Warm Bamboo Massage uses smooth, heated bamboo tools as an extension of the therapist’s fingers, thumbs, palms, and forearms. The warm, smooth texture of the bamboo provides a comforting sensory stimulus that promotes deep relaxation and wellbeing. This sensory input helps engage the nervous system in a way that supports calming and reduces tension, enhancing the overall therapeutic effect.
Bamboo naturally retains heat well, enabling therapists to deliver soothing warmth alongside massage techniques such as Swedish, deep tissue, and relaxation massage—while protecting their joints from overuse and injury.
Though bamboo is technically a grass, the solid bamboo tools used in massage are crafted from compressed cross-sections of the bamboo stalk, shaped and sanded into various lengths and widths. Hollow bamboo sticks are cut and smoothed natural segments, ideal for rolling and gliding strokes.
This advanced one-day course is designed for qualified massage therapists looking to expand their skills with this unique and versatile modality.
