A therapeutic massage requires a certain degree of manipulation, similar to strategies put forth by pool sharks, demanding girlfriends, and well-oiled wrestlers. Shamelessly unwind muscles with today's Groupon: for $30, you get a 60-minute massage at Power Within Chiropractic in Hastings (a $60 value).

Power Within Chiropractic staffs a local team of board-certified and licensed professionals who assuage bodies and backs with a range of stress-relieving services. During a 60-minute relaxation massage, a nimble-fingered therapist uses Swedish techniques and a light- to medium-pressured knead to stimulate the lymphatic system, relieve physical tension, and melt stress into a puddle of biodegradable papier-mâché. In addition to sufficiently sedating minds and limbs, a therapy session bolsters fluidity of blood flow while diminishing chronic pain caused by prolonged exposure to early '90s fashions. The light stroke tactics are optimal for mommies-to-be and those seeking a serene meltdown without the added pressure applied by deep-tissue digging.
