Having sore muscles, like signing a five-year lease or wearing lead socks, makes it difficult to move. Evict tensely wound tenants with today's Groupon: for $34, you get a 60-minute massage at Midtown Massage Studio (a $70 value).

Midtown Massage Studio’s licensed muscle manipulators employ nine massage techniques. Relish the long, flowing, and muscle-comforting strokes of a Swedish massage, or permit the trained therapist to enlist localized pressure, brute strength, and chainmail gloves to pummel chronic pain with a deep-tissue massage. Muscular tissue receives specialized attention with a myofascial-release session, which is designed to relieve stress from all connective tissue in the body. For an additional charge, clients can indulge in massage upgrades, such as a hot-stone massage ($25 extra) or bamboo massage ($15 extra).
