Let's be clear about what this is.
Masaje Calma is a therapeutic and sports massage practice. Every session begins with a short conversation about what hurts, when it started and what makes it worse — and then we work on it.
We do not offer spa packages, sensual massage or adult services of any kind. If that is what you are looking for, we are not the right place, and we would rather say so up front.
What we do offer is the thing that is genuinely hard to find here as a visitor: someone who can take a proper history in English, work deeply and safely, and tell you plainly what they found.
Travelling is hard on a body.
Long flights, unfamiliar beds, a heavy bag on one shoulder and twenty thousand steps a day. These are the complaints we see most often — if yours is not here, message us and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
- Stiffness after a long-haul flight
- Neck and shoulder pain from carrying bags
- Lower back locked up after hours sitting
- Legs and feet after days of walking
- Tension headaches
- Tight upper trapezius and neck
- Jaw tension and teeth grinding
- Pain or stiffness turning your head
- Lower back pain and overload
- Mid-back tightness from desk work
- Hip, glute and piriformis tension
- Discomfort travelling down the leg
- Training overload and heavy legs
- Recovery between sessions or races
- Old injuries that never fully settled
- Restricted range of motion, scar tissue
When to see a doctor first. Massage supports recovery, but it is not a diagnosis. If the pain began after a fall or a hard impact, comes with fever, or you notice loss of strength, persistent pins and needles or numbness in an arm or leg, see a doctor first. Once that is cleared, we can work on the recovery.
Two therapists, one way of working.
Gonzalo has nine years of clinical massage practice and is in his fourth year of osteopathy training. He speaks English, and runs the assessment and the session in English when you need it.
Tony works alongside him at the practice, sharing the same approach: understand the problem first, then treat it.
Sessions are 60 or 90 minutes. Ninety gives us room to work the whole body properly rather than chase one spot.
Simple, and told to you up front.
Therapeutic or sports massage in your hotel room or apartment, anywhere in the city.
Villa Ortúzar or Agronomía, both an easy ride from the centre.
Prices are in Argentine pesos — the same rates our local clients pay, no tourist markup. Cash or bank transfer. If you would rather pay in cash US dollars or euros, just ask and we will convert at the day’s rate.
Before your first session.
Do you speak English? +
Yes. Gonzalo speaks English, so you can describe what hurts and understand what is being done, in your own language. The assessment before the session is done in English too — which is usually the part that matters most.
Can you come to my hotel or apartment? +
Yes. We bring the table, towels and everything else. We cover Buenos Aires city and the northern suburbs. All you need is a quiet room.
Is this therapeutic, or a spa treatment? +
Strictly therapeutic and sports massage. Every session starts with a short assessment of what hurts and why. We do not offer spa, sensual or adult services of any kind.
How do I book? +
Send a WhatsApp message with your dates, where you are staying and what is bothering you. We confirm a time from there.
How do I pay? +
Cash or bank transfer, in Argentine pesos. If you prefer to pay in cash US dollars or euros, ask us and we will convert at the day’s rate.
Tell us what hurts. We'll tell you if we can help.
Message us in English with your dates and where you're staying. We answer quickly, and we'll be straight with you about whether a session makes sense.
