Read the Small Print Before the Price List
On the self-pay price list of Barrrjung Korean Medicine Hospital (바를정한방병원), tuina and manual therapy do not look expensive: ₩27,000 to ₩50,000 per session. But the price list carries a condition: the tuina prices are marked as applying "when over 20 sessions a year".
Visitors on a short trip should understand this condition first, so the budget is not miscalculated.
What Are the Listed Prices?
- Simple tuina: ₩27,000 per session.
- Complex tuina: ₩45,000 per session.
- Bone-balancing tuina: ₩50,000 per session.
- Manual therapy: ₩50,000 per 30-minute session.
The hospital lists its self-pay (non-reimbursed) prices, and the list shows no tax (VAT) or validity period.
How Should You Read "When Over 20 Sessions a Year"?
On the price list, the tuina prices carry the note "when over 20 sessions a year". Which price applies to a visitor staying only a few days is not explained in the hospital's information.
So we do not recommend estimating your budget as "₩27,000 × sessions" yourself. The safer approach is to ask the hospital to reply first: for your treatment plan on this trip, how is each tuina session charged?
The list does not show the same condition for bone-balancing tuina and manual therapy; ask the hospital whether any other rule applies.
What Role Does Tuina Play in Facial Treatment?
On the hospital's menu, "tuina and manual therapy" is a separate item, while treatment for facial asymmetry is listed as balancing tuina and thread acupuncture.
In other words, tuina is not only muscle relaxation: depending on your condition, the doctor combines it with Jeongan acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, thread therapy, herbal medicine and neuro-electric manual therapy. The number of sessions and the combination depend on the examination.
The hospital examines with joint Korean and Western medicine consultation: 7 Korean medicine and Western medicine doctors confirm the cause through pulse diagnosis, palpation, imaging and ultrasound, then plan treatment.
What Should You Ask Before Booking?
Also, for fees not on the list, such as examination, tests and basic acupuncture, the hospital advises confirming them in advance through the live chat on this website rather than looking only at the tuina unit price.
How Do You Plan a Short Trip?
Weekdays 09:00–20:00 (lunch break 13:00–14:00); Saturday, Sunday and public holidays 09:00–15:00 (no lunch break). If you work weekdays, weekend hours make scheduling easier.
The hospital has a 65-bed ward, so if you need concentrated treatment during your stay, you can ask about admission; a single superior room is ₩150,000 per day.
The representative director, Jeong In-ho (정인호), is president of the Korean Society of Facial Medicine and president of the Bell's Palsy Research Society.
How Does Tuina Combine with Other Treatments?
Tuina and manual therapy are usually not done alone. The hospital's treatments also include Jeongan acupuncture, pharmacopuncture, thread therapy and herbal medicine, combined by the doctor according to your condition.
- Pharmacopuncture is ₩10,000–30,000 per injection, and therapeutic thread (standard) is ₩5,000 per thread (minimum 2 per session).
- Herbal decoction (15–20 days' supply) is ₩300,000–1,000,000.
- Extracorporeal shockwave is ₩100,000–150,000 and Pain Scrambler is ₩100,000–200,000.
These are all self-pay prices listed by the hospital, with no tax or validity period shown. Which ones your plan uses is known only after examination.
