When the going gets tough, the tough get massages so they can stay tough with relaxed muscles that were once incredibly tough. Today's Groupon offers cavernous physical and emotional healing through massage manipulations at Essence of Tranquility in Rocky River. Choose between a deep-tissue or relaxation massage for $25 (a $60 value) or an Ashiatsu massage for $30 (a $80 value). Remind your body that you do care and always will if massages are on the table.

Crumple the accrued stresses of your life into one conveniently disposable stress ball with a visit to Essence of Tranquility's soothing facility, where compassionate therapists dedicate themselves to your individual needs. Years of experience with deep-tissue massages have made the Essence staff qualified healers when it comes to returning a sunshiny feeling to your body non-intravenously.

Today's first option pits you between the benevolent forces of the relaxation massage and the deep-tissue massage. Relaxation technique involves gentle kneading, stroking, vibration, and percussion to return balance to your body, whereas the deep-tissue favors gentle firmness to relax surface muscles and dig down into the knotted underbelly of deeper and more frustrated muscles. Your $60 worth of massage can be used toward 60 minutes of bliss ($60) or a longer massage (75- or 90-minute) for an additional cost ($15 or $30 more, respectively).

Today's secondary feature highlights the ancient and graceful Ashiatsu massage, Essence's most popular massage, which will make your body feel like a beloved hopscotch court. Controlled walking across your back relieves stubborn tensions without crushing you, just squishing enough for sweet reprieve to spread through your limbs.

Many factors contribute to bodily discomfort, and sometimes it takes a hired hand or sought-after pair of feet to eliminate the build-up. Treat your temple as you yourself would want a temple to be treated, and feel your love for life return with appendages fresh from vacation.
