Giving yourself a massage, like throwing yourself a surprise birthday party or asking for your own hand in marriage, is a surefire disappointment. Leave kneading to the knowledgeable with today's Groupon: for $79, you get two 55-minute massages at Elements Therapeutic Massage in Southlake (up to a $178 value).

The highly trained and qualified therapists at Elements Therapeutic Massage specialize in five pain-reducing massage techniques that call on custom pressure levels to send stressful signals far from the body. When booking an appointment, Elements Therapeutic Massage matches patrons with a massage therapist based on the amount of pressure they desire during the treatment, ranging from a light-touch level one to a deep-delving level four that puts trigger points under more pressure than an SAT exam on the ocean floor. Before their session, clients select a modality such as a Swedish massage, a light-pressure treatment that relies on long, flowing muscle strokes to soothe tension, relieve stress, and bring tranquility to both body and mind.

A sports massage targets the stress that repetitive motions place on joints, ligaments, and tendons, helping to reduce injury and swelling and improve range of motion. Expectant mothers can relieve discomfort and stress with a prenatal massage, which bolsters the well-being of both mother- and baby-to-be. Although Elements does not have a couples massage room, customers can opt to share their second massage during the same session with a stressed-out family member, pain-suffering compatriot, or an especially stiff two-by-four from the neighborhood woodpile. Hot-stone massages are also available for an extra $10 fee.

Though Elements Therapeutic Massage features discounted prices online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
