Warm Bamboo Massage Therapy is the latest treatment to take the West by storm. Its  surge in popularity is down to the effectiveness and appeal of the treatment. Unique, highly beneficial and fun to give as well as receive – no wonder it is so appealing to both the therapists and the clients!

What is warm bamboo massage?

Warm bamboo massage is very versatile – you can apply it to the whole body including the face. It involves the use of warmed bamboo tools of varying lengths and diameter to roll, knead and relax muscles with numerous deep tissue and acupressure techniques. While increasing the circulation and improving lymphatic drainage it eases the sore muscles and promotes relaxation. Furthermore, the skin is left silky, nourished and restored.

It can be carried out on a massage table or seated making it a flexible as well as portable treatment suitable even for mobile therapists. The equipment is light and easy to carry and the bamboo tools are easy to heat up.

More Information

The Warm Bamboo Massage workshop will be largely practical in content and as a result, you will need appropriate clinic workwear for the duration of the course. Bamboo sticks and heating equipment will be available for use in class. This is very much a hands-on day allowing sufficient time to practice and perform the techniques under the guidance of the tutor. During the course you will partner up with another therapist and will get the chance to perform the techniques taught as well as being the recipient. This is because understanding what the technique should feel like is an invaluable tool for you as a therapist.
