About Ling Massage
Ling Massage is a massage parlor located in Issaquah, Washington. The reviews of the business present a mixed picture, with both positive experiences and some concerns.

Overall, Ling Massage provides a generally positive massage experience, with many customers reporting great outcomes and professionalism. However, there are concerns about certain practices that potential customers may want to consider before visiting.
Helen has become my regular trusted therapist and I highly recommend her. What I typically look for in a good massage is; it doesn’t feel too routine. As in they’re actually feeling out the places that need work as they go. And I like a lot of pressure, but not applied carelessly. Helen checks both of those boxes really well. Being really attentive, and listens to your body when it comes to digging in deep if that’s what you’re after.
FWIW I’ve had past experiences at other spas with therapists asking for more tip like mentioned in other reviews here, but that has never happened to me at Ling’s.
I came in and got a massage here today, which I thought the masseur did a great job. I have a chronic neck pain and stiffness (like rock) on my shoulders that’s been bothering me a lot and stressing me out. After the massuer worked on me for about 20 minutes I can immediately feel the stiffness has been decreased and the tension on my body has been relieved as well. She also utilized the acupuncture point with her finger, which I thought was really beneficial, and I could feel the inner air flow through my body. The masseur was very professional and the rest of the experience was relaxing and comforting. Overall, great service and clean space, will definitely be back...read full review
