Massage is a safer way to work out knots than lying on the floor of your car and working the pedals with your hands to drive over speed bumps. Slow down stress with this Groupon.

Choose from Three Options

• $35 for a 60-minute master-level custom massage (a $75 value)
• $69 for a group couples-massage class (a $150 value)
• $109 for a private couples-massage class (a $250 value)

During the master-level massage, a therapist with a minimum of five years of experience combines Swedish, deep-tissue, and neuromuscular modalities in a customized massage that can relieve pain or increase range of motion. Couples-massage training caps attendance at six couples for a group session or one couple for a private session. During the 90-minute training, students learn to use body mechanics and leverage to perform Swedish, deep-tissue, and sports massage techniques. Students spend 45 minutes practicing the techniques under the guidance of an instructor, and 45 minutes on the table while their partners practice on them.

StoneWater Institute

As an accredited massage school, StoneWater Institute educates classes of aspiring massage therapists until they attain an associate's degree or diploma in massage therapy. The center teaches students how to perform popular modalities—including Swedish and deep tissue—and trains them for the tug-of-war section of every state's certification process. Training sessions for couples provide a less intense alternative for individuals seeking to give better massages.

The center also includes four private treatment rooms where trained therapists demonstrate their skill by deftly unknotting muscles. These massages can incorporate neuromuscular techniques, reflexology, or hot stones.
