Like a potato, if the human body is not properly mashed and moisturized, it will never be used for anything more than a science project battery. Make sure your body is properly fluffed and buttered with today's soothing Groupon: for $40, you get the Inner Balance package or Peace of Mind package from Inner Balance Wellness Center in Copiague. The Inner Balance package (an $85 value) includes an hour-long massage and a 15-minute reflexology treatment, whereas the Peace of Mind package is an hour-long massage and a scalp treatment ($85).

Begin your retreat to Inner Balance’s soothing spa-o-sphere by breaking down back barriers with a 60-minute Swedish massage. The Swedish technique uses long, soothing strokes and moderate to light pressure to target strained muscles and untie knots of tension. While you lie on one of Inner Balance’s heated massage tables, the licensed therapist will use hand-to-hand combat to fight stress, improve circulatory conditions, and awaken the lymphatic system that's been hibernating and living off of stashed berries.

If you choose the Inner Balance package, your soles will be de-stressed with a reflexology treatment, which stimulates specific points on feet that correlate to body parts and create whole-body balance. Applying pressure to these points can ease pain and encourage relaxation. The Peace of Mind package tantalizes the scalp for 15 minutes with a custom blend of relaxation oils. Rejuvenate the brain crate with lavender, peppermint, tea tree, rosemary, and Cyprus amid Inner Balance’s zen-like atmosphere, which pampers the senses with softly glowing candles. Call ahead to schedule your spa day.
