Bamboo Massage ...
unbelievable relaxation!

Bamboo massage uses bamboo stalks of various lengths, along with Swedish strokes and sometimes deep tissue pressure. Some therapists even incorporate Thai full body massage and lymph drainage techniques.

In many Asian cultures, bamboo still symbolizes youth, strength, and optimal health. Although very new to the American culture in spa and bodywork services, bamboo has been used as a primary tool for deep tissue work in other areas of the world for centuries.

Bamboo is renewable and grows quickly. It is found in many different forms in homes throughout the world in flooring, roofs, fabric, lampshades, and paper.

Now, bamboo is also being used as a massage tool.

Nathalie Cecilia, founder of Bamboo-fusion, has created this therapy which uses warmed bamboo tools to provide muscle release that the therapist's elbows, forearms and fingers usually provide.

Bamboo and rattan tools of varying shapes and sizes are used during massage.

Heating is done in a commercial grade heating pad, which makes them feel relaxing on the client’s body.

When she first started using bamboo, tools were made out of bamboo that Cecilia herself cut and finished.

It has now evolved into crafted bamboo that is easy to heat and clean. The tool is very portable, and is easy to use wherever you are providing massage therapy services.

Bamboo-fusion is easy to learn for use in any spa setting. It is also a nice tool for providing deep tissue work that is easier on the therapist and client.
