Frequently asked questions
What is a bamboo massage?
A bamboo massage is a technique that incorporates bamboo stalks of different sizes to provide a deep tissue massage. The bamboo tools are used as an extension of a massage therapists’ fingers, thumbs, palms, and forearms. Bamboo can used while providing many massage techniques, including a Swedish massage and trigger point therapy.
Why is bamboo used?
Bamboo retains heat very well and gives massage therapists the ability to apply heat to your muscles. Heat relaxes the muscles and increases circulation when applied to the body. A heated bamboo massage allows us to penetrate your muscles more deeply, making the massage more effective and relaxing. Additionally, bamboo grows quickly and is easily renewable. It is very affordable and great for the environment.
Is the heat from the bamboo painful?
No, the bamboo sticks are only slightly heated. If the sticks are too hot on your skin, please let us know. The bamboo should not burn your skin and we want you to feel as comfortable as possible during your massage.
