At Tree of Life Massage, muscle mender Sunrise Gervais harnesses heat and ancient techniques to dislodge deep-seated pains in a hot-stone or deep-tissue massage. Throughout the hot-stone session, Sunrise melts away pains with basalt stones, whose warmth or cold adds or draws out heat to relax the body and clear the mind of memorized radio jingles. Guests rest atop a plush bed as the massage maven targets chakras and meridians, freeing up nervous-system traffic jams and treating illnesses such as osteoarthritis, stress, and poor circulation. With his fists, knuckles, and elbows, Sunrise challenges muscular pain to a no-holds-barred grudge match during the deep-tissue massage, wrestling them into submission with trigger-point therapy. Direct pressure on the deep layers of muscle helps allay pain and inflammation associated with arthritis and tendonitis. Inside Tree of Life Massage’s office, eyes feast on the walls’ ochre hues and calming artwork while bodies shed tension and roundhouse kick stress in its face.

Though Tree of Life Massage sometimes features discounts online, this Groupon still offers the best deal available.
