Exploring Lanzarote often means long walks, coastal promenades and hours spent on your feet in warm temperatures. Looking after tired muscles can help visitors and residents stay comfortable and make the most of every day on the island.
Whether it is wandering through the streets of Puerto del Carmen, tackling one of Lanzarote’s scenic walking routes or simply spending a full day sightseeing, many visitors are surprised by just how much time they spend on their feet.
Combined with the island’s warm climate, those extra kilometres can leave legs feeling heavy, feet sore and muscles tight by the end of the day. While comfortable footwear and staying hydrated are important, taking time to recover can also make a noticeable difference, particularly for those who enjoy active holidays.
At Bodykinetik in Puerto del Carmen, massage therapist Francis Barbier-Martins offers personalised massage treatments designed around the individual rather than a fixed routine. Every session begins with a short assessment, allowing the treatment to be adapted to each person’s needs, whether the focus is on tired calves, tight hamstrings, aching feet or built-up tension elsewhere in the body.
Having trained in deep tissue, sports, Swedish, Thai and Lomi-Lomi massage techniques, Francis combines different approaches depending on what he finds during the treatment. Firm but appropriate pressure is applied where needed, balanced with techniques intended to encourage relaxation and relieve muscular tension.
Shorter appointments can concentrate on a specific problem area, making them suitable for people whose legs or feet need particular attention after a day of walking. Longer sessions allow more time to work on larger muscle groups or provide a full body treatment for those looking to unwind more completely.
Francis’ own background in cycling, diving, hiking and other sports has given him first-hand experience of how physical activity affects the body. His interest in massage therapy grew from seeking relief from recurring back pain, eventually leading him to qualify as a licensed massage therapist specialising in sports and wellness.
Based at Calle Reina Sofía 27 in Puerto del Carmen, Bodykinetik welcomes both residents and holidaymakers looking to restore comfort, ease muscular tension and continue enjoying everything Lanzarote has to offer, one step at a time.
