Quinta do Lago is a golf and training resort before it is a beach resort, and the bodies here show it. Three championship courses inside the estate, San Lorenzo next door, and a high performance centre at The Campus with padel courts, tennis courts and a running track. People do not come here to lie still.
That produces a particular set of problems. Golfers on their third or fourth round of the week with a lower back that has stopped rotating. Padel players at The Campus with an elbow that started as a niggle on Monday. Runners on the Ria Formosa boardwalks with calves and Achilles tendons that are not used to that much flat repetitive mileage.
Alex Cabrita treats all of it. He is a Remedial Massage Therapist with a Sports Science degree, trained in Sydney alongside physiotherapists, and one of very few full-body ART® certified practitioners in Portugal. He brings the table to your villa, which matters here because the estate is spread out and nobody wants to drive to Almancil mid-trip.
Golfers on the South, North and Laranjal
The South has real elevation change and the walk alone will find a tight hip. Lower back, lead shoulder and hip rotation, treated between rounds so you can play the next one.
Padel and tennis at The Campus
Padel elbow, shoulder impingement and wrist pain from the stop-start court work. Treated at the forearm and shoulder blade, not just at the sore point.
Runners and triathletes
The boardwalks and estate roads are flat and repetitive. Calves, Achilles, IT band and hip flexors, from someone who races triathlon himself.
Quinta do Lago residents
Ongoing work for chronic back and neck pain, desk posture and the stiffness that comes from a long season of golf.
A Complete Treatment, At Your Villa
Full Assessment
Every session starts by finding out why it hurts, not just where. For a golfer that usually means checking hip and thoracic rotation before anything is touched.
Tailored Treatment
Remedial massage, trigger point therapy, deep tissue work and ART® combined for your specific problem. A padel elbow and a golfer’s back get different sessions.
Aftercare Advice
Clear guidance on what to do before your next round or match, and what to stop doing. Useful if you are here for a week and playing most days.
Alex Cabrita
Remedial Massage Therapist · ART® Practitioner
Originally from the Algarve, Alex trained in Sydney and graduated top of his class. He spent years working alongside physiotherapists and sports medicine doctors in one of the city’s largest clinics before returning home.
He holds a BSc in Sports Science and is one of the few therapists in Portugal certified as a full-body Active Release Technique (ART)® practitioner, covering spine, upper limbs and lower limbs. He grew up competing in triathlon and still races, which is why athletes tend to find he speaks their language.

Book Clinic SessionWhat Quinta do Lago Clients Say
"I had been suffering from lower back pain for years and had tried everything. After just four sessions with Alex, I was pain-free for the first time in a decade. His knowledge and technique are exceptional."
"As a keen golfer, I was struggling with shoulder pain that was affecting my swing. Alex identified the root cause immediately and within a few weeks I was back to playing my best golf. Highly recommend."
Common Questions, Quinta do Lago
Do you come to villas inside the Quinta do Lago estate?
Yes. Alex travels to villas and apartments across the estate, including the Laranjal and San Lorenzo side. Tell me the gate and the villa reference when you book and give me the access arrangement, since several of the roads are gated.
Can you treat me between rounds?
Yes, and it is usually the best time. If you are playing again the next morning, a session the afternoon or evening before works better than waiting until the problem has stopped you playing. Same-day slots are sometimes available.
How much does a mobile massage in Quinta do Lago cost?
€140 per hour, including travel anywhere on the estate. There is no separate call-out fee.
I am training at The Campus. Can you work around a training block?
Yes. Tell me what you are training and when your hard sessions fall, and I will treat accordingly. Deep work the day before a hard session is rarely a good idea, and I will say so rather than take the booking.
What do you need set up in the villa?
About 2m by 3m of clear floor, ideally somewhere quiet and not freezing. Alex brings the table, towels and everything else. A bathroom nearby is useful but not essential.
