They were just what I needed to FEEL better after a long week. Self Care is the best care. They went above and beyond. Excellent Service!

Great place!!! They take care of me! I am a regular! I get the 30 minute acupressure! please be kind & TIP!

It wasn't something I expected and it was completely different than all other acupressure massage places. Typically a 30 minute massage covers the entire backside to include full upper and lower back and legs. The entire massage consisted of mostly upper back/shoulders and neck. My legs were not touched so it feels like an incomplete massage. The prices were higher than what is here on yelp. Additionally, there is a surcharge for using cards. I will not be going back that's for sure. One last thing...it was too hard to communicate so to the language barrier and even when I tried, they continued to talk to other massage therapists during the entire massage. read more

They cured my shoulder and neck. The technique was excellent and the environment was clean! I will be back next time!

I've come here since before Covid, on the recommendation of a friend, and they have been the best deep-tissue massage therapists I am have encountered in Phoenix. They tend to go heavy on the massage, but you can tell him to soften it up, if you feel it's too rough. Have usually got a full back massage of a minimum of 30 minutes. That's all I need. Also, they have foot massage and chair only massage as well. read more

This is a great place for massage. It helped me get rid of most of my pain. Thanks to them!

I don't recommend this place if you are a woman. There is a language barrier for sure but this doesn't mean staff is allowed to cross professional boundaries. I went to get a massage and was touched inappropriately. The masseuse crossed boundaries when he went under my shorts and into my thighs. I have never felt so uncomfortable, my body knew that type of touch was NOT OK. Going under the towel is NOT Ok! What's worse is I still had to pay and was asked to tip for the unprofessional service. Will NEVER return here. read more

Came because I had nothing better to do and wanted my feet and neck massaged. I selected, I think, the 10 min chair massage and 20 min foot. As good sales men do, they up sold me to a table massage and a longer foot massage; ok, no big deal. Started with the feet. Was ok until it wasn't! Started to become a little painful as evidenced by my pulling away. And don't get me started on the back. He didn't seem to know anything but DEEP PRESSURE, using his elbow the entire time! When I got up everything was tender, and this lasted a few days. They have certificates on the wall saying they are licensed massage therapists, but I think I'd challenge that. The amount of pressure seemed excessive and unsafe. After the service when I went to pay they tried to MAKE me leave a bigger tip. That, I didn't appreciate. I'd come back for my feet, however, I'd advise anyone to pay a little more money to get a REAL massage at a massage studio. read more

I have been having shoulder pain for about 4-6 weeks and when it flares up oh my damn it is painful. Well due to the cooler weather the pain has been a little more harsh and it has be spreading down to my elbow and even my hand. My wife went to Christown Mall like two weeks ago and noticed that this place was here and she has been on me every since for us to go try them out (especially since our go to place at Metrocenter has closed) so today I finally did and boy am I glad that I did! Look, I don't know the guys name and there is definitely a language barrier but I told him that I was very tight in my left shoulder area and he immediately said table massage. I chose the $35/30 minute session and it was amazing! It was totally worth it. Now the massage itself was very painful at times but that was because I was so tight and had alot of knots so I suffered through it because I knew it was very beneficial to me. The masseuse did ask me if I was okay and acourse you can always ask them to ease up but again I just went with it because that is how tight and knotted up I was. I am a grown man and I almost cried during the massage (LMAO) because of the the relief that I was getting trust and believe I will never allow myself to get that tight and knotted up again. The prices are very fair and I will definitely be back again and again. If they do that great of job on the back then I can only imagine how great a foot massage would be! read more

Very impressive for a mall massage. These guys are EXCELLENT! I will come back if I'm in the area. It's definitely worth it. Leave a good tip too! read more

This place is very unprofessional and very inappropriate i went a back massage and got touched inappropriate he kept rubbing my ass my thighs the side of my boobs trying to run his dick on my hands highly do not recommend I will never go there again I had the most uncomfortable inappropriate traumatic experience there women especially please do not go there!!! read more

Terrible service, said it would be a 20 minute wait, and here I am MORE THAN AN HOUR LATER still waiting. You should know exactly how long it would take seeing that massages are timed. Would've loved to get one but ran out of time. 0 stars out of 5, would not recommend. read more

This place was awesome. I'm 46 & had a few knots in my back. I asked for a deep tissue massage ($40 for 30 min). He went in w his elbow and it felt amazing. I didn't realize how tense I was. This massage could be painful for some but it was just what I needed. I also asked for a foot massage ($20 for 20 min) & a facial ($20 for 20 min). I had a lot of aches and pains. Meaning 95% of the massage was fabulous and 5% was painful. Since I rarely get massages it was worth every penny. read more

do not waste your money here these guys are brutal and constantly trying to increase your bill with added stuff during your whole supposed to be calming relaxed message all I got was pain from press to hard even when i flinched to alert him and then to it off he showed dislike to my tip and questioned it i didnt even wanna tip and $10 is what I gave him how rude read more

