What is Wood Therapy, also known as Maderoterapia?
Maderoterapia, or Wood Therapy, is a holistic massage technique that uses vigorous, often repetitive movements with specially designed wooden tools (rolling pins, contour scrapers, and suction cups) in different sizes and shapes. Each wooden tool has a specific use for a particular area of the body.
Maderoterapia has many holistic uses, such as balancing energy and reducing stress. In recent years, people have used this therapy for its aesthetic benefits, as it can firm and contour the body, reduce wrinkles, eliminate localised fat, and fight cellulite.
Wood Therapy can be applied to the entire body for different purposes, but it is most often used for aesthetics.
Different wooden massage-like tools help break down fat and cellulite. The wooden instruments apply direct pressure to "problem areas" while naturally helping eliminate excess body fat.
This procedure uses anatomically sculpted wooden implements to improve body size and proportions while supporting overall health. This therapy helps redefine body contours, reduce cellulite and facilitate weight loss.
These instruments allow highly targeted pressure, which intensifies the breakdown of fat and fibrous cellulite so it can be eliminated naturally with other toxins.
It is based on an ancient wood-manipulation technique practised for centuries.
