Bodies and minds tense and relax in unison, which is why math problems cause shoulder stiffness and stretching brings on transcendental visions of smiling wyverns. Loosen up the physical and metaphysical with today’s Groupon: for $34, you get a 60-minute, full-body massage at A Perfect Day Spa (a $68 value). This Groupon is valid at the Millbrae and Fremont locations, as well as at Mayflower Day Spa in Santa Clara.

The certified therapists at A Perfect Day Spa coax burdens of stress and tension out of client bodies with an expansive repertoire of massage techniques. Muscle pamperings are available across an intensity spectrum that ranges from light and relaxing to deep tissue, with something to suit every client. The classic Swedish method uses kneading and sliding to dissolve tightness, and the sports massage helps to rehabilitate athletes weary from slam-dunk marathons. Backs will peacefully glow with warmth and improved circulation after hot stones draw out the chill of inflexibility. A Perfect Day Spa also offers a pregnancy massage specifically designed to mitigate the aches of carrying around a perfectly formed, tiny adult.

The Red Cross Association and Heart Research Institute receive massage donations from A Perfect Day Spa, which has also done charitable work in association with organizations such as the California School for the Deaf. Whatever massage style clients select, they'll leave the large, warm, and softly lit locations with a spring in their step and a veritable Slinky of joy scuttling from their heart.
