It’s been a stressful week. You and your friends are looking to get out and do some serious relaxing without spending too much cash in this tight economy. So what do you do? Might I suggest getting a massage?

A massage, you ask? It hardly sounds budget-friendly, though you’ll happily admit that in the realm of relaxation, massage is king. To that, I answer, The Healing Arts Massage and Wellness Center in Pacific Beach. Where else can you get a one-hour massage for only $45? Pick your preference – Swedish, sports, pregnancy, deep-tissue, they’re all just $45 for the hour. Sometimes, they even offer a package of three massages for an even better deal. At these prices, you can treat yourself monthly, or more. On top of that, their hours of operation are pretty impressive – 9 am – 10 pm seven days a week. They also have gift certificates available.

The only down-side can be location. Although Pacific Beach is a lively beach town with lots to see and do, parking can be hard to find and there can be a lot of traffic. So plan ahead and leave a little early for your appointment or go even earlier and take some time to window shop or hang out. The reward of relaxation will be worth it.
