Like Hawaii, relaxation can be a challenging state to reach. Ensnare elusive serenity with today’s Groupon: for $40, you get a one-hour deep-tissue massage at Luminary (a $220 value).

Licensed massage therapists at Luminary help relieve and soothe inflamed muscles with deep-tissue massage therapy. During the one-hour treatment, massage mavens' expert hands soothe superficial muscles in order to reach underlying layers of flesh, where their deftly applied pressure can reduce inflammation-related soreness, injury-related discomfort, and clown-related emotional distress. Trained to comfortably untangle muscle knots, massage mavens adjust their pressure to each patient's preference to avoid causing unnecessary discomfort. As massages calm muscles, the walls of treatment rooms calm the eyes with earthy brown and green tones, soft lighting, and framed portraits of famous pillows.
