What is Bamboo Therapy?

Bamboo Therapy is an innovative way of providing a Swedish or deep tissue massage using warm bamboo to massage the skin and create an extreme sense of relaxation and well-being. It is also used as a powerful preventative therapy against stress and to help relieve many physical and emotional problems.

In addition to relieving stress and tension, bamboo therapy is also known to improve skin texture. The silica in bamboo extract helps your body absorb essential minerals such as potassium, calcium and magnesium.

Bamboo massage improves your skin tone.

It also offers anti-irritant properties that soothe the skin when applied directly through creams and lotions. Silica plays an important role in keeping skin and hair healthy. Apart from this, it can even relieve eczema and psoriasis. Bamboo extract contains antioxidants that help minimise wrinkles.

Bamboo Therapy Technique

A bamboo massage is usually performed with an organically treated hollow bamboo cane of different lengths and diameters, which is heated or used at room temperature. Longer sticks of various widths are used for sliding, while smaller tools can be used for more detailed work.

The bamboo cane replaces the therapist’s hand. It is able to give a deeper and firmer massage. The therapist holds the piece of bamboo and rolls it over the muscle with the same pressure and technique as they would use with their own hands.

Some massage therapists combine elements of Shiatsu, traditional Chinese, Thai and Indian techniques in the massage for best results.

The massage ensures circulation, sensory nerve awareness and provides a deep sense of relaxation and serenity. It helps to release tension and relieve knots.
