💆‍♀️ Swedish Massage with Wood Therapy (Maderoterapia) Description

A treatment combining Swedish massage and Wood Therapy (also known as Maderoterapia) merges the deeply relaxing benefits of a classic massage with the targeted, body-contouring techniques of wooden tools.

Here is a breakdown of what this combined service typically entails:

1. The Swedish Massage Foundation (Relaxation and Circulation)

The session often begins with or incorporates elements of Swedish massage, which focuses on relaxation and improved circulation using five core strokes:

Effleurage (gliding/stroking): Long, sweeping strokes to warm up the muscle tissue and spread massage oil.

Petrissage (kneading): Lifting, rolling, and squeezing the muscles to release tension and encourage blood flow.

Friction: Deep, circular or linear rubbing to break up knots (adhesions) and warm the deeper tissues.

Tapotement (tapping/percussion): Rhythmic tapping or drumming to invigorate the body.

Vibration: Shaking movements to soothe and relax the muscles.

This initial phase helps to release general muscle tension, calm the nervous system, and prepare the body for the more intensive wood therapy.

2. The Wood Therapy Phase (Targeted Contouring)

Wood Therapy (Maderoterapia—from madera, the Spanish word for wood) is a technique that uses various anatomically designed, hand-held wooden tools. These tools allow the therapist to apply deep, consistent pressure to targeted areas.

Wood Therapy (Maderoterapia—from madera, the Spanish word for wood) is a technique that uses various anatomically designed, hand-held wooden tools. These tools allow the therapist to apply deep, consistent pressure to targeted areas.

During this phase, the therapist uses repetitive, firm movements with the wooden tools to:

Stimulate Lymphatic Drainage: Encourage the body to remove excess water, toxins, and waste products.

Address Cellulite and Fat: The firm pressure is purported to help break up fatty deposits and smooth the appearance of cellulite.

Contour the Body: Specific tools are used to "sculpt" or tone areas like the abdomen, thighs, and buttocks
