What is wood therapy?

The answer to this question is very simple. Wood therapy is a therapy that consists of the application of a massage through the use of different wooden objects. To be more specific, we can say that these wooden utensils come in different shapes and sizes, and their design allows them to adapt perfectly to the different areas of the body.

This therapy or massage can be used as a complement or main part of a relaxing massage, physiotherapy treatment, beauty treatment or reflexology treatment.

After this brief introduction you can imagine that this technique is completely natural and offers a wide range of benefits.

What benefits can it offer?

We say which ones it can offer because, depending on how it is applied, it will offer us some benefits or others.

  • It can reduce stress.
  • Can relieve contractures
  • Relieve or eliminate back, leg or neck pain.
  • Firming and toning the skin.
  • Modelling body contours.
  • It can even fight cellulite.
  • And also to reduce fat deposits.

These last four benefits are the ones we will talk more about in future posts. In the other benefits, wood therapy proves to be a good complement to both relaxing and decontracting massages.

Going a little deeper into what wood therapy is.

As we mentioned in the introduction, this massage, performed with wooden utensils, uses carefully crafted tools to adapt perfectly to each area of the body, and for each treatment. Although it is an intense and somewhat strong massage, most of the time it is not a very painful massage. This massage should not break capillaries.

Massage.

 When we talk about massage with wood therapy, we can say that is a vigorous massage, with remarkable bio-stimulating and reactive characteristics for the body, it can be performed on both localised and generalised areas.

The massage with wooden utensils is used physically and directly on different muscular portions of the body, its cylindrical shape facilitates its sliding to be able to reach any area, which, together with the manual execution of a variety of movements, becomes a special ritual of the cutaneous route.
