Here’s the Rub: Valentine’s Couples Massage
Classes send couples home ready to massage

…A more nuts-and-bolts approach to massage is being hosted by The Back Rub Company in Phoenix this weekend. During its three-hour couples-massage workshops, students will learn strokes to help achy backs, necks and shoulders and acupuncture and reflexology points to relieve headaches, sinus problems and lower-back pain.

“You won’t learn to give a professional massage,” owner Tiffany Richards-Thibodeaux said. “But you will learn the basics to be able to go home and do it comfortably.”

Richards-Thibodeaux’s students, who range from parents-to-be to triathletes, also will leave with goody bags, including aromatherapy oil. The cost is $75.
