Couple Spa- The trend we love!

A beautiful relaxing spa session together is one of our favorite couple activities. In this world full of stress, relaxing and rejuvenating together is a sure shot bond builder. Checking into a spa resort or indulging in an expensive spa holiday is not always possible but hitting your nearest spa center is a good idea.

So, what does the spa center do differently?

Spa centers have a couple of massage rooms which have decor to instantly soothe your senses. Dim calming lightening, lavender and lemongrass scents lingering around in the air, perfect room temperature and slow meditative music for you and your better half to get the perfect massage ever! Pressure points and massage strength to suit your bodily needs, spa centers have the capability to transport you straight into a dream world.

What can you expect from your massage therapists?

The massage therapists are obviously the most important characters in your spa activity together. They are responsible to prepare your herbal oil decoction and get ready a clean well made massage bed. After checking if you are ok with the temperature and music setup, the masseuse needs to get a good understanding of your pain points to be able to decide suitable massage pressure and techniques. When it comes to a couple spa, the two massage therapists decide the number of minutes and set up synchronization between the massage strokes for you and your partner. Yes it is a lot of fun to glance through and check the progress of your partner’s massage and compare with yours to only know that both of you are progressing through it together!

What are the basic types of massages that you could indulge in ‘together’?

The types of massages vary as per what the spa center specializes in and has to offer. It also depends on the specific training that the massage therapists have received. But in general there are four to five standard types of massages which have gained global recognition

1. Deep tissue massage – This is a favorite full body massage for the hyperactive ones who need very high pressure to relieve the nerves and increase the blood flow
2. Swedish massage– A full body massage which is relatively gentle and relaxing. With mediocre pressure, this is usually chosen by those who are new to massage and want to tackle minor pains.
3. Aromatherapy massage – A full body massage using specific aroma oils works wonders on mental relaxation along with gentle low pressure for the body to relax. Also, the patterns and strokes used are to soothe the senses rather than for treating muscle pain and tension
4. Reflexology –  This massage technique involves giving specific pressure points on hands, feet, shoulder and ears. It focuses on certain pressure points as per the medical world and is a good option if you are not comfortable with a full body massage or need a dry, oil-free massage.

Sure you want to hit your nearest spa center now but before you do so, do not forget to consult your physician or inform your massage therapist about your existing medical conditions in order to avoid any side effects. This will also help your therapist choose the right type of massage for you.
