Between its neighbourhoods, dining and seemingly endless things to do, Singapore gives you plenty of reasons to stay on the move. When it’s time to recharge, Kenko Wellness offers a homegrown approach to rest and recovery.
Founded here in 1991, Kenko has spent more than three decades specialising in foot reflexology and therapeutic massage. Its name means “health” in both Japanese and Mandarin, while its treatments draw on Asian wellness traditions alongside Western massage techniques.
What to expect
Kenko is best known for its foot reflexology, a technique it has refined over decades. Drawing on traditional Chinese medicine, therapists work on pressure points across the feet that are traditionally believed to correspond to different parts of the body.
For tired muscles elsewhere, Kenko’s massages range from focused shoulder work to full-body treatments. Its signature approach balances the firm, targeted pressure of traditional Chinese massage with the gentler, flowing strokes of Swedish massage. Therapists undergo extensive training in Kenko’s unique techniques before treating clients.
For Kenko, these treatments are about more than a moment of relaxation. The brand sees reflexology and massage as part of regular self-care, with treatments designed to ease tension, encourage relaxation and support overall physical wellbeing.
Worth booking
Short on time or ready for a proper reset? Choose according to what needs attention and how much time you have.
- For tired feet: The Foot Reflexology (from $68 for 40 minutes) applies focused pressure to reflex points across the feet. Rooted in traditional Chinese reflexology, it’s an appealing pick after hours spent walking Singapore’s neighbourhoods, museums and shopping streets.
- For stiff shoulders: The Shoulder Massage (from $20 for 10 minutes) concentrates on pressure points in and around the shoulders to loosen tight muscles. The shorter sessions are particularly handy after a long flight or hours hunched over a laptop, while longer options allow more time to work on built-up tension.
- For a bit of everything: The Foot, Hand and Shoulder Massage (from $98 for 60 minutes) tackles three areas that can take a beating from travel in one sitting. With 60- and 90-minute options, it suits anyone who wants something more comprehensive without moving into a full-body massage.
- For a longer reset: The Full Body Massage (from $95 for 40 minutes) uses deeper massage work across the body to loosen tense muscles and encourage relaxation. Sessions run up to two hours, making this the one to book when you have more time to switch off.
Why visit
