Why Massage Should Be Part of Your Wellness Retreat in Lagos, Algarve
A wellness retreat is an opportunity to pause, reset, and deeply care for yourself. Whether your retreat includes yoga, meditation, nutrition, or detox practices, there is one healing tool that should not be overlooked: massage therapy.
In Lagos, Algarve, wellness therapist Claire Stable offers personalized massage treatments, including Shiatsu and reflexology, as part of her integrative approach at Le Dôme—a center designed for holistic well-being. If you're planning a retreat in Portugal or attending one in the region, here’s why massage should be part of your healing journey.
How Massage Enhances Your Retreat Experience
A retreat is about releasing tension and reconnecting with your body and spirit. Massage enhances this process by:
Reducing muscle soreness from yoga or fitness sessions
Improving circulation and energy flow
Helping your body detox naturally through lymphatic stimulation
Encouraging emotional release through deep relaxation
Supporting better sleep, digestion, and hormonal balance
Massage can also create space for integration, helping you process emotions, experiences, and insights that often arise during a retreat.
