What is a Bamboo Massage?
Benefits
-
Using special massage oils, the therapist rolls the stalks evenly over the muscles, which is warming and relaxing. Not only does this sooth sore muscles, but it also increases circulation and aids in providing a sense of deep relaxation. As a method of stress management, bamboo massage also can help with migraines, arthritis and respiratory problems.
Massage Style
-
The therapist begins at the feet and slowly moves up to the head. The therapist then turns around at the head and works back down to the opposite foot. Different size bamboo stalks are used for different muscles groups. The feet require a small 4-inch stalk, while thighs require a 16-inch stalk about 1 inch in diameter.
This is an escape to the warm tropical breezes of the islands. Using bamboo sets that are warmed, Bamboo massage is done with Swedish and deep tissue pressure. The Bamboo Massage is relaxing and soothing. The massage therapist calls upon Shiatsu acu-pressure techniques to woo guests into complete relaxation. After every muscle and tendon in the back is massaged, smooth bamboo shoots of various sizes are rolled back and forth furthering the relaxation. After the rolling motion, the result is an utter banishment of the body’s tension.
The deep penetrating effects of massage are a reprieve from the cold weather and serve to relieve muscle stress and release toxins from the body. Massage is beneficial in cool weather because it increases circulation and provides stress and pain relief. Call us at Spa in the City to make your fall massage appointment today (425) 948-7723.
