subject: End Your Stressful Day But Also Relieve Chronic Pain By Means Of An Invigorating Couples Massage [print this page] 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.
So what are the benefits of a couples massage? Some are listed below.
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!
