Four hands massage versus duo massage

What is a four-hand massage?

This is a massage given by two masseurs. That is why four hands rest on your body.

What is the difference between a duo-massage and four-hand massage?

With a duo massage you and your partner are massaged simultaneously or in turn in the same room. With a four-hand massage you are only massaged by two masseurs. A combination is also possible: you and your partner both receive a four-hand massage.

What is the effect of a four-hand massage?

The synchronized movements of the masseurs harmonize the left and right sides of the body and of both hemispheres. mind, resulting in a balance between these two.

An important advantage of a four-hand massage is that the mind relaxes more. Because you are touched at more places at the same time, it is impossible for your brain to follow all movements of the hands of the masseurs. This creates a special feeling of surrender. Your mind gives control and there is an even deeper relaxation.

Do tantra and four-hand massage go together?

Yes, a tantra massage is often offered as a four-hand massage. A tantra massage requires surrender to the moment, which happens faster when you are massaged by four hands. Your life energy is generated by one masseur and the other masseur spreads the energy over your body. With so much attention and energy you will feel very vital. Often the touch is combined with supporting your breathing, this ensures that you get even more into your body and your cells wake up. This can deepen the experience even more.

What should you pay attention to when choosing a four-handed massage?

Since a four-hand massage is more intense, the pace of a four-hand massage should be slower than usual. Your brain needs time to process all impressions of the touch. Each stroking or kneading takes about two seconds before the feeling of the touch sinks in. Unfortunately, many masseurs in saunas and spas work at too fast a pace, losing the benefits of a four-hand massage.

It is important that the masseurs who give a four-hand massage are well matched. If the movements are not performed simultaneously, this can feel uneasy. The masseurs must work in the same way in their massage technique, at the same rate and with a similar pressure, so that the synchronized massage feels as if the two masseurs are one. This also makes demands on good cooperation, because a four-handed massage has everything to do with smooth movements. Both masseurs need to feel exactly which touch is needed and they can coordinate this without words.
