Treat your stiff or aching muscles to the soothing system of effleurage, petrissage, and tapotement, which, like acid washed jeans, were invented by an 18th-century Swedish man. Today's Groupon gets you a 75-minute Swedish massage at Azure Day Spa for $49, a $135 value.

Azure's soothing loft sanctuary helps deliver copious amounts of relaxation. The Swedish massage (the most popular flavor of massage) will melt your muscles like beeswax, erase tension, improve blood flow, and awaken the lymphatic system. One of Azure's expert massage therapists will employ long, smooth strokes to relax your muscles, increasing your flexibility and kneading your worries away.

Relieve stress and tension, improve circulation, and enhance your ability to perform and recover from back-handsprings. More delightful than anesthesia and with fewer hazards, massage can even help you sleep better. The gift of massage can improve your relationships and potentially make up for forgotten leap-year birthdays, so get today's Groupon for someone you've recently slighted.
