What is Wood Therapy?
Wood therapy is a vigorous massage technique that utilizes wooden, handheld tools, such as rolling pins and vacuum-suction cups. Purportedly, wood therapy is centuries old and originated in Asia.
The technique of wood therapy has seen a surge in popularity, primarily in South America, where people call it maderoterapia. Madera is Spanish for wood.
Purported benefit
Since wood therapy is a massage technique, it may be safe to assume that you will experience the benefits of a massage, such as relaxation and alleviation of tight muscles.
It may even reduce the appearance of cellulite. When done correctly, massage therapy can support lymphatic drainage, which may reduce cellulite’s appearance, at least temporarily.
Massage can also help stretch and elongate skin tissue, which may also make the skin appear smoother.
Other purported claims include:
-
increasing lymphatic circulation
-
reducing wrinkles
-
alleviating stress
-
providing a whole mixed bag of other benefits
