Origin of bamboo therapy
Originating in Japan, it was in 2003 in France that the physiotherapist Gil Amsallem, who was looking for accessories to help him in his massages, presented this technique at a congress, where he stated that the choice of bamboo was due to its soft and light texture. Thus, in the context of the spa, bamboo works as if it were an extension of the hands.
What is Bamboo Therapy?
Bamboo Therapy is a technique of French origin which combines the two benefits: aesthetics and well-being. It consists of the use of bamboo of different sizes. In addition to relaxation, the massage promises to reduce measurements and reshape the body.
The Bamboo Therapy technique is done with small bamboo rods of different sizes and its main difference is the intensity of the elimination of body fat, often more effective than lymphatic drainage. The technique is used as an auxiliary therapy for many treatments, due to the many benefits of this practice.
