Wood Therapy

Wood therapy is a vigorous massage technique that utilizes wooden, handheld tools, such as rolling pins and vacuum-suction cups. Purportedly, wood therapy is centuries old and originated in Asia.

The technique of wood therapy has seen a surge in popularity, primarily in South America, where people call it maderoterapia. Madera is Spanish for wood.

Practitioners of this technique claim that it can reduce or eliminate cellulite.

Other purported claims include:

  • increasing lymphatic circulation
  • reducing wrinkles
  • alleviating stress
  • providing a whole mixed bag of other benefits
