Our treatments in a Snapshot

Cryotherapy

Tailor your cold plunge experience, with adjustable temperature starting at 4°C, to match your recovery goals, specific needs, or overall well-being. The benefits extend far beyond just speeding up recovery and easing muscle soreness.

Infrared sauna

Here, you’ll have time to feel your muscles relax at temperatures between 45°C and 60°C. Pain and tension will be minimized as you let the soothing infrared heat penetrate deep into your body, promoting recovery, improving circulation, and leaving you feeling revitalized.

Traditional sauna

Let the intense heat relax your muscles and detoxify your body. Among its many benefits, the traditional sauna helps you reduce joint pain and improve circulation, playing a key role in sports recovery.

Contrast Therapy

The temperature contrast between the cold baths and the sauna triggers recovery by reducing inflammation and muscle pain, while boosting circulation and enhancing tissue oxygenation for optimal recovery and well-being.

Compression Therapy

Compression therapy will re-energize your body with a massage that stimulates your lymphatic and circulatory systems, reducing pain after intense physical exertion.

Mobility zone

To boost an active recovery, the mobility zone gives you the perfect space to warm up and stretch before or after your recovery session. You’ll also have access to various massage devices.

Effekt clients speak out

Luísa Calisto

This circuit experience at Effekt exceeded my expectations. From the guidance throughout the process, the friendliness of the team, to the quality of the equipment, I became a fan and will definitely repeat the experience."

António Carlos

"This was my first time trying any of the therapies during this initial session, and I loved everything, the staff's attention and availability throughout the process, as well as the entire treatment. Thank you so much. I'm a 100% fan!"

Rui Ferreira

"Warm welcome and excellent support! An indispensable service for physical recovery and health."

Rui Vieira

"Top! 5-star service! I felt recovered right away!! Light!! I loved it! And the service is spectacular!"

Thomas Vons

"Effekt team is 5 stars and the recovery circuit is top! I'm an athlete from Estoril Praia U14, and even though I don’t like the cold, one day I had such pain in my tendon and groin that I decided to try a recovery circuit. I was very well received by the staff, and they helped me with breathing techniques to make it easier to endure the 4-degree water. After two sessions, the pain was gone. Now, I just want to go back to Effekt. I really like the compression boots. Even though I don't have pain anymore, my respiratory problems (allergic rhinitis) have improved, and I can handle the cold better in general. I highly recommend it."

Joana Gordinho

"I highly recommend the experience! Cozy space and fantastic team! I tried it, became a fan, and now I go every week. Besides the physical benefits, I feel the psychological ones, and the sense of well-being after completing the circuit is immense. Super recommended."