I actually took the advice of other reviews and they were right on point. Walk in deep tissue, very little English. But my lower back pain was gone and the individual who worked on me hit some trigger points never before touched on with other massages. No one mentioned anything about the punch card and I had forgotten all about it but I grabbed a business card off the wall by the checkout and low and behold it's the punch card on the back. No waiting either got right in and right out. I have already told others about my experience and will return as needed. God bless. read more

Sure, you won't get the full spa experience here, but they sure get the knots out. Gosh, I remember a time I was getting a chair massage and the mall kiddo train went by! But let me tell you, what you do get is a deep tissue massage and no appointment needed. A lot of the time I get off work and have a stiff neck or aches and pains. These guys get right to the pressure points. They don't mess around. I have done their chair massages, the face massage and also the foot and leg. All were excellent and well priced for what you get. Also, be sure to ask for their punch card! read more

If your looking for a painful yet satisfying deep tissue massage this is your place. The guys are very nice though they don't speak much English. Be wary that the mall noise can be pretty loud too but all in all it was a great massage. I will definitely be back! read more

Stress Away - Located on the east side of Christown Mall - Massage Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

So I came here and ordered the 15 minute massage . Gentlemen massaged me for only 9 minutes. And was hurting me . I told him hey your hurting me softer. Went to go pay . I still paid the 20 dollars for a 15 minute massage I did not get. So I figured hey if he is going to charge me 20 dollars for a 9 minute massage when it's supposed to be 15 minutes I guess 2.00 tip it is . Then he starts yelling at me "you need to pay me 5.00 tip 20 percent . Very unprofessional I will never come here again ! read more

I've had this weird nagging pain underneath my shoulder blade and I wanted to see if I could get it worked out. Boy, I was not prepared. I was wonderfully stretched and beaten over 20 minutes that felt much shorter. There was no wait, no need for much communication. I'm still feeling it a couple days later but as a whole I feel great. read more

The language barrier is without a doubt a major obstacle. If you are able to mash through and convey what you want you will be very pleased with the massage. I asked for deep massage and it was exactly that! it was outstanding! i will definitely be back. read more

After reading the reviews I knew this place was for me! The consensus is strong pressure! I'm happy I opted for a 30 min deep tissue massage for the first time. I'm not sure if I would have last 60 mins. Yes, there's a language barrier but they understand the concept. When I asked for less pressure, that's exactly what he did ... less pressure! Next time I'm getting a chair massage! It hurts so good!!! read more

If I'd known that getting the 60 minute bed massage would be nothing but repetative back torture, I wouldve just gone with the less expensive chair massage. My spine hurts. I've never been massaged in a way that made my bones sore. During the session there were moments I couldnt breathe. The guy spent 90% of the time just jabbing his elbows into my back, over and over. Elbow to back bone, elbow to back bone, repeatedly. I couldnt relax, trying to give the guy the benefit of the doubt that this was supposed to be good for me...I'm writing this post 48 hours, and I feel nothing beneficial. My upper spine is still sore. read more

Um... NO is all I can say about this place after today. I've gone here once before but it was a very different experience than I just had here today. I went in trying to explain that my upper back and shoulder hurt and they insisted on "full body". There was a language barrier so I just went with it. The guy took me in the back-back to a room I didn't even know was there. He had me lay down on a table (clothed) and began the massage. From the moment it started I felt his groin touching the top of my head - yuck. He was super rough which I expected from my experience last time, but even when I asked him to lighten up five or six times, he still was really hurting me. When he got to my arms he began this technique where he sat down in a chair next to me and rested my palm on his thigh! I was so creeped out. He was pulling my arm towards him and I think my fingers touched his groin area! I actually looked up to make sure he didn't have his dick out or something. He also kept massaging my butt - I don't remember telling him my glutes needing attention but whatever. When the 30 min was finally over, and I reluctantly went to pay, the guy INSISTED that I add a tip. I told him NO in several different ways and he got very upset that I did not tip. I took my card and bolted. All in all, it was a very memorable $35 battery and molestation. read more

There is nothing like a walk in massage ... A relaxing surprise. I love it that I didn't need an appointment. read more

