Would not a Physiotherapist supply full info ?
I tried to source one in your immediate area but failed too.
Physiotherapy Clinics Portugal - Find a better Physiotherapist in Portugal
But this link may help if you go down that path.

If you're resident here in Portugal, I would recommend that you register with the Portuguese public health service, if you haven't already. Your GP will then take care of referring you for the necessary assessments to determine the appropriate treatment / rehab. There will be charges but very modest compared to going private on all of it.
