Though it doesn't provide the discomfort and high ticket prices associated with an airport pat-down, a massage is still an effective tool for discovering concealed knives and small firearms. Prove you’re not packing in the most relaxing way with today’s Groupon: for $50, you get an hour-long signature massage (a $100 value) from Invivo Wellness, located along the river.
The hour-long signature massage is administered by a highly trained massage therapist and offers a choice of Swedish, hot-stone, or deep-tissue massage for a personalized pampering experience. To ascend to a state of bliss, opt for a Swedish massage and melt away tension and improve circulation with the long connective strokes. The therapeutic hot-stone treatment combines heated stones with massage to treat tired and world-weary bodies, while the deep-tissue massage targets pesky chronic muscle pains and problematic sports injuries. Each of the treatments includes a luxurious paraffin hand wax treatment, as well as a revitalizing foot and leg massage specifically designed to reduce swelling and improve blood flow in seasons of circulatory drought.
The locally owned and operated relaxerie boasts a clean and modern design, with unobstructed views of the Milwaukee River and an abundance of natural sunlight shining in. Free on-site parking is available, making it convenient for car drivers or equestrians. Call ahead for an appointment.

Invivo Wellness
Light ricochets off the Milwaukee River, sending twinkling photons into Invivo Wellness, a gym and wellness center. On the roof, groups of students drink in the fresh air during seasonal yoga classes, their faces warmed by the sun and hair teased by the cool breezes that jump off the river below. Inside the bustling studio, certified instructors—with backgrounds as diverse as dancing and business—lead students through intense fitness classes. They also coach guests during one-on-one personal-training sessions within the sunny space. Whirring cardio machines comprise just one section of the space's equipment selection upon which clients might train.
Adjacent to the fitness center is Invivo's spa, a quiet and relaxed haven to counter the bustle of its next-door sibling. Populated by certified staff, the spa pampers guests with various massages to complement yoga.
