Terra Heal

I agree wholeheartedly with the last review. I was having trouble finding a massage therapist of any kind here in Lisbon until I found Zorita through Unilocal.She came to our apartment, and did one of the most thorough massages I have ever had. Really helpful, and she found all the places that I didn’t even know were sore. She says that massage therapy is not a part of Portuguese culture (she’s from Bulgaria originally, and studied Thai and Japanese massage therapies), so most of her clients are foreigners (like us).
I recommend her highly, and will try to get another massage before leaving Lisbon. She knows her stuff! And very reasonable rates.

I didn’t expect to enjoy a good massage in Portugal, but to my surprise found a most competent massage therapist here! And even more surprising, in a little tent in the Martin Monez sqaure!
I have had some pain in my elbow. In the past when I mentioned this at a massage session, often the complain got ignored and at best I got a couple extra minutes of massage in that area. Here, the lady, Sorita, starts the session by asking you where you have aches and pains, and focuses her time on them. She just doesn’t massage that area. She feels around several spots, asks me if it hurts, and massage along the tendons/​muscles. Only the best therapists has the depth of understanding about anatomy to know that sometimes pains in hands, elbows and legs originate in pinched nerves along spine and torso, and know how to fix the issue at its origin. Sorita is one of those rare few, and she tailors each session to the need of the clients, and offers them tips on how to reduce the pain in future. As she is popular, and the massage is in an open tent with no privacy, I get to observe her working on others.
Also, she works my spine so good; crack, snap, pop, and i feel so much better for days afterwards! The massage was just 20 min but did more good than most hour-​long massage.
Sorita does Thai style massage on a mat on the floor. For chair massage, Luis is great.
It’s outdoors under a tent, music from nearby bands or cafes may not qualify as calm and tranquil, but the price (€ 10 for 20 min, € 30 for an hour) and the amazingly skillful therapists make it a five star experience. Trust me, you need this massage!
