A couples massage can be a great way to reconnect with your partner. Zen Massage Charlotte has been helping clients in the Greater Charlotte area unwind for a decade. These therapeutic massage experts in North Carolina have the inside scoop on how to achieve maximum relaxation through massage.

Below, Zen Massage Charlotte shares five tips on how to make the most of your couples massage:

• Clear Your Calendars: Make sure you and your partner have plenty of time for your couples massage — and don’t schedule any big plans afterwards! The point is to calm down and enjoy this time together. If you’re running off to an appointment as soon as you’re done, you'll just get stressed again. 
• Unplug From The Outside World: Leave phones on silent — or ideally, don’t even bring them into the massage room with you. A couples massage means quality time for you and your partner, and a buzzing phone will only distract you both.
• Talk To Your Therapist: Pressure too light? Too hard? Have a sore spot that needs extra attention? Don’t hesitate to let your massage therapist know how you’re feeling.
• Strip Down: If you’re feeling shy, you may be tempted to keep your undies on for your massage. Consider disrobing fully — you’ll still have a towel! Your massage therapist will have an easier time and you’ll get a more relaxing experience if you don’t have that extra bit of elastic digging into you.
• Get Clean: Do your massage therapist a favor and arrive at your appointment freshly showered. Having newly cleaned and shaved skin will also mean you are feeling confident and calm going into your appointment.

Nine of the 12 massage therapy rooms at Zen Massage Charlotte can be used for couples massages. Visit the website or call (704) 342-0996 for more information or to schedule an appointment. The professional massage therapists will be happy to help you and your partner relax with a fabulous therapeutic massage for two.
