Couples Massage
A couples massage is generally offered in a private room side-by-side with two therapists who work on each individual at the same time.
Usually, there is an initial consultation with the massage therapist prior to any treatments to review your session goals and answer any questions you may have. At that point, the therapist will leave the room for a short time while you and your massage partner disrobe and lie down, with sheets covering you.
Couples massage is a great way for women to introduce their significant other to the benefits of massage therapy. Many people who are unfamiliar with massage are reluctant to try it, but can be convinced if they don’t have to do it alone. Both massages will end at the same pre-appointed time.
These are the 10 most common benefits reported from massage therapy:
