Couples Massage: Relieve Soreness Sooner While Spending Time Together

As a woman, I know the importance of massage. I have had many and know the benefits. Any injuries, pain, stress can be relieved by massage. Deep tissue pain as well as everyday worries will melt away. My husband, on the other hand despite his stress, tight back and neck, is too much of a manly man. A massage is for a woman. My idea? Introduce him to a Couples Massage

He'll put up with aches and pains, as well as deep tissue pains, but not a massage. Well guess what, I took him to a couples massage under the guise of me needing him there for the experience. He now loves massages! It was a great benefit for him as he did it for me, but his confidence in massage therapy grew, and now he realizes, this can help!

How do you find the appropriate massage therapist? Well, as with everything, there are qualifications, and there are genuine qualifications. You can ask your doctor to refer you to one he/she works with. Sometimes this is even covered by insurance.

Upon receiving a massage, the superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue will be manipulated in order to enhance blood flow, function it will promote relaxation and well-being. This became popular in the US in the 1800's and grew in popularity until the 1940's. The development of modern medicine discounted the benefits of therapeutic massage. It made a re-appearance in the 1960's and 1970's when nurses began to use it to alleviate back pain with a back massage, in patients.



Children, remember your parents on mothers or fathers day with a gift certificate to your local spa. They will get a tour of the massage spa and their questions will be answered and both parents will feel comfortable with the idea of a Couples Massage. Husbands, how about a surprise get-away weekend with your wife that incorporates massage for both of you simultaneously?

What a great idea to give a gift certificate to a loved one for Valentines Day, Christmas, Anniversary, birthday, or just for a special surprise. Massages are tailored to suit each individual.

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!
