Pain Away of Philly - Chinese Medical Massage & Acupuncture

Pain Away of Philly is a therapeutic wellness center offering traditional Chinese massage, acupuncture and cupping in Philadelphia. The practice focuses on pain reduction, mobility and physical ease through treatments shaped around each client’s needs.

Massage services include Tui-Na, a traditional Chinese medical massage approach that uses hands-on techniques to address muscle tension and discomfort. The center’s treatments are suited to people seeking support for concerns such as back pain, sciatica, sports-related injuries or general muscular tightness. Acupuncture provides another traditional Chinese Medicine option, while massage cupping forms part of the broader treatment menu.

The setting is a calm, welcoming space on the second floor of a Center City building. The atmosphere is intended to feel comfortable and restorative rather than clinical, giving clients a place to pause before or after treatment. Cleanliness is emphasized through daily floor care and freshly laundered sheets for each massage table.

A complimentary dry sauna is available before or after a treatment, with clothing and shower facilities provided for the sauna experience. This adds a quiet recovery element to appointments without changing the center’s main focus on therapeutic care.

Pain Away of Philly also offers traditional Tai Chi lessons. The instruction includes health and emotional well-being, while retaining Tai Chi’s martial-arts foundation, making it relevant to people interested in gentle exercise as well as those seeking a more demanding practice.

With massage, acupuncture, cupping, sauna access and Tai Chi under one roof, the center suits clients looking for a focused wellness appointment rather than a general spa outing. Its central location at 936 Arch Street places the practice within easy reach of several Center City neighborhoods, and daily hours support appointments throughout the week.
