bahru City Square sits directly beside JB Sentral and the Causeway CIQ complex, which makes it the first stop for most people walking across from Woodlands. Shops here are used to Singaporean walk-ins, quote prices in ringgit, and almost all have English-speaking front desk staff. Expect mall pricing rather than neighbourhood pricing, and expect queues on Friday evenings and public holidays.
