Tips for Making the Most of Your Couples Massage

According to Brides.com, a couples massage is a “crazy-great treat.” They offer a handful of tips and tricks to help you get the most out of your couples spa day!

First off, they recommend that you don’t plan anything immediately after your Chicago massage.
“One of the hallmarks of a great massage? You’re in a bit of a blissed-out coma afterward and will likely not want to leap tall buildings in a single bound. So pick your time slot with care.”

Brides.com also suggests you don’t eat anything too heavy before your visit to a day spa in Chicago. “While tummies are not typically a focal point of a full-body massage (unless you specifically request that, of course), trust us when we tell you that you don’t want to dive into a 16-ounce rib-eye steak just prior to treatment. Instead, have a light, healthy meal—like a yummy salad laced with a little protein action—about two hours beforehand.”

Also on the list of tips from Brides.com: wait until after your Chicago massages to indulge in a few cocktails. “Undies,” they say, “are optional but not optimal.” And, for the best couples spa day, turn off your electronics.

We’ve got some great advice for lovebirds, too: Book your couples spa day at Spa Space! Located downtown on the west edge of Chicago’s Loop, Spa Space has been named the best spa in Chicago for good reason.

Why It’s Totally Normal to Cry During a Massage

As Maura Lynch said in a story found on InStyle.com, “Massage does many things; it unwinds knots, releases tension and alleviates stress. But I never thought the service might unleash a waterfall of tears. And yet there I was on a comfy, heated table as a therapist worked a particularly stiff area in my shoulders and the floodgates opened.

“I was totally confused,” she continued. “I felt great! I was getting a massage! I wasn’t sad at all! But this apparently (thankfully) doesn’t make me a basket case: ‘The limbic system in our brain controls our emotions, responses to stimuli, behavior and memories,’ says Amy Olthoff, Spa Director of Spa Nalai at the Park Hyatt New York. ‘When the nerve endings in our tissues are stimulated, it’s not uncommon that this releases trapped emotional memories, even if you may not feel a sense of trauma or sadness.’

“Who knows what I was holding onto?” Maura said in conclusion. “All I know is that I walked away from that spa feeling lighter, freer, and more at ease than after any other treatment before.”
