When you see “couples massage,” your mind might jump to romantic partners, date nights, or anniversary gifts. But at Phoenix Therapy Galway, we’ve reimagined what “couples massage” can mean. It’s not just for lovers. It's for two people who want wellness, connection, and relaxation together - whether you’re friends, siblings, or mother-daughter.
Here’s how it works and why you should consider it (even if your “plus one” isn’t your partner):
How our couples massage works
Same time, separate rooms: You and your companion receive treatments simultaneously, but in private rooms.
Two therapists: Each person gets individualised care tailored to their needs (deep tissue, hot stone, cupping, etc.).
Shared experience, individual journey: You’re together in timing and intention, but your body’s treatment is personal.
Because of this setup, it removes the awkwardness of mismatched pressure or preferences. It’s supportive - not limiting.
Why it’s perfect for friends, mothers, sisters, or anyone
1. You both get time off in one booking
Coordinating schedules is hard. With couples massage, you book once and you both get your session. No extra planning, no waiting.
2. It’s a spa date without pressure
You don’t have to bring a romantic partner to enjoy this kind of self-care. Want to treat your best friend, your sister, your mum? This is your ticket to a shared reset.
3. You amplify the mood
Massage triggers feel-good hormones like serotonin and oxytocin. Doing it together can enhance the emotional lift. You leave feeling physically lighter - and more connected. Phoenix Therapy even mentions these mood benefits in their couples massage offering.
4. You still keep your individual freedom
Because you're in separate rooms, you each control your pressure, and your comfort level.
What you can expect
Arrival and consultation (you can share your goals - one may want deeper work, the other light release).
Therapists tailor pressure and techniques for each person.
Walking out side by side feeling like you leveled up your wellness.
Who this is ideal for
Best friends who talk but never pause
Mother-daughter duos in need of downtime
Siblings who want a detox from stress
Colleagues or business partners wanting to reset
Anyone who values self-care and wants to share it
Tips and considerations
Book in advance - especially weekends or evenings.
Communicate your needs - don’t shy away from telling the therapist your preferred pressure or if you want more stretch work or muscle release.
Hydrate afterward - massage flushes fluid; drinking water helps recovery.
Wear comfortable clothing afterward - your body might feel looser than usual.
Gift idea - this makes a great present for birthdays, celebrations, or even “just because” moments.
At Phoenix Therapy Galway, couples massage isn’t just for couples. It’s for anyone you want to share deeper wellness with. When both bodies relax at once, it transforms time into something restorative. Whether you're bringing your friend, your sister, or your mum - book your sessions together and walk out renewed, side by side.
