What is a 4 hand Massage? 

In a four-hand massage, two therapists work on one client, often using a wide combination of techniques and moves. A four-hand massage can be like experiencing two full body massages at the same time. Being world-class massage therapists we will use the client’s body as a form of canvas onto which we choreograph slow, detailed moves of varying paces and pressures. ​

​When two therapists and four hands hit your body, your mind reacts differently. At first you might find yourself trying to keep track of the therapists, where each one is and what each one is doing, struggling to keep it all in a very logical order in your head. But very quickly your brain realizes it’s not sure who is doing what, and gives up control.  This is a powerful experience for anyone who has a hard time letting go during treatments.

What is bodywork?  

Bodywork is a unique and holistic approach to treating the body, which incorporates more than one modality of healing techniques. Many people train to become a massage therapist, but becoming a bodyworker takes times and maturation. 

​Bodywork and massage therapy are technically one in the same, though more specifically, bodywork is part of a larger holistic umbrella that encompasses massage therapy, much as it does other forms of herbal and even energy therapy. The landscape of bodywork is indeed vast, and always evolving.

What are 4 hand Massage & bodywork BENEFITS? 

This unique type of massage offers other advantages that can benefit clients of all ages and include the following:

1. Enhanced Relaxation
32% of people cite stress as the reason they undergo a massage.
Relaxation is one of the goals of every massage appointment. By utilizing two massage therapists instead of just one, four-hand massages provide even more relaxation than the standard method. Gentle touch relaxes us – that is a fact. Having two expertly trained masseurs massage you at the same time is sure to increase the amount of relaxation you experience both during and after the massage. When both sides of your body are being massaged at the same time, your brain often has a difficult time choosing a movement to focus on. Due to this confusion, your brain ultimately surrenders to concentration and allows you to fully relax during the massage. If you are feeling especially tense or anxious due to the responsibilities of your job or life, you can give your body a chance to relax by scheduling a unique four-hand massage.

2. More Intense Muscle Soothing
89% of people believe massage is effective for reducing pain!
During a four-hand massage, two massage therapists work on different parts of the body at the same time to provide an experience unlike any other. While many different types of massage soothe sore muscles, four-hand massage offers a more soothing experience thanks to the expert team of massage therapists. Four-hand massages are great options for athletes and other people who are physically active on a regular basis.

3. Opportunities to Try New Massage Techniques
We combine different massage techniques during four-hand massages. This combination allows therapists to offer the most appropriate massage style for each part of the body, helping each client feel better inside and out. You can request different types of massage techniques during your four-hand massage to find out which ones appeal most to you.

4. Reduced Stress
It is easy to feel stressed out, but massage therapy offers relief to both the body and mind. Give yourself more time to relax and clear your mind by scheduling a four-hand massage. This appointment is sure to reduce tension in the muscles and erase stress. Massages decrease cortisol, a stress hormone, which results in lasting feelings of improved mood and relaxation. By essentially getting two massages in one sessions you’re able to achieve a higher state of relaxation during a four hand massage.

5. Improved Blood Circulation
The body thrives when blood circulates properly. Regular massages can improve the way your blood circulates, which can decrease certain signs of aging like wrinkles and dry skin. This also means that your cells get important nutrients with less of a struggle. It helps move out waste and gasses, which keeps your entire nervous system running more efficiently. Better blood circulation can also keep your blood temperature stable and balanced.

6. Strengthened Muscles
There are certain massage techniques that can actually strengthen muscles. If muscles are weak, it makes it more difficult to perform everyday tasks. Stronger muscles make you feel better and give you the prowess to be more active. If you become more physically active, you will feel better and might even add a few years to your life. 

7. Improve Mental Health
​Depression and anxiety can make you more stressed out, which might speed up the aging process. A four hand massage can also benefit your mental health by alleviating symptoms of depression and anxiety. Without all of these negative emotions, you are free to get more enjoyment out of your life.

8. Better Sleep
Sleep is the foundation of a healthy lifestyle. If you are not sleeping well, your system will not function as well as it could. Make appointments for regular massages to improve the way you sleep so you feel better during the day. Since you are able to achieve more during a four hand massage, you will be able to reap more benefits such as better sleep. A healthy sleep routine is one of the best ways to feel younger.
