We help active people reduce pain, restore mobility, and feel strong in their body again.
Whether you’re dealing with neck tension, shoulder restrictions, lower‑back pain, or recovering from training — you’ll leave moving better than you arrived.

What do we treat?

• Neck and upper‑back tension
• Lower‑back pain
• Shoulder mobility restrictions
• Hip + glute tightness
• Desk‑related pain
• Training overload or stiffness
• General loss of mobility

  • Postural Restriction

Each session combines clinical massage, mobility therapy, and targeted movement to get fast, lasting results.

I get it.

I’ve had 3 knee surgeries, 2 cranial fractures, 1 hospitalised coma and multiple fractured vertebrae leading to balance and vestibular issues.

I know what it feels like to live with pain, poor sleep, and the frustration of not being able to move freely or do the things I love.

Learning how to reduce that impact — and helping others do the same — has become my life’s work.

I decided to learn how to address my own body and have largely eliminated the restrictions my injuries presented.

Whether you’re managing an injury, dealing with chronic tension, improving performance, or simply want to feel comfortable in your body again, I understand — and I’d love to work with you.

Approach

I understand therapy as a collaborative process between therapist and client.

Together we work with your nervous system’s ability to heal itself & to re-evaluate imbalances, compensations or restrictions to return to your full movement potential.

Sessions combine:

Deep tissue massage

Fascial manipulation

Breathwork

Active release techniques

Take-home sequences, drills and practices to inform adaptation.

Each session is tailored to you on the day — your goals, your history, your body.

Who it’s for

  • Neck Pain

  • Back Pain

  • Shoulder Pain

  • Knee Pain

  • Posture

  • Gait analysis

  • Performance

  • Mobility

  • Migraines

  • Headaches

Not a spa.

A results clinic.

At Prehab.Lab we combine sports massage, rehab therapy and movement education to treat the cause — not just the symptoms.

You leave:
✅ looser
✅ stronger
✅ moving better
✅ with a plan

    I have never experienced a massage like the one I had with Laurie. I felt confident and super safe in his hands, and I released tension in ways I never thought possible.
    Honestly, I can’t recommend it enough. It was the best massage I have ever had, truly therapeutic and incredibly effective.

    Thank you, Laurie!

    If you are looking for the best massage therapist in Ericeira, you should see Laurie! I highly recommend the deep tissue massage — he really knows how to work into the fascia and release deep tension.

    I needed an instant relief of pain in my lower back, and was impressed by Laurie’s knowledge, doing an assessment of my body to find out which was the best approach for me not just to relieve the pain in that moment but also to insure that I had the tools to make improvements at home. I left the session with greater awareness of my body and habits and with the needed pain relief.

    I look forward to working again with Laurie to develop greater awareness and improve healthy lasting habits and to being stronger and healthier.

    You’re a magician! Been thinking about what you’ve said and trying to keep semi switch on through the day. My lower back pain is almost entirely gone. Still getting some nerve pain down my leg and a little stiff but making improvements for the first time!

    I visited Laurie whilst on a retreat at the Shanti Space in Lisbon. I’d expected to have a standard Sports Massage to address ongoing knee pain, which I’d visited several therapists regarding prior to this visit.

    I had previously been given varying information as to the source of the “injury”….. all of which was pretty much confounded by Laurie’s more thorough understanding of what was really occurring. As he put it “the knee is the victim but the villain is elsewhere”.

    Within one session he uncovered the source of the pain. He worked that area (and it was rather excruciating) but since that time the knee pain is gone. The cracking, the aching and sleepless nights gone with it. Not saying he worked a miracle but it was something close to!

About Laurie

Hi, I’m Laurie, a Remedial Soft Tissue Therapist with over a decade of experience working one-to-one with people of all ages and activity levels.

My approach is shaped as much by personal injury history as professional training.

I believe your body can change and improve at any stage — with the right support and attention.

I have been a practicing Soft Tissue Therapy since 2014 with advanced courses in movement & mobility, fascial organisation, NeuroMuscular activation and Closed Chain Biomechanics.

In 2014 I founded The Soft Tissue Centre in central London, where I worked with thousands of clients, from Hollywood actors, dancers and Olympic Team athletes to the elderly, those with chronic illness and just about anyone is pain.

My personal movement background is in Brazilian martial arts, which I have trained & taught internationally since 1998.

I am also a certified Strength and Conditioning Trainer

My mission is to facilitate people’s journeys to overcome their obstacles to long term, pain-free movement & vital longevity.

My guiding principle and wish for everyone is:

Thoughtless, Fearless Movement. To truly express yourself however you choose to do so.

Workshops, Retreats & Professional Education

Alongside 1–1 treatment, I teach in-person workshops supporting individuals & teams learn how to care for their bodies independently. for groups in studios, gyms and retreat settings.

Sessions combine mobility, manual techniques and clear, usable guidance participants can apply immediately — to improve posture, reduce pain and move more confidently day to day.

Workshops include:

• Mobility & posture workshops
• Injury prevention seminars
• Partner stretching sessions
• Hands-on education for therapists or coaches
• Retreat collaborations (massage, movement & recovery sessions)

If you run a studio, workplace, retreat or event and would like to host a session, I’d love to hear from you.

Available internationally.
