While couples massages are
becoming more and more popular, many people still are unsure of what to expect
and what exactly a spa couple massage entails. To put it simply: it involves
two people experiencing massage treatments at the same time in the same room.
Many spas will have a room set up specifically for this purpose, with two
massage tables next to each other so wives and husbands, girlfriends and
boyfriends and same sex partners can enjoy this relaxing time together.
The first benefit of a
couples massage is quite obvious: it gives the couple the opportunity to relax
while the therapist provides massage strokes specific to the couples’ desires.
The second benefit is the
sometime surprising communication boost
between partners. Many couples report being able to speak more openly and
honestly with their significant other after a couples massage. It provides time
for a relaxed conversation which paves the way for a wonderful union between
the pair.
Many new to this
experience may feel a tad uncomfortable, but again, having a partner there to
provide companionship and solidarity is key.
Quick note: many couples
prefer to experience a couples massage on their own without the therapist
there, but the therapists are essential.
This is one of the main reasons why couples cannot open up to one another.
Think of the therapist as a silent mediator: let them do all the work, relaxing
sore muscles, kneading pressure points, providing aromatherapy experiences
while you let down your guard, ease your tensions and open up to the person on
the table next to you.
Many spas offer great
couples massage packages, some geared towards romance, some towards
self-reflection, and some for special occasions. However you choose to experience
this rare treat, it is well worth the time and money!
Much Love,
