Wood Therapy In Progress

If you’re even remotely plugged into the health and wellness scene, then you’ve probably seen wood therapy and wood massage being put forward as a holistic and non-intrusive treatment that can create great results for clients. This form of massage is said to have a few different benefits for your body and is a great way to enjoy a variety of health boosts without the need for costly, time-consuming surgery or complicated technology.

Bimini Body offers wood therapy as a treatment to help make you look more sculpted and feel lighter and more confident in your skin. When combined with our other highly advanced services, wood therapy can help drain excess fluid from your body, reduce the look of cellulite, and loosen and relax your tight muscles.

Wood Therapy: The Rundown

Wood therapy is a form of massage that uses rollers and utensils made from smooth, polished wood. Using pressure and movement, these tools are used in areas of the body like the legs, back, stomach, glutes and arms to stimulate the flow of your lymphatic system to remove toxins from your body and decrease inflammation.

As a form of intensive massage, wood therapy can also loosen the stiff muscles in your body and assist with recovery after exercise. It can alleviate pain from tense muscles in the neck and back that you may have from long periods of standing or sitting, too.

Wood therapy creates noticeable changes after one treatment, but for more noticeable results, a few sessions may be required. How many you need will depend on what kind of outcomes you are looking for, as well as how you personally respond to the treatment.

The Tools Used in Wood Therapy

Tools Used In Wood Therapy

As indicated by the name, wood therapy uses a variety of differently-shaped tools to massage the body, all made from wood. These tools include:

  • Rollers: Shaped similarly to the traditional rolling pin, these rollers have smooth handles and a textured centre roller that moves independently as it travels across the skin. It delivers gentle, even pressure along the muscles that can relieve tension and help you relax.
  • Cups: Smooth, wooden cups can glide across your body or provide suction where needed. They can help improve your circulation and detoxification, as well as reducing the look of cellulite.
  • Scrapers: These curved tools are gently scraped along the surface of the skin to exfoliate and release toxins. They can be used on more delicate parts of the body, like the face and neck.

Wood therapy massage tools should never be cracked or splintered, as this can cause them to scratch your body when used. Wood therapy tools are kept in good condition with regular cleaning and oiling that keeps them smooth and allows them to provide an organic, warm feel when used on the skin.

The Benefits of Wood Therapy

Now that we know what wood therapy is, let’s discuss a few of the reasons we love it so much at Bimini Body.

Assists with Lymphatic Drainage

Your lymphatic system is responsible for moving the excess fluids and toxins in your body towards your lymph nodes, which will then return them to the heart and the cardiovascular system. Wood therapy massage can help promote lymphatic drainage by manually encouraging the lymph nodes to drain using gentle pressure and circular movements.

Besides the obvious health benefits of lymphatic drainage, this technique can also reduce swelling in your body, whether from bloating or just fluid retention. This can make you look and feel more toned and sculpted, boosting your confidence even after just one treatment!

If you need lymphatic drainage in Melbourne, Bimini Body can help! As leaders in lymphatic massage in Melbourne, our team can help you look and feel rejuvenated and healthy.

Can Reduce the Appearance of Cellulite

When combined with other treatments at Bimini Body, such as those offered using our Accent Prime technology, wood therapy can assist in reducing the look and presence of cellulite.

Cellulite forms when the fat deposits under our skin push up against the connective tissue above them, creating a latticed effect that increases when we sit or bend and creates a dimpled appearance, which is often seen in the thighs, buttocks, abdomen and upper arms. 

At Bimini Body, we use LIPOCEL technology that targets cellulite deposits under the skin using ultrasound technology. When this fat breaks down, massage using wood therapy can help encourage your lymphatic system to carry the fat away.

Wood therapy on its own can also help lessen the appearance of cellulite by temporarily plumping your skin, giving you firm, glowing skin that is smooth and toned.

Relieve Tension and Promote Relaxation

Like any high-quality massage, wood therapy can help relax your body by loosening tight muscles and knots using targeted massage techniques. Whether it’s after strenuous exercise or just a long day sitting at your desk, tight muscles can make you feel sore, stiff and even cause other conditions like headaches. That’s why a quality wood therapy massage can do so much to get back to feeling your best.

The tools used for wood therapy are smooth and dense, with many enjoying the organic look and feel of them on their skin. No matter the type of treatment you have it for, wood therapy will leave you feeling relaxed, toned and refreshed. As your experts in wood therapy in Melbourne, Bimini Body is ready to provide you with a customised treatment to meet your needs.

What Other Treatments Can Wood Therapy Complement?

Wood Therapy

Wood therapy can be combined with other types of treatments for more effective results. Here is an example of how this can work:

  • LIPOCEL: As we discussed above, LIPOCEL treatment uses ultrasound technology to heat and destroy subcutaneous fat that sits below your skin, like cellulite. This amazing treatment won’t damage the skin or muscle around the targeted fat either! Your body will naturally process and then remove the destroyed fat, and wood therapy massage can help speed up this process.

The team at Bimini Body can use wood therapy to complement any of your fat-removal treatments–get in touch to find out how!
