Massage therapy is among the best ways to achieve relaxation, on a par with listening to actor Ed Harris chant in whale song. Sink into serenity with today’s Groupon: for $32, you get a 60-minute deep-tissue, Swedish, prenatal, or sports massage at Omni Physical Therapy (a $65 value).

The professional massage therapists at Omni Physical Therapy adjust muscles with a variety of soothing modalities to ease chronic aches and recuperate from injuries. Body menders can draw on deep-tissue techniques to retool lower layers of musculature and fascia to unravel the sources of pain and swelling. Fingers and hands channel the long, Swedish-style strokes to gently stimulate surface-level tissue and send oxygenated blood rushing through the body, energizing clients and thrilling speed-obsessed hemoglobin. The prenatal massage employs custom bodywork techniques to encourage deep breathing and ease joint tension in expectant mothers. Therapists foster flexibility during sports massages with a combination of stretches and percussive fight-song tapping to improve athletic performance or recover after a strenuous event.
