Hanoi's Old Quarter is made for walking — and your legs know it. A good massage resets you for the next day. Your Massage Pass tells your therapist exactly what you need before the session.
You've done the lake loop, the street food crawl, the temple circuit. Your lower back and feet are done. Explaining all of that to a Vietnamese therapist in English — while lying face-down — is its own exhausting task.
Use these local phrases as a guide. Massage Pass stores the preferences behind them — pressure, focus areas, areas to avoid, health notes, and session vibe — in a shareable card.

What Massage Pass does
Massage Pass is a free digital preference card. It stores your pressure level, focus areas, areas to avoid, health conditions, quiet-session preference, and notes, then gives you a private link or QR code to share. It is not a booking marketplace, therapist directory, medical advice service, or guaranteed translation for every local language.
