In addition to experiencing the humiliation of being buried by dogs and dug up by science teachers, skeletons are ornery because they lack the musculature necessary to get massaged. Avoid taking your skin for granted with today's Groupon: for $40, you get a 60-minute therapeutic massage at Balance Day Spa in Mount Pleasant (an $80 value).

Balance Day Spa's licensed massage therapists soften the soul sack with a number of healing treatments that relax and relieve tired, achy clients. Surrender to soothing touch as neuromuscular therapy integrated with deep-tissue massage technique puttifies tense muscles and caulks up stress-related body cracks. Chronic and acute pains get worked out of the body as motion range and circulation are increased. Neuromuscular therapy uses concentrated pressure on certain trigger points to address the elements that cause pain, such as lack of blood supply to soft tissues or too many break-dance competitions with kindergarteners on the playground.

Relax in the cool tones of Balance Day Spa's private massage rooms, which come equipped with plush terrycloth robes, a washbasin, and sentient sock monkeys. Soft beds welcome clients for the one-hour massage procedure, absorbing them into a vortex of comfy bliss.
