Inaccessible to the hands, back musculature often falls prey to freeloading “kick me” signs and hitchhiking parrots. Liberate a beleaguered back with today’s Groupon to Quiescence Day Spa in Petaluma. The spa is open Wednesday–Sunday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Choose between the following options:

• For $45, you get a 30-minute massage of your choice and a 30-minute mini facial treatment (a $90 value). Upgrade to a hot-stone or deep-tissue massage for an additional $20.
• For $55, you get a 90-minute hot-stone massage (a $110 value).<p>

Using all-natural body treatments, Quiescence Day Spa relaxes tightly strung tendons with an array of massage options and mini facial treatments. For 30 minutes, certified massage therapists knead dorsal musculature in rhythmic, circular patterns, corralling sluggish circulatory systems into motion like a cowboy starting a horse’s ignition. Aestheticians cleanse faces with natural Beauty Without Cruelty products during 30-minute mini facial treatments, which are accompanied by a neck and shoulder massage. During 90-minute hot-stone massages, smooth, warm stones ease muscle aches as massage therapists’ knot-untying strokes relax stiff fibers and treat overworked backs to an invigorating tingle.
