Warm Bamboo Massage
Known for its healing properties, this rather unusual holistic therapy works to calm and energise you from head to toe. Here at McKenzie Remedial Massage in Stockport we absolutely cannot get enough of this treatment! Nor can our clients who keep coming back for more.
Similar to every other form of massage, there are quite a few physical and mental benefits to the Bamboo Massage.
On a basic level it can produce a deep sense of relaxation and well-being, and help to reduce or eliminate the stress of everyday life and relieve muscle pain. Sounds good, right?
In addition to promoting overall good health, there are a few other ways that the Bamboo Massage can help with specific health problems, these include:
- Stimulating blood circulation
- Helping to relieve arthritic pain, particularly in the neck and shoulders
- Improving nervous system functions and sensory nerve perception
- Improving quality of sleep and helping insomnia
- Stimulating cellular activity to repair and nourish the skin
- Increasing joint and muscle flexibility
- Aiding with weight loss by breaking down fat cells
Finally, Hot Bamboo Massage encourages the body’s natural healing abilities as it releases endorphins, your body’s natural painkiller
Chinese, Indonesian, and Japanese cultures have always believed in the benefits held in the bamboo, such as life energy, prosperity, longevity, sexuality, and fertility. In China, stalks of bamboo still symbolise eternal youth, strength, prosperity, and peace. What may appear like a new practice, bamboo massage, has ancient origins.
The unique Bamboo massage incorporates warm bamboo sticks of different lengths and diameters to provide deep-tissue work.
It is believed that by stimulating the tissue, the bamboo has the ability to reduce the “sluggish state of the body,” by dissipating the heat resulting from an accumulation of toxins and poor circulation; some people who have undergone this practice have described these releases as a whole-body tingling or a warming sensation.
Bamboo massage can help with medical conditions such as:
- Arthritis due to the warming sensation and increasing the blood flow
- Back ache due to the stretching and rolling of the muscles and the heat from the bamboo sticks
- Increases joint and muscle flexibility
- Assists to remove lactic acid to reduce pain
- Respiratory problems due to the calming, relaxing nature of treatment that slows respiration
- Headaches/migraines as the treatment releases stress and tension
- Reactivates and stimulates blood circulation
- Can improve sleep quality and help
- Improves nervous system functions and sensory nerve perception
- Stimulates cellular activity to repair and intensely nourish the skin
- Breaks down and softens adhesions
Depending on patient needs, bamboo can also be combined with Remedial Massage or cupping therapy.
