Therapeutic Massage in Lisbon

Therapeutic massage is a hands-on technique focused on relieving muscle pain, tension and knots. The therapist assesses the areas with the most tension and adapts the pressure and techniques to your needs, working locally on the back, neck, shoulders, lower back or legs.

It is ideal for people who spend long hours sitting at a computer, do sport, have recurring pain or feel their body "locked up" by everyday stress.

What a session is like

1. Initial chat: we talk about where you feel pain, how long you have had it and what makes it worse, and whether you have any injury or health condition.
2. Assessing the tension: the therapist finds the most overloaded muscles and decides where to start.
3. Targeted work: we combine techniques such as deep pressure, friction and stretching, always with the pressure adjusted to what you can take.
4. Final advice: at the end, we give you a few simple tips on posture, stretching or how often to come.

Who does the massage

Therapeutic massages are done by Adrian, a massage therapist focused on pain relief and muscle recovery. Every session is tailored to the person: the same back pain may need a different approach for someone who works at a desk and someone who trains every day.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a therapeutic and a relaxing massage?

A therapeutic massage works locally on the areas with pain, tension or knots, with pressure adapted to relieving the problem. A relaxing massage uses gentler, flowing movements over the whole body, focused on rest and stress relief.

Does a therapeutic massage hurt?

You may feel some discomfort in the tightest areas, but it should never be unbearable. The pressure is adjusted during the session and you can ask for more or less at any time.

How many sessions will I need?

Many clients feel relief after the first session. For recurring pain or long-standing tension, several sessions 1 to 2 weeks apart are usually recommended. Pack 4 and Pack 10 help you save in these cases.

Which duration should I choose?

1 hour is enough to work on one or two areas, such as the back and neck. 1h30 or 2 hours give time to treat several areas calmly or to combine therapeutic work with a more relaxing part.

How late can I book?

We are open Tuesday to Sunday from 11 am to 11 pm and on Mondays from 7 pm to 11 pm, so it is easy to come after work. You can book online through Fresha.

Not recommended in case of fever, acute infections, open wounds or burns, contagious skin conditions, venous thrombosis, fractures or recent surgery.
