What is four hands massage?
In a four hands massage, two therapists work on you at the same time, mirroring each other's strokes so that both sides of the body receive identical attention in the same moment. The effect is distinctive: the brain cannot follow two sets of movements at once, stops anticipating the next stroke and lets go far more quickly than it does under a single pair of hands.
The technique underneath is usually Swedish or relaxing, sometimes with warm oil, and the therapists rehearse their choreography beforehand. It is offered by spas with the staff to pair up, by agencies, and by independent therapists who work together regularly rather than in ad hoc combinations.
Sessions are 60 minutes as a rule, occasionally 90, and are priced close to double a single treatment. It is booked as a treat or a gift more than as a routine, and needs advance notice because two diaries have to be aligned. Do not confuse it with a couples massage, which is two clients and two therapists in the same room.

Where to find it in Birmingham
The NEC, the ICC and the airport hotels keep a steady demand for mobile treatments, and Solihull has become a sub-market of its own, with therapists who quote hotel visits as their default and whose availability tracks the exhibition schedule. The Jewellery Quarter has the longest-established independents, several in converted workshop units fitted out as proper treatment rooms, and it is the best area for remedial and sports work. Edgbaston is residential and quieter, favoured for longer afternoon treatments and for pregnancy massage, and Moseley has a strong holistic and aromatherapy presence.

Four hands is one client treated by two therapists at once. Couples massage is two clients, each treated by their own therapist, in the same room.
How much does a four hands massage cost?
Between 1.8 and 2 times the single rate, so typically £90 to £150 for an hour outside London and £130 to £220 in the capital.
How far ahead should I book?
At least a few days. Spas and agencies need to roster two therapists together, and independent pairs may only work together on certain days.
