About the treatment
What Is an Antistress Massage?
An antistress massage combines slow, soothing strokes with focused work on the places where stress tends to build up: the neck, shoulders, upper back and scalp. The pressure is steady and comfortable, never rushed.
Soft lighting and a quiet room help your breathing slow down as the massage progresses. It's a lovely way to reset after a busy week, a long journey or a full day in the crowds of Istanbul.
