Like house parties, massages give people an excuse to forget about everyday stresses and fall asleep on someone else's table. Attend a fettle-ready fiesta with today's Groupon: for $30, you get a 60-minute Swedish, deep-tissue, or prenatal massage at Bodyworks (a $65 value).

Certified massage therapist Kristii Adrian gently kneads healing into achy muscles within the bounds of a tranquil studio that features earth-toned walls. Patients can choose from three of Adrian's relaxing massages. The Swedish option reduces stress and streamlines blood circulation, stimulating sleepy lymphatic systems with flowy, sliding strokes. After a long, hard day of hurling javelins at airplanes, athletes can relax with a deep-tissue massage, which soothes specific muscles with targeted pressure, and expectant mothers shed pregnancy's aches and pains during a prenatal massage.
