Uptight shoulders went untreated more frequently in the ’80s because they eliminated the need for shoulder pads. Embrace current trends with open, relaxed arms with today’s Groupon: for $50, you get a one-hour massage and a 30-minute infrared-sauna session (a $100 value) at Touch of Palms, located in I’On Square in Mount Pleasant.

Muscle muse Krista Elwood at Touch of Palms tames tension and eases aches with an array of wellness services that leave clients feeling rejuvenated and ready to resume normal limbo-contest activities. In the private 30-minute Carbon Wave 360 sauna session, infrared rays cleanse toxins from the skin and muscles, potentially relieving inflammation and boosting the immune system (a $20 value). Afterward, wellness-seekers can choose from one of two 60-minute massages to loosen limbs and whisk away worries about buying the wrong cake for the boss’s pet iguana’s birthday party (an $80 value each). The deep-tissue massage uses slow strokes and deep pressure to soothe soreness and release areas of pain. Its gentler cousin, the Swedish massage, uses long, flowing strokes for overall relaxation, stress reduction, and enhanced circulation.
