Warm Bamboo Massage

Is a Warm Bamboo Massage Right for Me? 

Stimulation of muscle tissue by the bamboo sticks is thought to relieve muscle tissue by dissipating the heat that results from a build-up of toxins and postural issues, much the same as what would occur through a sports massage, deep-tissue work or trigger-point therapy. Some clients describe a whole-body tingling sensation and a feeling or warmth and calmness following a Warm Bamboo treatment.

The body’s natural reaction to stress, be it physical, mental or emotional, is for muscle tissue to tense up; chronic muscular tension causes muscle tissue to shorten and become restricted which in turn leads to aching and sore muscles and decreased range of movement of joints. Warm Bamboo Massage can release these muscular restrictions, leaving your body feeling renewed and your mind calm.

What Is a Warm Bamboo Massage Like? 

You’ll feel relaxed from the moment you enter the room and lie down on the treatment table, the therapist will start by applying massage oil to get your skin ready for the bamboo. The actual bamboo sticks are heated to approximately 65 degrees and used in a gliding stroke action before moving onto a roller-like fashion to stretch and lengthen the muscle tissue to relieve your aches, pains and relieve your tension and stress.

This is an all-body treatment and massage, so your whole body will be treated, so expect to be bambooed from neck to toe. The ends of the bamboo sticks are used to act as pressure points on the soles of your feet and along your spine.

What should I wear?

Feel free to come and leave in whatever is comfortable for you, however, the warmed bamboo sticks need to contact your skin directly.

The therapist will then advise on which items of clothing you need to remove for the treatment, leave the room whilst you get changed and will give you towels with which to cover and drape yourself.

During the treatment your body will be fully draped and covered, and only the area of your body being worked on will be uncovered.
