Preparation
Before the four-hand massage starts, you might be placed on a soft mattress, a bed or a massage table in a cozy and usually ambient lit room with relaxing music in the background to help you relax and not have to worry about any disruptive sounds.
In higher end massage salons, you can probably choose the type of oil and scent you would like as well as the preferable area to focus on during the massage, this can be discussed either directly with the masseuse or at the reception if not mentioned otherwise. As soon as you are comfortably lying down, two masseuses enter the room to begin the massage.
During the massage
The opening of the massage typically involves both masseuses slowly massaging your upper shoulders and legs in which they are slowly releasing tension from your body, they might both split their focus on completely opposite sides as this can differ from salon to salon and mutual discussion before the massage between masseuses.
There is going to be synchronization in the masseuses movement during the massage as well as deep relaxing techniques, some salons might even offer breathwork before the massage begins in order to help the client release potential anxiety. As opposed to classic erotic massages or thai massages, the four-hand massage will have much more to offer as your entire body will be focused on at the same time with much more pleasure.
Benefits of four-hand massages
Deeper relaxation:
Since the massage incorporates two masseuses at once, you are going to feel much more pleasure and therefore a much more intensified way of relaxing. The synchronized movements are much more intense compared to a single masseuse.
Increased blood flow:
Two masseuses are going to help reduce muscle soreness as well as improve one's blood flow much better due to being able to shift their focus on multiple parts of the body at once and therefore also dedicating more time massaging each body part compared to a single masseuse.
Erotic experience:
The feeling of having a single masseuse relieving body soreness is already relaxing on its own but having two masseuses in the same room can be a much more erotic experience. It can be very meditating for the mind although the client has to allow himself to fully open up and not let anxiety or stress overwhelm them, which would automatically disrupt the experience they are receiving.
Potential drawbacks of a four-hand massage
If it is your first time receiving a massage, choosing a four-hand massage can be very overwhelming since now you are being approached by two masseuses instead of one and therefore this can lead to anxiety. If you enjoy talking to the masseuse, whether that being only exchanging a few words can now be completely shifted the other direction because there is another masseuse in the room that might not want to talk during the massage.
How to manage anxiety before receiving a four-hand massage?
Talking to your masseuses about your concerns is a great way to overcome this type of anxiety because they usually have similar situations with previous clients and therefore they will always try to take things very slow which will help you relax the most. In some cases you might even ask to receive a massage only from one masseuse and afterwards ask the second to enter the room, during the massage.
Try and shift your mind into understanding that the masseuses are only providing a service and the salon is a judgement-free zone and therefore you are able to be yourself and this way the stress levels might drop.
