Couples Massages in Day Spas

With more and more focus on couples who took time out to reconnect and rejuvenate, couples massages have become an important trend in many day spas.

Done with two massage therapists, both clients (wife and husband, two friends or mum and daughter) experience a massage session each at the same time. The day spas now have set special rooms for couples massage with two tables especially so these customers can enjoy the experience of a relaxing massage together.


Massage styles can vary depending on the client. Sometimes a person will have a deep tissue, remedial massage style while the other may have a more Swedish style massage relaxation. The main element of peer massage is that it is a shared experience and a way for couples to take out some time in their daily lives and rejuvenate their bodies. The intention is that this shared experience will bring the couple closer together, allowing re-connect with each other without the distractions of the outside world.

Pairs that make massages together also enjoy many physical health benefits that can not only benefit them physically but also bring feelings of relaxation and wellbeing.

Massage increases the amount of serotonin and dopamine in the body, the "feel good chemicals" that is important for sleep, they slow their heart rate, lowers blood pressure and helps your body heals. Research in the Touch Research Institute at the University of the demonstration of Miami School of Medicine, these chemicals also reduces depression, stress and anxiety. Massage also has been shown to reduce pms and mood swings.

Massage also reduces levels of cortisol stress hormone that is the stress hormone in the body. Couples who get massages at the same time experience feelings of deep relaxation and well being while allowing an opportunity to relax together and reconnecting.

Couples massages have also become a way for couples to enjoy a "time out" with each other, like going out for short vacations or going to a restaurant for dinner. Board massages are often reserved as holding, for example for a birthday or anniversary. With soothing music in the background, two relaxation massages at the same time, and a glass of champagne later, the day spas are promoting them as mini romantic getaway, suitable for busy people who need some quiet time with each

Couples massages are also not just for the husband and the wives or girlfriends and boyfriends. They are often popular among mothers and daughters who want to enjoy a relaxing experience together, or two brides who want to spend some time together. They can also be a great way to present to massage someone who has not had one before. Sometimes sharing that massage the first time can reduce apprehension. Most men find that after having a couples massage with your partner are more likely then book a massage on their own.
