What is a Couples Massage?
At Main Street Massage Therapy, several of our rooms are set-up to allow for two people to receive a massage at the same time. Our experienced massage therapists often work in tandem providing a side-by-side table massage to two customers.
Side-by-side Massage in Ann Arbor
Massages definitely feels good, but there many positive benefits for all kinds of relationships (friends, family, or romantic). While massage therapy is usually associated with eliminating body aches and lowering pain levels, it has also been found to significantly reduce stress and anxiety as well as stimulate positive feelings.
"We know that cortisol destroys natural killer cells," Field says. "Therefore, since massage decreases cortisol, your immune cells get a boost." Massage even seems to boost immunity in those people with severely compromised immune systems, such as breast-cancer patients.
Less cortisol and more serotonin and dopamine in your system may also mean less stress, anxiety, and depression. "We know that the right side of the frontal lobe of the brain is more active when we're sad, and the left side's activated when we're happy," Field says. "Our studies have observed that massage decreases activity in the right lobe and increases functioning in the left."
Massage for Two
These physiological and emotional benefits are the reason why a side-by-side massage can do wonders for relationships. For example, a massage session helps friends reconnect and focus on the present, something they may be neglecting in favor of their work and personal lives. A side-by-side massage for two is a way for family to share something unique together which creates a new life story.
In addition to massage, Main Street Massage Therapy can also offer side-by-side spa sessions.
Getting a soothing side-by-side massage from Ann Arbor's best massage specialists may not only boost health and well-being, but it can also be exactly what you need to cultivate a happier and closer relationship.

Benefits of a Date Night Couples Massage in Ann Arbor
Traditionally, a massage at a day spa is something done solo - one bed, in a private room, with one therapist. However, this isn't the case anymore. Main Street Massage Therapy gives customers the option to have the massage therapy with their special someone at the same time. A couples massage in Ann Arbor affords twosomes to have the service in the same room but with separate beds and different therapists.
At Main Street Massage Therapy, we offer a massage complete with chocolates to boost the romance factor between couples. This package makes for a good alternative to having candlelit dinners at Ann Arbor restaurants. Still, a romantic time isn't the only benefit of a couples massage. Here are others:
Lessen Inhibitions
During a massage session, some clients like to be nude and covered only with a towel. Unfortunately, not all people feel comfortable with this scenario. With a spouse or romantic partner in the same room, a person who feels shy being alone with the therapist will likely feel more at ease and comfortable.
Improve Feelings of Affection
A massage in Ann Arbor can trigger the release of numerous feel-good hormones like oxytocin, which is popularly known as the cuddle hormone. Romantic pairs who get a massage together are likely to deepen feelings of affection and intimacy. After a couples massage session, you may feel more attached to each other, heightening whatever physical attraction you already have. For couples who have been together for a long time, this renewed attraction will be beneficial.
Provide Unique Bonding Time
Making a romantic relationship work often involves engaging in the same activities from time to time, like watching a game or a film. While tastes may differ for films and sports, a massage provides that common ground for quality time.
Massage isn't just for people in need of stress relief or physical therapy. It can also be ideal for couples who are looking to have a romantic time with each other.
