The holiday season ushers in unwelcome guests, turkey-related tension, and awkward family dinners where no one is willing to put down their guns. Smooth away anxiety wrinkles from over-served abdomens with today's Groupon: for $30, you get a 60-minute deep-tissue, relaxation, Swedish, or prenatal massage at LaVida Massage in Smithtown (up to a $79.95 value).

LaVida Massage's comfortable atmosphere and experienced therapists invite guests of all ages and genders to unwind and improve their emotional and physical well-being. During a one-hour massage, one of LaVida's skilled deck hands untangles back knots, helping to banish stress from the body. The deep-tissue massage accesses the deepest layers of soft tissue and targets specific muscle groups to drain wells of pain and soreness. Light- to medium-pressured long strokes soothe sore muscles during Swedish massages, and prenatal-massage maneuvers gently alleviate the discomfort associated with pregnancy. This LaVida Massage location houses several elegantly appointed private treatment rooms in calming earth-tones, and an experienced staff trained in both the science and art of massage and nurturing by especially paternal penguins. Locales stay open seven days a week and offer weeknight extended hours, so clients can squeeze some relaxation into hectic electric-shoveling schedules.

Though LaVida Massage sometimes features a discounted price online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
