Massage Therapy for Surfers in Lagos, Portugal

Lagos is a mecca for surfers from around the world. With consistent swells, stunning beaches like Praia do Amado and Arrifana, and a vibrant surf culture, it’s no wonder that the Algarve is one of Europe's top surfing destinations.

But surfing, while exhilarating, is physically demanding. That’s where Le Dôme by Claire Stable comes in—offering therapeutic massage and bodywork tailored to surfers who want to perform better, prevent injury, and stay in the water longer.

Why Surfers Need Massage

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned surfer, the repetitive paddling, popping up, and twisting movements can place strain on the shoulders, lower back, neck, and hips. Long hours in the cold Atlantic water also lead to muscle fatigue and tension.

Massage therapy can help you:

  • Release muscle knots and chronic tension

  • Improve joint mobility and alignment

  • Enhance recovery between surf sessions

  • Reduce the risk of surf-related injuries

  • Balance energy and calm the nervous system
