Saint Louis Park, MN Spa and Massage

Nourish winter-worn skin with today's Groupon. For $75, you'll get a 90-minute Korean spa ritual at Sabai Body Temple, one of the city's best spas according to Citysearchers, who voted it Best Minneapolis Massage in 2009. The hour-and-a-half experience will cleanse, stimulate, restore, and renew seasonally parched skin.

Correct the creaks, clacks, and uncomfortable transversal twists of a bothered back with today’s Groupon. For $35, you’ll get a one-hour therapeutic massage (a $75.51 value) at Artifex Manuum Spa and Gallery, a soothing sanctuary in the Wedge. Unlike most spas, Artifex doubles as a gallery for locally created arts and crafts and doesn't have a wacky jerboa who's always hopping by to give advice and delightfully misunderstand common proverbs.

The Refinery boosts bodily morale with a bundle of rejuvenating spa treatments, all administered by a professional, experienced staff. With the spa package, serene seekers can pacify all of the body’s fibers, follicles, and subterranean volcanoes, starting with a muscle-mollifying Swedish massage, a 30-minute knead that untangles knotty tendons and reduces everyday and interstellar stress (a $33 value). The pampering package continues with a 30-minute express facial that refreshes skins with a steam, light exfoliation and a customized mask crafted from invigorating Dermalogica products (a $33 value). Hands and feet, meanwhile, find solace in the express mani-pedi, which cleanse, files, buffs, and polishes weary paws for smoother, photo-op-appropriate appendages (a $51 value). The day’s body coddling commences with a professional haircut, a follicular denouement of luxurious shampooing, snipping, and basic styling (a $35 value).

Reflexology is based on the belief that reflex points in hands and feet are directly wired to organs, glands, and endo-wonderthings within the human body. By massaging and applying pressure to the skin gloves and flesh boots, reflexology stimulates the body into self-healing, reducing stress and improving circulation more cleanly and effectively than directly massaging the spleen. Phyllis Schwartz, the founder of Keep in Touch and the daughter of a nurse, started practicing reflexology at the age of 10, and is trained in the Eunice Ingham method.

At Out on A Limb Massage, visitors can shed stress while smoothing out back tension with their choice of a 90-minute deep-tissue or relaxation massage or a CranioSacral Therapy session that lasts up to two hours. Performed by massage therapist Cheryl Martin, each massage modality helps melt away accumulated stress. A deep-tissue massage ($105) uses focused stimulation to treat high-stress areas and results in a balanced body, and a relaxation massage ($105) uses smooth, flowing strokes to improve circulation, range of movement, and relieve muscular tension. CranioSacral Therapy ($125) allows fully clothed participants to strengthen their natural healing mechanism with extremely light-touch stimulation during a session that lasts up to two hours. Along with healing physically, customers will be able to recharge mentally and emotionally while relaxing in Out on A Limb's serene, welcoming atmosphere. Jettison invasive stress from your soul ship with today’s side deal to Out on A Limb Massage.

Inside a tiled sanctuary, puffs of perfumed steam swim through the air, hovering just above the surface of a Japanese soaking tub. This is no ordinary bathtub. It’s the site of Fusion LifeSpa’s curative bath, a treatment that helps clients unwind in tinctures of hot mustard, spicy ginger, or lavender. Inspired by holistic Asian medicine and therapeutic European techniques, services such as curative baths embody Fusion LifeSpa’s eclectic influences.

In the front waiting area, staff members welcome clients with warm cups of organic green tea, a fitting complement to the spa’s feng shui decor. Inside the treatment rooms, European spa treatments—such as massages and facials—contrast Asian-inspired services, including the jasmine facial mask, which makes use of the spa's proprietary skincare line. Other services, such as a footbath inspired by a Moroccan hammam, cleanse the body with natural assistance from organic coffee, tangerines, and figs. And for holistic care, the spa’s acupuncture services can realign energy lines faster than an electrician trained in heart surgery.
