Warm Bamboo Massage

Warm bamboo massage is a therapeutic massage technique that uses heated bamboo sticks to work deeper than hands alone, in combination with Swedish or Deep tissue techniques, to eliminate muscle knots. It does this by using warm bamboo sticks to knead the tissues like bread dough thus lengthening and broadening muscles. Instead of beating muscles into submission, the tools gently and respectfully soften them for optimal relaxation.

Technique and Benefits
Bamboo sticks are heated in a heating bag until appropriate temperature. The warmth relaxes cold muscles and allows the therapist to use the sticks to address the affected area sooner.
Since the muscles immediately react to the heat, they relax quicker and the massage is more effective. This massage produces a “muscle melting” sensation. The tools deeply knead the muscles to quickly dissipate tension and eliminate knots and congestion. The various shapes and sizes of the sticks offer unique tools that can fit into awkward parts of the body (i.e. neck and back) that need massage work and not put much strain on a therapist’s hands. During your Warm Bamboo massage session, your therapist will consult with you to understand your preferences and any specific areas of concern.
The benefits of Warm Bamboo stick massage are more effective massage, more relaxation, increased blood circulation, increased range of motion and flexibility and improved posture.
