subject: Fight Stress And Let Go With A Fun, Relaxing Couples Massage [print this page] Bringing couples together via a couples massage is quickly becoming one of the hottest trends in massage therapy. Sharing special times together with a loved one doesn't get any better than a couples massage and coming together in this calming - and healing - experience inspires closeness, thereby heightening the experience for its participants.
So how does couples massage therapy work? You and your loved one are given a massage in the same room - at the same time - by two different therapists. As far as couples massage etiquette, it's fine to talk to each other through the massage, as opposed to the traditional silence of a single massage. The choice is yours ... it's your time together, but discuss this important topic together before you begin your couples massage.
Listed below are just some of the benefits that people are enjoying as the result of a couples massage.
Stress relief and the ultimate in relaxation;
Allows couples to strengthen their relationship by experiencing something else together;
It's a great way to introduce a partner who has never gotten a massage before in a way that makes them feel more comfortable the first time. (Some men are apprehensive about getting a massage because of the nudity involved, and to have their wife or girlfriend there is reassuring; once they experience a couples massage, they are more willing to book a massage on their own.)
Makes a great gift for anniversaries, holidays or any other special day;
It can also be a good choice if you experience it with someone you donent get to see often enough -- a sister, girlfriend, mom or best friends -- and you want to spend as much time together as possible.
Couples enjoy a blissful hour of massage, while boosting their health and mental awareness together!
The decision to enjoy a couples massage with someone you love is an easy one ... the tough part comes in deciding which type of massage to enjoy.

For those suffering from the effects of stress and the annoying knots that result from it, a Deep-Tissue massage may be just the answer. This type of couples massage directs the pressure to the deepest muscle tissue layers.
A Hot Stone couples massage is just that; it uses the strategic placement of warmed stones to melt away your aches and pains, while lifting your metabolism.
