Therapeutic massage in Porto, at home
Therapeutic massage in Porto is for someone who feels the body heavy from routine: raised shoulders, a tired back, a stiff neck. We come to your home or hotel in Gaia too. Women only.
We do not diagnose and we do not replace physiotherapy. The pressure is more present than in the resting session, always inside what you set. 30 minutes, €30. An hour, €50.
What the therapeutic massage is like
We stay longer on the areas you name. The pressure is firm and talked through. Where the body asks for time, the pace slows.
Beside the Relaxing massage, there is less of a drift toward sleep and more attention to one point. The Personalised ritual can include this work if you ask.
What you may notice
You may feel less tightness in the areas worked, and a pause while you are lying down. We do not correct posture and we do not treat injuries.
A sensitive area is worked around. The aim is comfort, not endurance.
- Attention to shoulders, neck, back or another area you name.
- Firm pressure, adjusted in the moment.
- A pause for someone who spends the day sitting or standing.
- No language of cure.

How we book, and how the hour goes
In the Book now or on Telegram (@ittzgaia), name the areas and say half an hour or an hour.
Before we begin, we confirm what hurts too much. During the session you can ask for lighter pressure. If something does not suit you, we stop there.
What to expect
There may be a brief warmth in the area worked. That is the usual response of the body to a more directed touch, not a treatment.
Silence is fine too. You do not need to explain the whole week.
Who it suits
For someone who has already tried a shower and the weight is still there. Also for someone in a hotel who would rather not go out.
If you mostly want to slow down, the Relaxing massage is simpler.

Questions
What is therapeutic massage?
More directed work on muscle tension, with firm pressure on the areas you name. It is not physiotherapy and it is not a diagnosis. We agree what to work and what to avoid.
What types of therapeutic massage are there?
There is no clinical menu here. We give more time to the back, neck, shoulders or legs, inside a wellbeing massage. We do not promise a cure.
Does it help with back and neck tension?
It can ease a feeling of stiffness in those areas. If the pain is strong or recent, speak with a health professional first. We do not treat injuries.
Is it the same as physiotherapy?
No. Physiotherapy is clinical care. This session is muscle wellbeing. For rehabilitation, see a physiotherapist.
Do you offer therapeutic massage near me?
Yes, if you are in Porto or Vila Nova de Gaia. We come to the home or the hotel. There is no studio to travel to.
Can I say which areas to avoid?
Yes. Mention injuries, scars or sensitive areas before we start. If something hurts in the wrong way, we stop.
How much does it cost?
€30 for 30 minutes and €50 for an hour, the same as the other sessions.
Is it suitable in pregnancy?
Only if you feel comfortable and, preferably, with your doctor’s agreement. Some positions and areas should stay out. Tell us the trimester when you book.
