A couples massage is two massages happening at the same time, in the same room. You lie on separate tables a short distance apart, and each of you has your own therapist. Nobody has to compromise on pressure or style, because each treatment is planned around the person on the table.

It isn't a special technique. The massage itself is the same one you'd book on your own. What changes is that you share the time: you arrive together, relax together and leave together, instead of one of you waiting in reception for the other.

At Northern Holistic each of you chooses from three massages:

• Relaxing massage: slow, flowing strokes with light to medium pressure.
• Deep tissue massage: firmer, slower work on knots and areas of long-held tension.
• Aromatherapy massage: a relaxing massage with essential oils chosen for you.

An hour with both phones switched off and nothing to organise. For a lot of couples that's harder to find than it should be, and it's half the point.

One of you can have firm deep tissue work on a stiff back while the other has a slow, relaxing massage. You share the room, not the pressure.

Massage can help loosen tight muscles in the neck, shoulders and back, the places that take the strain of desk work, commuting and carrying shopping or children.

Many people find a slow massage helps them switch off and feel calmer for the rest of the day. Some find they sleep better that night too.

If one of you has never had a massage before, having your partner in the room can make the whole thing feel less unfamiliar.

A couples massage suits most adults. It's a popular choice for anniversaries and birthdays, and it works just as well for two friends or family members as it does for partners.

As with any massage, tell us before you book if either of you has a fever or infection, a recent injury or operation, a skin condition in the area to be treated, a blood-clotting disorder, or any condition you're currently being treated for. If you're unsure, check with your doctor first.

If you're pregnant, we'd recommend booking a pregnancy massage instead, which uses positions and pressure suited to pregnancy.

Your couples massage takes place in one of our treatment rooms at Winterfeldtstraße 17: exposed brick, warm lamps and quiet. Each of you is treated by your own therapist. When you book, you choose 60 or 90 minutes and a time, and two therapists are assigned automatically based on who's free.

When you arrive, each of you tells your therapist which massage you'd like and asks for the pressure you want. They'll check for problem areas and anything to avoid, so each massage is set up for the person receiving it. If you want something different halfway through, just say.

You can book online at any time and pay by card, PayPal or cash. If it's a present, a Northern Holistic gift card can be used for it.
