About the project
Lisbon Wellness is an independent editorial publication covering massage, spas, and wellness across Lisbon, Greater Lisbon, and destinations within roughly two hours by car — Sintra, Cascais, Ericeira, Arrábida, and the west coast.
Editorial mission
We publish practical, non-commercial guides for residents and expats: how to choose a therapist, navigate Portuguese spa etiquette, plan wellness weekends, and understand the boundary between relaxation massage and regulated physiotherapy.
Local context
Our editorial base is the Lisbon metropolitan area. We reference official Portuguese sources — the Ordem dos Fisioterapeutas, ERS, SNS 24 — when discussing health boundaries, and we ground travel content in real regional routes and booking norms.
Medical disclaimer
Content is informational only. It does not replace medical, physiotherapy, or other professional health advice. If you have acute pain, injury, fever, or worrying symptoms, contact a qualified clinician or SNS 24 (808 24 24 24).