Read the reviews and thought "YES, exactly what I need." Price was good $30/30 minutes, but this was place a no for my son and I. First time we've had a chair massage and such a disappointment. We were sore for several days from the constant elbow digging for half the massage in the same area (across the shoulder area). Maybe we went at a bad time during the day and they had already done several massages without a break, but we left not feeling relaxed or refreshed at all. read more

This is the best hour long massage I've ever had! Fu is so strong and really worked on getting into my muscles and relieving tightness. Sometimes it even hurt, but I knew it would be really beneficial. Other reviewers said it was noisy from the mall, but I must have been there at a more quiet time. If I lived in the area, I would be a regular customer. read more

I had a great massage here. The only downside is that there is definitely a language barrier lol. I called trying to get directions bc I couldn't find the location and let me tell you that conversation was hilarious. But other then that its good. They have plenty of message options. The salon is right smack in the mall so you probably won't get that ultimate quiet, relaxation experience, but you'll get a good massage. read more

This is my Happy Place whenever I need an hour to get away. The price for a foot massage - which is basically a whole body, fully clothed, amazing service in a big room is unbeatable . I usually don't care who is available to do the service, the front desk staff at check-in is super friendly and professional, and so far I didn't have a bad experience. I come here for over 5 years now. Thanks for Stress Away, a short get-away that feels like a whole day of spa care packed in an hour long massage. read more

See all

I am visiting in this area and stopped by. Great foot detox & foot massage. Highly recommend them.

This massage reminded me of the one I got in Korea. Not private or particularly quiet but the massage was excellent. It's a firm massage which I prefer. I imagine they would have toned down the pressure if I would have asked. For $60/hr this is a steal. I have paid double and walked away disappointed. I'll for sure be back. They also do chair massages, feet, etc. read more

I've been here a few times now. I've always had the same guy who is a bit rough but at the end I feel much better. Today, I had a different "masseuse" if you will. I'm not sure he is licensed or knows what he's doing (I've only seen one license hanging but 43 different people working on massage). The massage was sort of like a massage you get from your boyfriend who doesn't want to give you one. He gets really rough trying to get you to cave and say he doesn't have to massage you any more, but you hold your breath and bare it, only to find he's annoyed and doubles down with his elbows. Yeah. It was like that. Elbows grinding on my rib cage, punches to my arms, and pinching of my neck. The karate chops at the end were actually nice. Those felt good. Anyway, I now have a headache and my shoulder/neck feels worse than it did before I went in. I'll give this place another try but will stay away from today's guy. read more

As someone who stands for 10-11 hrs a day for work, I need to have regular massages for back, neck and leg pain. This place has become my place for this! They always put all they're energy into giving a really great massage. I do foot and back and it's like a reset for my body. Can't recommend these guys enough! read more

So I have been here 7 times or so.... and for some reason have never reviewed it. Um well... they have a punch card *yay* When you get 10, you get a free massage for whatever the average amount of minutes your card has on it.... for example, 5-15 minute massages and 5- 45 minute massages would get you a free 30 minute massage. Usually I just get the 10 or 15 minute massage and am good, but it had been a while since I got a massage, so I went for the 40 minute massage for $36. 20 minutes chair massage and 20 minutes food massage. According to my boyfriend who was there with me, the guy went for longer than 40 minutes.... usually places try and be cheap and do less time. Not here.... I should probably add the fact that this is inside of the mall... their store is right next to the Walmart, but they also have a kiosk next to the Costco food court, outside of JC Penny. I usually go in the store, but today's massage was at the kiosk... but it is the same people, they just alternate between the two. But great massage-- if you like a massage where it may hurt slightly while they do the massage but after you feel so much better... so if you're looking for just barely any pressure then this is not the place to go. read more

Got a 20-minute chair massage. The massage was fine but the chair needs to be re-cushioned. My face is bruised because of the pressure and lack of cushion.... read more

I have been going to Stress Away for months. I have redeemed several free massage awards as well from their frequent customer cards. I have had severe muscle spasm that other modalities were not able to relieve, but the guys at Stress Away managed to get the KNOTS completely out, and all for a reasonable price. Always pleasant and courteous as well. read more

These guys are the best. I've been to plenty of other places, but nobody can compare. My teenage son even loves getting foot massages there. He has Asperger's (high functioning Autism) and he never refuses to get his massage there. It calms him down when he's feeling anxious. They go above and beyond with other massage places do. It's a great price too. We have been there at least 10 times over the last two years. I'd go more if I could afford it. read more

This place is the BEST, and I have been coming here for YEARS!! Only a place like this would earn my loyalty. They do their best to get all of the knots and kinks out. I leave feeling totally refreshed. I have taken many friends there, and everyone else liked them as well. I cannot recommend Stress Away enough. Satisfaction Guaranteed!! read more
