Massage was developed by NASA to help astronauts cope with edgy Tang-induced sugar highs, lack of ESPN, and predatory aliens stowed away in the hangar bay. Achieve its soothing effects outside the soul-crushing abyss of outer space with today’s deal: for $37 you get a mini-Oasis getaway (a $75 value) at Oasis Day Spa on Watts Road.

For 12 years, Oasis Day Spa has offered massage and spa services to the beleaguered public. The 90-minute mini-Oasis getaway begins with a half-hour massage, which will relax muscles, improve circulation, and launch clients on a mind-bending pleasure quest through the 63-moon retinue of Jupiter. If the massage hasn't left the body as limp as a blobfish, the client will then sit atop a pedicure throne like a divinely ordained spa monarch while registered estheticians pamper the lower paws with a fancy foot treatment that includes a foot soak, scrub, buff, and massage with Bioelements skin care products. The getaway culminates with sparkling wine in a private, candlelit whirlpool with jets so soothing they feel like they’re powered by imported pygmy elephants.

Whatever stresses have been building in your sensitive connective tissues, a visit with the friendly professionals at Oasis is sure to aid what ails. On-site childcare is available for $10 and includes a room full of toys and activities with the childcare professionals of the Princeton Club. Pamper yourself or surprise your partner with a getaway for themselves as an anniversary gift, Valentine's Day present, or in recognition of National Pet Oral Health Care Month.

• My boyfriend and I shared a couples massage and hot tub experience on Friday, December 18th and it was AWESOME! He was a bit reserved at first when he was told that his massage would be with a man but was extremely pleased when we were done. – Lori, Yahoo Local
• They always make me really relaxed and comfortable. – lisa t., Insider Pages
