My husband surprised me with a couple's massage for our anniversary. When we walked into the studio is was dimly lit, smelled nice, and there was soothing music playing - all very nice.
Our massage therapists were responsive to our needs and wishes - I opted for 60min of just upper body, and my husband chose upper body, feet, and hands.
My session was just the right mix of painful and relaxing. I carry chronic knots on my upper back - my massage therapist found them all and worked them out gently but firmly. My husband had a more mild experience and drifted off to other consciousness while on the table.
When we got home we were so relaxed we passed out right after dinner. Thank you for this wonderful experience!
