A couple's massage is a spa or massage therapy experience designed for two people, usually romantic partners, where both partners receive a massage simultaneously in the same room. This experience usually involves two massage therapists working on each individual, but the massages can be tailored to the specific needs and preferences of each person. A couple’s massage will also often include a calming and serene ambiance with soft lighting and soothing music, making it the perfect way to spend some quality time together.
A couple’s massage has a lot of benefits both physically and mentally. When you get a massage, your body releases oxytocin, better known as the ‘cuddle or happy chemical.’ You may feel a sense of increased happiness, calmness, and pleasure. It’s that all-over feel-good feeling many of us crave.
Even during a massage, your body attempts to lower stress by releasing serotonin and dopamine. These chemicals are so important to your wellbeing. A massage can improve your mood, reduce stress, and encourage a strong bond.
Massages also reduce cortisol levels. Cortisol is the molecule responsible for stress. The experts agree that when your body is relaxed, your mind is relaxed. A regular massage can significantly decrease feelings of stress and anxiety.
