Wood Therapy Massage

Whether this is your first holistic therapy course or you are already an experienced practitioner of other holistic therapies, we will endeavour that you learn all you can about Wood Therapy Massage, also known as Wood Therapy Body Sculpting Massage or Maderoterpia, and finish the course feeling confident that you will be able to provide this relaxing therapy on your clients, friends and family.

Wood therapy is a vigorous massage technique that utilises wooden, handheld tools, such as rolling pins and vacuum-suction cups. Purportedly, wood therapy is centuries old and is believed to have originated in Asia. The technique of wood therapy has seen a surge in popularity, primarily in South America, Columbia where people call it Maderoterapia.

According to a review published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, this type of therapy has positive effects to relax the body and reduce various types of ailments. It is even an aid to calm stress, muscle and joint pain, circulatory difficulties, among other diseases.
In turn, cosmetic benefits are attributed to it, since it is believed that its regular application reduces the appearance of cellulite, scars and varicose veins. And although there is a lack of evidence about its effectiveness, today it has a very important place in the field of aesthetics, as it has the ability to firm and tone the body.

After completion of this class you will be asked to provide 10 case studies. You will only be awarded your certification after you have submitted these case studies and feedback has been given.

As with all of our physical and energy therapies, once you have completed the home study part of the class, before you begin your case studies, you are welcome to book a 'training day' in with us which will be held in Glastonbury, Somerset. The cost of this face-to-face training is free of charge and this is not a pre-requisite of completing the course. If you'd like further information on our training days or wish to book one with us, please do not hesitate to Contact Us.
