What is couple’s massage?
The couple’s massage is an opportunity for two people to receive a massage at the same time, in the same room with two therapists.
The couple’s massage is for two people regardless of their status. They could be a romantic couple, a parent and child, or just friends having a spa day.
Many spas will not allow children under the age of 18 to have an unsupervised massage. In this case, a couple’s massage is the perfect solution for many children.
Likewise, the couple’s massage is the perfect addition to any spa day for him and her! In most places the spa treatments for couples will either be a Swedish massage or deep tissue.
In some establishments, it may be possible to receive other spa treatments such as body scrubs or body wraps. Always confirm details when booking your appointment to ensure availability.
What to expect
The couple’s massage is generally available as a 50 or 80 minute massage. Make sure you book according to your preference and confirm beforehand.
If you think you want the longer service, reserve your time immediately. It can be very difficult to upgrade at the last minute when requiring two therapists’ time.
When booking your appointment, let the spa know if you are a parent and child twosome. Always indicate the gender preferred for the therapist for your child.
At the time of your appointment, the two of you will be escorted to your room. Your therapists will allow you to disrobe in privacy for your massage.
Once they come back into the room, they will begin your service according to what you have booked. For a general idea of your service, please refer to the links above (Swedish, deep, scrubs, wraps).
As most couple’s massages are experienced by romantic couples, some spas will have a whirlpool or bath in the same room to enjoy as part of the service.
Many will offer champagne, chocolates or some other scrumptious treat to enjoy after your massage to round out the experience.
In addition, if you intend to use the bath or Jacuzzi, bring your swimsuit in case it is required.
After your massage
After your massage, take it easy for the day and relax. Avoid strenuous activity and indulge in quiet activities.
Drink plenty of water to maintain hydration for optimum results from your massage.
