Wood therapy is a body therapy that uses specialised wooden tools: ridged rollers, cups and shaped paddles. Each one is designed for a different area and a different kind of stroke.
How it works
Your therapist uses the tools in firm, rhythmic sequences across the area being treated. The aim is to work the tissue, encourage circulation and lymphatic flow, and support a more sculpted, defined appearance.
What a session feels like
- The pressure is firmer than a relaxation massage. Tell your therapist if you would like it lighter.
- The rolling and pressing sequences have a steady rhythm that many clients find energising.
- Your skin may look a little flushed straight afterwards. This settles quickly.
Getting the best from it
Like most sculpting treatments, wood therapy works best as part of a regular routine. It pairs well with lymphatic drainage, and is included in our Signature Transformation programme. We offer 60 and 90 minute Wood Therapy Sculpt sessions.
