Nothing feels better than a sensual couple massage from the one you love!

My husband and I were the same way.

We both love massages, but hadn't a clue of how to actually give one.

Until a friend of mine suggested we take a night class on how to give a sensual couple massage.

So, I signed us up (it was only $30 for the 2 of us!) and the next thing we knew, we were learning how to massage. We learned pretty much everything..scalp, back, shoulder, arm, leg, foot. It was so much fun!

So now that I know how, I want to share it with anybody who wants to learn.

Here are some step by step instructions on how to give a foot and back massage.

Health Benefits of Massage

* Promote relaxation

* Stress management

* Postural balance

* Improve circulation

* Improve lymphatic drainage for release of toxins

During a massage, signals are sent thorough out the body, promoting good circulation, and releasing toxins. (Drinking plenty of water after a massage will help carry away these toxins). This reduces pain and tension in your body and also gives your immune system a boost. Endorphins released will help you feel relaxed and calm.

Although many people can benefit from a massage, there are some people who should consult their doctor before receiving one. Consult a physician if you have any of the following conditions:

* Pregnant

* Superficial veins

* Congestive heart failure

* Infectious disease

* Sunburn

* Blood clots

* High or low blood pressure

If you have any other health concerns, to be safe, you may want to check with your doctor before getting a massage.
