Pax Massage pampers bodies and faces with relaxing spa services from a team of therapists who specialize in a variety of techniques. Experienced kneaders use gliding strokes and lullabies sung by a Nordic children’s choir to relieve tension with Swedish modalities, and they target particular muscle groups to alleviate chronic pain during the deep-tissue massage. Long strokes join forces with the warm weight of lava and basalt stones to disband deep-seated tension in hot-stone massages, whereas the sports massage incorporates assisted stretching to augment feats of athleticism and reduce recovery time. Clients have the option of supplementing their massage with a deep pore facial to help treat breakouts, skin dehydration, and fine lines, as well as an exfoliating anti-aging mask infused with vitamin C or a revitalizing renewal mask containing seawater and secret mermaid moisturizers.

Gauzy curtains filter out select wavelengths of sunlight flooding through the walls of windows in Pax Massage's bright waiting room. Throughout the spa, residential touches enhance the relaxation, with simple light fixtures illuminating the hallways, exposed brick in several treatment rooms, and novelty fish reprogrammed to sing Enya songs.

Pax Massage

Though massage can pamper and relax, Helena Hughes knows it can also heal. The owner and massage therapist at Pax Massage has believed in the power of touch ever since it brought peace to her terminally ill grandmother and her grieving mother. Massage provided her grandmother an hour to herself every week and raised her spirits. For her mother, “it was more of an emotional thing, of someone taking care of her for that hour.” After her grandmother passed way, Hughes returned to her job in PR but couldn’t muster much enthusiasm. “I kept going back to [the fact] that my grandmother and mother were able to get through this time with the help of a healing touch.” So, with the encouragement of her husband, Hughes decided to switch careers.

While her spa was being built, she took night-school classes in massage therapy and energy work. Now, she specializes in helping clients “who are going through a significant loss,” just as another therapist once helped her own family. Hughes observes that when people go through loss, they accrue tension in their neck and shoulders, which can lead to injuries and discomfort. “What I preach to all my clients is that it’s a choice to be in good health and to feel well, and I think that massage is very powerful in doing that [for them],” she says. Hughes joins nine other massage therapists and an aesthetician to offer healing massages and skincare services with Biotone products. Clients can request male or female massage therapists.

The Groupon Guide to: Movie-Theater Etiquette

To maintain the suspension of disbelief necessary to enjoy a film, movie theaters maintain a complex code of conduct for their guests. Here's a look at what you can and cannot do during a movie:

• Talking is frowned upon.
• Frowning is frowned upon, as your physical displeasure may spread to other patrons.
• Texting is tolerated, as long as your phone's virtual keyboard noises are disabled.
• Making the keyboard noises with your mouth is not necessary.
• Enjoying popcorn is encouraged.
• Dipping Reese's Pieces into your soda is discouraged, on grounds of radical deliciousness.
• Deducing the film's twist ending before the director intended is considered rude.
• Aiming a laser pointer at the screen is considered hilarious.
• Being too good at preshow trivia will arouse the suspicion of the theater's security force.
• Not being good enough at preshow trivia will do the same.
• Allowing the emotions aroused by the film to later be replicated by real-world experiences is impossible.

Why is hooting during a movie allowed but hollering discouraged?
