Massage Therapy for Couples

Monday, December 20th, 2010

Massage Therapy for Couples can refer to both individuals receiving massage at the same time, in a single room, or adjoining rooms. It can also address couples taking turns to massage each other.

When both partners receive massage at the same time, they will be moving the same speed. It can be a bit tough when one person returns home really comfortable, and the other side of the couple has been in high gear! They both have similar views on the necessity of taking care of their bodies, reducing stress on their systems, and maintaining their muscles in a healthy way. The couples are also able to share some of the ‘moves’ they receive from their massage therapist with their partners, when they exchange massage in their homes.

We have so much experience with massage therapy for couples, when they share massage as part of their connecting to each other. One of the realizations we had years ago, in relation to touch, added to the importance of massage as a means of media for a couple. We have people tap us to move aside, we have people position us for pictures, or appearance, we have people guide us in a direction, but rarely do we receive touch, just for the sake of connection to another person. Massage *can* be induced, just for the connection. When a couple uses massage as a means of expanding their communication, it opens up a deeper level of safety and connection.

Participants in Couples Massage classes often share that when they slow down, just for that short time they are exchanging massage with their partner, they reconnect from their crazy weeks. We’ve heard that they feel like they were able to begin speaking a different language with their partner, because they were picking up on cues from their partner, often non-verbal. Often a Couples Massage class is the first time that a partner was given permission and tools to give non-judgmental feedback to their partner about the quality of the touch they received. Many times we are told that giving their partner a massage was the first time they were able to be comfortable in the silent, peaceful space together, and just BE. We’ve also been told that they learned a lot about their partner by simply observing them through a massage, as well as learning more about their body, and what their partner really likes in relation to the quality of touch.

The health benefits of massage address many of our modern ills. Assisting in circulation, deepening and slowing respiration, reducing heart rate and blood pressure, as well as reducing secretion of stress hormones and increasing those feel-good hormones, endorphins. Massage Therapy for Couples brings a lot of connection and health benefits with it…so, learn a new way to get in touch today!

Massage Therapy Does Your Body Good

Tuesday, July 13th, 2010

Massage therapy is one of the most effective ways to helps relieve tired and stressed bodies and minds from the onslaught of daily life. Destination spas with massage therapies are flocked to endlessly all year round. People receive most benefits from massage therapies when they get a regular dose of massage therapy. You can visit a spa as many times as twice a week to once a month – this depends on your budget and need. Some people complain that although massage therapy is beneficial, they find the services expensive and are often perceived to be a reward instead of something that they should indulge in on a regular basis.

But here’s something to think about: massage therapy is good for our bodies, and our bodies are important to us. The condition of our body can be improved with massage therapy and if we value and would like to upkeep our bodies, we will have to consider massage therapy in a different light. Our body is the one and only physical shell that we will ever be given – there will never be another.

Going through a massage therapy can help us refocus our thoughts on what we are feeling in our bodies, instead of what is bothering us mentally. It’s almost like experiencing the pleasure of the massage therapy helps bring our minds away from mental stress. It’s sometimes called being ‘grounded’.

The neck and shoulder areas will be the focus during a massage therapy, because that is where stress of daily life begins to lay its foundation in our body. Our feet, low backs and hips are also thoroughly massaged through to help relax the tensed up muscles there. it has been shown that most times, during a massage therapy session, people feel more sensation when their necks and shoulders are being massaged…that is why some people think that we live from our shoulders up. Massage therapy works extremely well for those who goes through regular yoga and meditation practice.

Experts in the massage therapy field reckons that we should all consider going for massage therapy at least once a week in order to reap in the full benefits of massage therapy .
