Four Hand Massage

Four-handed massage is a massage by two masseuse at the same time, sometime they mirroring each others' movements on each side of your body, sometimes one will massage your lower body, and the other will massage your upper body and going back and forth.

When done well, four-handed massage feels like you are completely enveloped in sensation and can be quite a wonderful experience. To synchronize, one therapist takes the lead and the other follows, but it should feel like they're doing the same thing simultaneously. It helps if they have a similar style and "touch" and have worked together before.

Four-handed massage comes out of the Ayurvedic tradition, where it is called abhyanga.

Four-handed massage is trendy and has been added to spa menus at many resort spas. (Some even have eight-handed massage.)
