Maderoterapia (Wood Therapy)

Maderoterapia (Wood Therapy)

Maderoterapia (Wood therapy) has been practiced for centuries originating in the oriental countries. In the 90s the country of Colombia perfected the tools to a smoother finish and developed unique technique for many kinds of therapies. They also gave the name Maderoterapia, since Madera means wood in Spanish. Maderoterapia became a worldwide synonym for Wood Therapy as a new, revolutionary massage technique. This new technique contours the body with wood tools to improve the body’s appearance and is used now as an alternative technique to the usual anti cellulite massage.

                                              

What is Wood Therapy?

Wood Therapy is an effortless and efficient way of contouring the body without harming the skin or tissue. The wood elements come in different sizes and shapes and each Wooden instrument has a specific use for a particular area of the body. Wood Therapy helps fight cellulite on the body leaving it silky and smooth. Wood Therapy will tone, reduce, mold, and eliminate stored fat in different parts of the body.

Wood Therapy intensifies the breakdown of fat and fibrous cellulite, so that it can be eliminated naturally with other toxins. This technique employs repetitive movements using different wooden instruments to manipulate targeted areas of muscle, fat and cellulite, stimulating the lymphatic drainage system to remove unnecessary water, fat and toxins from the body. A series of 10-15 treatments is necessary to achieve the desired results.

The technique employs a series of repetitive movements using more than a dozen different wooden implements.
