Bamboo & Rattan Massage Now Offered at Seasons!
For centuries bamboo has been an essential part of everyday life throughout all of South East Asia. No one knows when the first use of bamboo tools were used to help tired muscles, but it was only natural that they would create massage tools our of the material that was abundant and signified luck, longevity, friendship, peace and harmony.
Bamboo and Rattan Massage Tools
Bamboo Massage uses a special set of beautifully crafted bamboo and rattan tools. They are natural with their coloration and texture so no two sets are exactly the same. The smooth surface of the bamboo feels good on the body of the client as well as in the hands of the therapist. It is not a rare occurrence for the client to mention they cannot tell the difference between the hands of the therapist and the bamboo tools.
There are specific tools designed to work on different parts of the body. They are to used to maximize leverage and gravity with sliding, rolling, kneading, pivoting, levering, tapping and friction techniques. Since these tools cover such a broad area at once, they are extremely effective on trouble areas such as neck, shoulders, back and legs.
Warm Bamboo
Before the bamboo is applied to the body, both the bamboo and rattan tools are heated to a moderately warm temperature. The application process of the warm bamboo melts away the tensions while creating a deeply relaxing and soothing experience. The rotation of the bamboo tools help to maintain the warm bamboo feel throughout the massage.
The use of bamboo and rattan tools levels the playing field between smaller therapist and larger deeply muscled clients. If a client request to work deeper into the muscles this can be addressed with the proper use of the tools while maintaining a natural feel of the client’s massage experience.
Enter into a subconscious bliss like none other. The health benefits of this unique massage include increased circulation, relief of sore muscles, and a deep state of relaxation. And besides, it just feels incredibly exquisite!
Important: This massage is not recommended for clients that have acute conditions of diabetes, osteoporosis, the elderly, children, or pregnant women. Those on pain medication, blood thinners, and have inflamation should also avoid it.
