Top 3 Benefits of Couples Massage

Shamila Moodley

With the festive season here for some of us this is the only time we have to strengthen our relationships or simply look for something fun and exciting to do with our significant other.

Couples Body Massages have proven to bring people closer and to relax and reconnect with the one they love the most.  Massages release oxytocin – also called ‘the love hormone’. In addition, a Couples Massages allows couples to escape from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and to focus on enjoying the moment and relaxing with each other.

Here are my top 3 reasons why you should book a Couples Massage

  1. Bonding

Massages relieve tension from your muscles, but they also release natural chemicals like oxytocin in the body. When you and your partner receive oxytocin — also called the ‘love hormone’ — you will experience increased happiness, calmness, and pleasure both during the massage and after.

  1. Relieve Stress

Just like oxytocin, the body also releases serotonin and dopamine during a massage. These chemicals increase feelings of affection, wellbeing, and calmness. Not only can a massage improve your mood, but it can also help reduce stress and encourage thoughtful conversations with your significant other.

  1. Spending Quality Time Together

We know the average couple today has far too many things written into their diaries to feel like they can fit in a Couples Massage. But luckily, La Vita Spa offers a 50 minute Couples Massage leaving you without an excuse to avoid spending time with your partner.

I hope after reading my blog that this is reason enough to convince you to book a Couples Massage – “you and your partner deserve a little relaxation”.
