What is wood therapy?

It is considered a massage technique, during which different pieces made of wood with properties of resistance and durability are used, such as chestnut, beech or walnut.

It's used to relieve muscle and joint pain, improve fluid retention, leg nodules, and even stimulate collagen synthesis in the skin . For this reason, it's used on the face and body.

There are various tools for this treatment, such as the wooden Gua Sha. When you use it, applying a certain amount of pressure to different areas of the body, you'll notice its relaxing power.

In addition, it can be adapted to each person.

It doesn't matter if you frown a lot or have orange peel skin. If you work on each area, you can see improvement over time.

The origin of wood therapy: where does this curious technique come from?

Although wood therapy is fashionable and is a boom , it is not a modern technique, but it was already being done in the East thousands of years ago, specifically in China . It was first practiced for therapeutic purposes, to relieve muscle ailments.

It's part of traditional Chinese and Japanese medicine, where bamboo sticks were used to treat certain energy points, relieve pain, and improve circulation. This wood massage was considered a holistic technique for balancing energies and achieving physical and emotional well-being.

The ancient masters began experimenting with wooden tools, passing them over the body to treat various muscular ailments. However, although the technique worked, they found the tools heavy and unwieldy, which caused the practice to lose popularity over the years.

And you might wonder, how is it back centuries later? Because it resurfaced with force in Colombia at the end of the last century. But this time, with more manageable pieces.

They redesigned the parts to simplify them and make them more comfortable to use, better adapted to human anatomy.

With the emergence of Gua Sha tools, their benefits have multiplied, as they can be used not only for therapeutic purposes but also for aesthetic purposes.

It's recently arrived in Spain and is a concept that's causing a stir. Don't have your Gua Sha at home yet?
