What You'll Get
Like cars, human beings require occasional corrective bodywork, custom finishing, and fresh coats of wax to avoid being towed away and crushed into a cube. Keep your chassis classy with today's Groupon: for $50, new clients get $100 worth of services at Body Techniques in Alameda or towards an on-site personal office visit.
Body Techniques' trademark on-site treatment ($65 per hour) sets up at workplaces to de-stress corporate corpuses with a blend of spa services that reward hard work while boosting productivity. Treat the aches associated with desk work, grape mashing, or desk smashing with therapeutic massages in a suite of styles, from subtle, rejuvenating Swedish ($59 for an hour), to the finger-fluttering Shiatsu and sultry gravitas of hot stone ($69 per hour each). The expert therapists can also pinpoint prickly pain problems with acupuncture services aimed at regulating the body's energy flow to more closely resemble that of a greased waterslide ($99). An initial treatment with the 2,000-year-old practice includes a consultation and runs 90 minutes.
