KUALA LUMPUR: When was the last time you went for a massage and left feeling truly relaxed – but your actual physical issue was still there?
Maybe your shoulder was tight, your lower back in pain, or your neck stiff. But instead of real relief, you got a generic massage sequence: back, legs, arms, flip. You might’ve even thought, “I wish they’d just asked me what I needed”.
That’s exactly the frustration that sparked “Beyond Massage”, a new wellness spot in Bukit Jalil that’s shaking up how people view massages. Here, your bespoke session doesn’t begin with oils or music – it begins with a conversation.
A session starts with a 10- to 15-minute one-on-one consultation with a trained physiotherapist. This isn’t just a quick “where does it hurt?” chat. It’s an actual physical assessment.
“You book a 60-minute bespoke session, and that hour is yours,” explained co-founder Matthews Chang. “The consultation happens first and it’s free. You only decide whether to go ahead with the session after that.”
Whether it’s 60, 90, or 120 minutes, each session is fully focused on manual therapy. (Beyond Massage pic)
In fact, “bespoke” gets thrown around a lot in wellness marketing. But at “Beyond Massage”, it’s not a gimmick – it’s the entire point.
Each session is tailored based on what your body tells the therapist during that consultation. They even log a report, track your issues, and follow up with stretches and recommendations after your session.
The space itself feels more like a boutique spa than a rehab centre. There’s no cold lighting, no intimidating machines. It’s designed to be welcoming, relaxing – but informed. Expect windows from floor to ceiling, with sunlight streaming through. The colour blue is a consistent theme here, adding a calm serenity.
The idea was born out of personal experience. Calvin Lim, who co-founded “Beyond Massage” with Chang, was tired of cookie-cutter massage routines and physio sessions that felt too salesy.
“Every time I went for a massage, I’d say I’m sore in one area, but they’d still follow the same routine,” Lim said.
“And physios? Helpful, but they always try to upsell you on shockwave therapy or dry needling. Sometimes I just want a proper one-hour rub that targets what I need,” Lim added.

What they created instead is something that straddles both worlds: manual therapy that feels like a massage, but works like physio.
“We’re not trying to replace physiotherapy,” Lim clarified. “We’re more like the gateway to it, before you need the hardcore modalities.”
And clients love it. One particularly active customer, a climber and competitive runner, came in post-accident and walked out feeling better after just one session. “That weekend, he ran 21km!” Chang laughed.
Lim and Chang’s backgrounds in wellness helps – Lim owns a chain of pilates studios, which Chang helps to manage. So they’re not new to the game.
“Beyond Massage” feels different. It’s not trying to sell you luxury or cure-all promises. It’s just trying to do one thing really, really well: treat your body with the respect it deserves.
“Taking care of your body shouldn’t start only when you’re hurt,” said Lim. “We want people to see recovery as part of daily life.”

While “Beyond Massage” does attract the sporty crowd, it’s not just for CrossFitters or marathoners. Office workers, new mums, tired dads – anyone with a tight neck, bad posture, or chronic aches can benefit.
That’s why they also offer traditional massage options – foot, head, neck, and full-body sessions – and foot reflexology, for those who just want to unwind. A head spa is on the way too.
But even those who give relaxation massages here are better informed.
“We source experienced traditional therapists, but they work alongside our physios,” Chang explained. “So even if it’s not a physio session, we make sure you’re getting quality, safe treatment.”
One thing’s for sure: if “Beyond Massage” keeps doing what it’s doing – listening closely, pressing with purpose, and delivering on its promise – it won’t just change how people view massages. It might just change how people take care of themselves.
“Think of us as your body’s service centre. You don’t wait until the car breaks down to get it looked at. Same goes for your back,” Chang concluded.
