A couples massage is an intimate, relaxing experience shared with your partner. Releasing all of your stresses together is a bonding experience that allows you to reconnect in a healing environment. However, if you’ve never had one before, you might not know the etiquette involved. To ensure a successful session, the professionals at The Fountain Spa in Ramsey and Hackensack, NJ, share the do’s and don’ts of a couples massage.

Do:

Show Up Early

You and your partner should arrive at the spa early. Between filling out forms, getting undressed, and simply getting settled, you’ll cut into your allotted massage time if you show up on the hour. Plan to arrive around 20 minutes ahead of your appointment.

Have Treatments You’ll Enjoy

couples massageSharing a massage sounds romantic, but don’t feel pressured to have identical treatments. Discuss with your partner which treatments or packages you’d both like, and consider what else you want to add from there. For example, perhaps you’d benefit from some aromatherapy while your partner could use a deep-tissue massage. Then, after the session, you can both spend a few minutes mutually basking in the afterglow while quietly exchanging your favorite aspects of the massages you received.

Don’t:

Chatter With Your Partner

The goal of a massage is to unwind and shed your concerns. Some people don’t want to talk during a spa treatment, so don’t feel pressured to strike up a conversation. Discuss beforehand whether or not they’re okay with some quiet, casual conversation to ensure a pleasurable experience for you both.

Be Afraid to Communicate

Sometimes, couples are reluctant to communicate with the massage therapist during their session because they don’t want to disrupt their partner. Everyone has different sensitivities, though, so if a treatment doesn’t feel relaxing, don’t be afraid to let the therapist know they need to be gentler. Ultimately, the goal is to enjoy yourself, and open communication will ensure you get exactly what you want from the experience.
