Although it's been made immune to fire, the human body is still susceptible to injury from well-aimed éclairs and the constant grind of walking upright. Revive a worn soul sack with today's Groupon: for $49, you get a spa sampler package (a $120 value) at Essential Therapy. A sampler package, includes a 45-minute massage and a four-week bath pass.

Essential Therapy—founded by former massage therapist for the New York Mets, Carlos Araque—harnesses the positive power of massage to clean dead leaves of lethargy out of its clients' holistic gutters. Choose from one of several massage styles including Swedish, deep tissue, prenatal, and shiatsu (only the hot-stone massage is excluded from this deal). After hornet's nests of hurt and spider webs of stress have been swept from the contours of your body's crawlspaces, continue rejuvenating over the course of a four-week bath pass (your pass will be activated on the day of your massage). The pass grants access to Essential Therapy's sauna, steam room, and Jacuzzi. Groupon holders will also receive a $30 coupon when they arrive for their massage. This coupon can be used toward any facial at Essential Therapy.

Essential Therapy coaxes energy-restoring tranquility from the ether of 5,000 square feet of feng shui space. Candlelit passages, silk-adorned floors, and trickling waterwalls bring to mind the mountaintop temple in India where rap artists often film music videos about reading. Couples seeking synchronized serenity can each get a Groupon and request for their massages to take place together. Or you can purchase multiple Groupons to pamper yourself. Call ahead to schedule your massage.

Reviews

Citysearchers give Essential Therapy 4.5 stars, and New York Magazine gave it a critics' pick:

  • The downstairs quarters are cool and spacious—low bamboo ceilings and plush velvet floors notwithstanding—and include five treatment rooms for targeted, customized massage: ET’s signature style combines Swedish, Shiatsu, and deep tissue, though therapists also specialize in craniosacral, medical, and prenatal. – Sarah Walker, New York Magazine
  • I went for a spa package (basically massage and facial) and both services were great, especially I was impressed with my Deep Tissue Massage - probably the best I've ever had! – grass4, Citysearch
  • I really like this place! I have been here many times and enjoy that it is small and intimate. The services I have gotten, mostly massages, have also been great. – LT1175, Citysearch
