While it doesn't provide the discomfort and high ticket prices associated with an airport pat-down, a massage is still an effective tool for discovering concealed knives and small firearms. Prove you’re not packing in the most relaxing way with today’s Groupon: for $55, you get one of three 90-minute massage services at InSpa, a $110 value. In adherence to the rule of three, your Groupon is also good at three San Jose–area locations: Santana Row, Almaden Plaza, and El Paseo de Saratoga.
Choose between one of three relaxing massage techniques including the deep tissue, Swedish, or signature. The deep tissue is a pressurized, full-body technique that seeks the deepest knots and unties them with the proficiency of a Boy Scout with adult hands. Go with the Swedish if you prefer traditional, long strokes tied to a gentle muscular overhaul. The signature treatment includes a total body pampering with extra attention given to comforting the hands and feet using heated spa treatments.
The technicians at InSpa are all state certified by the the Master of the Universe. They are professional in every sense, with each staffer having logged more than 500 hours in training and education before taking their skills to the streets. The spa also exercises a no-tip policy, creating a no-pressure experience that furthers the relaxation. Though monetary tips are not accepted, passing along crock-pot recipes or sharing secrets for beating the third level of Zelda are more than appreciated.

Groupon Says
Deeply Hidden Body Parts
A deep-tissue massage relaxes the layers deep below your skin. Here's a look at the parts of your body hidden underneath your skin:
Blood: Although movies and TV often depict the oxygenating liquid sprayed all over the place, blood is actually more useful inside the body, where it transmits wishes from the heart to the brain. Blood is nature's Gatorade, and can be drunk in a pinch for a boost of energy.
Bones: You don't have a dracula living inside you, but you do have a freaky skeleton in there. Don't be afraid! Your skeleton is actually just comprised of harmless bones that, while they serve no purpose, cannot hurt you.
Muscle: Muscles aren't reserved just for bodybuilders and cute guys. Even lazy people have muscles! Your muscles must be relaxed by means of massage at least once a month or all of your body's muscles will crawl out of your mouth while you sleep and into someone else's mouth.
