Swedish vs. Deep Tissue - Which Is Right for You?
Swedish massage uses lighter, flowing pressure ideal for relaxation and general tension. Deep tissue uses firmer pressure to target chronic pain and muscle knots. Not sure✓ Our therapists will assess your needs and recommend the right treatment at your first appointment.
What to Expect at Li's Spa
Your visit starts with a short conversation with your licensed massage therapist about your goals for the session — whether that's easing a stiff neck from a desk job, winding down before a big week, or simply carving out an hour for yourself. From there, you'll settle into a private, quiet treatment room while your therapist tailors pressure and pacing to what your body needs that day.
Sessions run 60 or 90 minutes, and every Li's Spa therapist is licensed and trained in Swedish technique, so you're in experienced hands whether it's your first massage or your fiftieth. We're located in Redmond, WA, just a short drive from Bellevue and Kirkland, with flexible scheduling to fit around work and family life. Plan to arrive a few minutes early to settle in, and drink some water afterward — it helps your body make the most of the session.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a Swedish massage session last?
Most guests book either 60 or 90 minutes. Sixty minutes is a great everyday reset, while 90 minutes gives your therapist time to spend a little longer on areas holding extra tension.
Will my therapist adjust the pressure to what I'm comfortable with?
Yes. Swedish massage is meant to feel relaxing, not painful, and your therapist will check in during your first visit to find the pressure that works for you. Just speak up at any point if you'd like it lighter or firmer.
How often should I get a Swedish massage?
It really depends on your goals. Many clients come in every few weeks to manage everyday stress, while others treat it as an occasional reset. If you'd like a regular rhythm, our massage packages are a simple way to save on recurring sessions.
What should I expect when I arrive for my first visit?
You don't need to prepare anything special. We'll ask a few quick questions about your goals and any areas to avoid or focus on, then leave you to get comfortable in private before your therapist begins.
Is Swedish massage covered by insurance?
Some insurance plans cover massage therapy when it's billed as a medical treatment, which works a little differently from a relaxation-focused Swedish massage. If you're hoping to use insurance, our Insurance Massage page and Insurance FAQs walk through what's typically covered.
Can two people book a Swedish massage together?
Yes — if you'd like to relax side by side, take a look at our Couples Massage option.
