Muscles can be burying grounds for intense emotions, as evidenced by the repositories of laughter found in many clowns' hamstrings. Unearth deep-seated emotion with today's Groupon: for $25, you get a 60-minute body somatic-therapy massage at NorthStar Wellness (a $60 value).

Developed locally by the founder of the Midwest Institute of Natural Healing, body somatic therapy is a deep-tissue technique that taps into the mind, body, and spirit connection. As a certified body somatic therapist, Raymond Smith capably administers the 60-minute treatment, which works all the connecting points of mind, body, and spirit to alleviate some of the emotional pain and stresses that accumulate in our bodies and eventually amass into toxins. Through focused manipulations, bodies can yield their pent-up injuries, negative energies, and shoulder, neck, and back pain, leaving most customers feeling more mobile and standing with sincere posture.
