Are you married? Do both you and your spouse experience back pain, neck or other types of possibly debilitating pain? As a woman, I feel very comfortable going in for a massage to melt away my every day stress and worries. I mentioned it to my husband, go ahead, get a massage". He completely discounted it. That's for women, not men.
Men can especially benefit from couples massage. If your husband is a bit unsure about getting a massage, it may be comforting to have you there with him. To the guys, he can say it's something I have to do for my wife. It will give him confidence that he is doing this for her, not himself. It will also give him the confidence to go for a specialized massage that he may actually need.
It's easy to find a massage therapist. Your doctor may refer one to you with great qualifications who he/she recommends with confidence. Just check references of anyone you may find yourself. Check if it is covered by insurance.
A variety of massages became popular in the US in the 1800s and grew in popularity until around the 1930s and 40s. The development of modern medicine discounted the benefits of it. Massage made a re-appearance in the 1960s and 1970s when nurses began to use it to alleviate pain in their patients. Superficial layers of muscle are manipulated to maximize blood flow and pain relief.
As a son or daughter, you will have occasions such as Father's or Mother's day where you will be searching for the perfect gift. A gift certificate to your local spa will be great for that special gift. A quick tour of the premises will make your parents comfortable with the notion of a couples massage. Husbands and wives, surprise the other with the gift of massage.
Gifts like this will work for Valentine's day from spouse to spouse, for birthdays, Christmas, anniversaries, to name but a few. There are so many types of massage, and it is done in a variety of ways with a variety of remedies.
There are also many types of oils, seeds etc that can be used. As far as remedies, oils may be used to cause relaxation or to stimulate blood flow. Body rocks, warm and cold coated in different sorts of oils such as fractionated coconut oil, grape seed oil, olive oil, macadamia oil, sesame oil, pecan oil and mustard and aromatherapy oils are also used. What a combination!
The best thing about couples massage is that the massage are performed in tandem. The lights are dimmed and the couples experience the same massage. Each bed is equipped with the same oils/scents and equipment. Each couple (be it sisters, couples, parent/child) will have the same experience in the same environment which will add to the bonding between each. Go for it! Recommend it, gift it, just do it! I did!
