Why Getting a Massage is Like a Relationship

Ever wonder why getting a massage can feel so much like dating? Here are a few reasons:

1. The Initial Awkwardness

Just like the first date, there’s that awkward moment when you’re not sure if you should talk or just lie there in silence. Do you make small talk about the weather, or do you just grunt in approval when they hit the right spot?

2. The Build-Up

There’s a lot of anticipation leading up to a massage. You think about it all day, just like you would before meeting someone special. “Will they be good? Will they know all my pressure points? Will I leave feeling like a new person or just slightly less tense?”

3. The Unexpected Surprises

Massage feels much better than you expected it to feel! The eye pillow, hot towel on the feet, the tingles, loose shoulders, there is so many surprises that you don't expect.

4. The Post-Massage Glow

After a good massage, you feel relaxed, rejuvenated, and ready to take on the world.

5. The Regret

And let’s not forget the regret. You know, that moment when you think, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?"

And then lastly, the next massage you have, just know you will feel so much more comfortable and relax so much more and get way more out of your massage.

So next time you book a massage, remember: it’s not just about relaxation; it's a journey of bonding with your therapist and telling them your likes and dislikes and after a few sessions your massage is perfect for you!
