Treating yourself to a massage is a wonderful experience in itself, but sharing it with someone you love can be even better! A Couples massage is a great way to relax and bond together on Valentine’s Day. However, the activity is not only limited to February 14th or other romantic holidays. In fact, a couple’s massage can be shared any time of the year and benefit both partners. If you and your partner recently had a demanding busy week, now might be the best time to try something new together. 

Couples massages can be experienced with any loved one. They may be a popular romantic celebration to share with a partner, but they can also be shared with a close friend or family member. Learn why this type of massage can be the perfect date or gift idea to share with someone. 

What  to Expect During a Couples Massage?

A couples massage is a shared experience for two. It is the ultimate bonding experience for you and your partner to receive a relaxing massage together in the same room. The massages take place at the same time by individual massage therapists. The treatment rooms are generally softly lit. Aromatic oils and soft music are provided to  create a relaxing environment.  After undressing, you and your partner will lay side by side on separate massage tables. 

Your massage therapists will most likely provide some robes and leave you and your partner alone to undress. Don’t worry about going completely nude. At Peak Day Spa, our massage therapists are professional and always keep the private areas covered, so you and your partner can feel comfortable during your experience. Lay back, relax, and let all of your stress go and enjoy all of the health benefits that can come from a massage. 

Health Benefits

There are a variety of health benefits when it comes to getting a massage and the benefits are even better when sharing it with someone you love! A couples massage can have a positive impact on you and your partner’s physical and mental health. Here are some benefits you both can look forward to:

Reduce Stress

A massage is a great way to improve your mood and release feel-good hormones that make you feel happier. When you experience a massage, your brain releases endorphins, serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin. The everyday demands of life can be stressful, so a massage can give you and your partner a nice break from the week and reduce anxiety.

Relieves Muscle Tension

Massages can improve flexibility and alleviate muscle tension and soreness. It increases the blood flow, improves circulation, and reduces muscle cramps or body aches you may have. It is a perfect solution for someone who sits or stands a lot during their job.

Boost Immunity
