Wat Massage — Local services in Washington

Was in town for a visit thought it would be a great idea for us to get a massage since I’m due for one. Checked around read all the reviews and was impressed so we booked it. Filled out the normal paperwork and circled my problem areas and was really excited. Very small reception area, very nice decor in the hallways, nice size rooms. Got ready and was greeted by my masseuse. She softly introduced herself and said repeated my problem areas and I was like great this is gonna be good. She started of with light strokes but I was like ok she’s probably feeling things out. Then she moved to my legs which was ok but a bit too light and not too much pressure like I’m use to but ok. She was there for a while my leg wasn’t the issue so I asked her to stop and please focus on my problem areas which was my mid back and neck. So with one hand I pointed to my middle of my back area and she started working on it on the right side, in the mean time I can hear my friend asking the masseuse to apply more pleasure multiple times. It was ok but I still didn’t feel her getting in there like I hoped she then moved to my neck which was good. I’m thinking ok maybe she’s going from the right of my back the. to my neck then to the left of my back, no chance the hour was over. Got up the table asked my friend how was it, it was just as bad very light pressure, didn’t listen or focus on problem areas and didn’t get much relief. Went down to reception and told them our experience and he was like wow they have both worked here for 15 years which was impossible because on of them do not look older than 25. Was really hoping this would be a pleasant experience but sadly it wasn’t. There was no communication from the masseuses like is this enough pressure, does this feel ok etc, nothing. Now I’m wondering are these reviews...

I’ve been to Wat Massage several times now, and each visit has been nothing short of excellent. The space itself is calm, clean, and incredibly welcoming—it’s easy to relax the moment you step in.

One of the things I really appreciate is how the massage always begins with a brief conversation about what you need. The therapists do a great job listening, focusing on your concerns, and checking in throughout the session to make sure the pressure and areas of focus are just right. The service is consistently lovely, professional, and reliable.

Most recently, I had a 90-minute massage with Evellyn, and she was absolutely fantastic. She honed in on the areas I mentioned—especially my neck and shoulders, which take a beating from long hours at a desk—and adjusted the pressure perfectly to work out the tension. Evellyn has a rare talent for pinpointing not just the problem spots but also the areas that are overcompensating. I really appreciated her thoughtful approach and attention to my comfort level. I left feeling significantly lighter, with far less tension than I’ve had in a long time.

Wat Massage is worth every penny—the quality and care they provide truly reflect the price. I always walk out feeling relaxed, recharged, and ready to book my next session....

I'm no stranger to massages... I've been getting them on a regular basis for fifteen years, ever since I had an injury in college. I can tell you that the trigger point massage I received at Wat Massage with therapist Aaron was hands-down the best and most beneficial one I've had in recent memory.

He quickly assessed my needs and concerns, and he found my problem areas almost instantly. He was very conscious of the amount of pressure I wanted, and throughout the session he made sure I was comfortable with how much he was using. Believe me, I've been to dozens of therapists over the years, and Aaron is one of only a few who are able to use enough pressure for me; I like a ton of pressure!

Afterwards, I immediately felt the benefits of Aaron's work. I was so impressed with the results, I have already been back for a follow-up massage to make even more progress on my problem areas!

Everyone at Wat Massage is extremely professional and friendly, and I guarantee you will get more than your money's...
