Seven days · Monte da Orada, Portugal · October
Chronic Pain Relief Retreat
A focused approach to reducing chronic pain and restoring movement.
Seven transformative days at Monte da Orada Retreat Centre in Odemira, southern Portugal.
Personalised treatment with Hazem, a Chronic Pain Relief and Movement Rehabilitation Specialist with a sports background, 30 years of hands-on experience and thousands of clients treated.
A different approach
If chronic pain has not responded to what you have tried, it may be time for a different approach.
Persistent pain can restrict movement, disturb sleep, reduce energy and gradually remove the activities you normally enjoy.
You may have lived with pain for months or years and already tried massage, physiotherapy, medication, exercise or other treatments without sufficient improvement. This retreat provides time for a focused, individual assessment and treatment process.
The approach
Pain is not always located where the physical problem began.
Muscular tension, restricted joints, old injuries, compensatory movement patterns, postural imbalances, prolonged sitting and frequent technology use may all contribute. Hazem assesses movement restrictions and adapts every session to the individual.
Many clients experience meaningful improvements in pain, mobility and range of motion, sometimes from the first treatment. The extent and speed of improvement depend on the individual condition, its underlying cause and medical history.
Personalised treatment
Up to five sessions. One individual treatment plan.
- Initial pain and movement assessment
- Identification of tension and restricted movement patterns
- Individual manual treatment and assisted stretching
- Targeted exercises
- Guidance for maintaining progress
This is not a general wellness massage programme. Every session has a specific focus based on your pain, movement restrictions and response to treatment.

Who it is for
For people living with persistent pain or restricted movement.
It does not matter whether your pain began recently or has affected you for many years. What matters is whether Hazem’s approach is appropriate for your individual condition.
Before participation is confirmed
Speak with Hazem before you book.
Every prospective participant has a personal consultation. Hazem asks about the location and intensity of pain, duration, restricted movements, previous injuries and treatments, relevant medical history and your goals.
This conversation is used to assess whether the retreat and treatment approach are suitable. Submitting an application does not guarantee acceptance.
