Expert Advice: Discover the Power of Wood Therapy

Tea Jaksic explains the ancient technique of Maderotherapy, that shapes the body and can help eliminate women’s worst enemy – cellulite!

Being a woman comes with pros and cons, and one of the cons is definitely having cellulite. That shouldn't be a problem for your clients anymore if you embrace the technique of Wood Therapy.

In the sea of body shaping and anti-cellulite treatments, Wood Therapy, aka Maderotherapy, is a real refreshment. Not just because it's completely natural, but also non-invasive and a pain-free approach to body and face massage that relaxes, sculpts and supports post-surgery recovery. 

It was around 1000 B.C.E. that the ancient Japanese and Chinese used the first wooden tools for the purpose to massage. Since then, Wood Therapy has become one of the most popular body and face shaping techniques in Colombia and Latin America, spreading across Europe. 

Still relatively new in the UK and Ireland, this holistic massage technique is based on the use of specially designed wooden tools in different shapes and sizes that assist with lymphatic drainage. 

Maderotherapy is based on the use of specially designed wooden tools in different shapes and sizes that assist with lymphatic drainage.
Fast and vigorous movements penetrate deep into the hypodermis, detaching fat cells from the muscle and eliminating them from the body through the lymphatic system. For smoother skin, body toning and the treatment of cellulite, only massage will make this happen. Fascinating, is it not? 

Pretty much the same happens with face shaping and double chin elimination. 

Additionally, slow and smooth movements applied to the body deliver a perfectly relaxing treatment, even if clients aren't looking for body shaping results. 

And there's more; Wood Therapy has become one of the most natural post-surgery recovery therapies for treatments such as liposuction or tummy tucks, effectively reducing swelling, bruising, pain and stiffness. 

At the same time this amazing treatment prevents or treats fibrosis and seroma which are the most common contraindications after surgery. It generally speeds up the recovery process giving the body its final touch – shape! 

Therefore, it's not surprising that even the famous use this effective treatment as a secret weapon against cellulite. In 2021, Naomi Campbell shared all that goes into her perfectly smooth, mile-long legs; and one of the treatments was Wood Therapy. Last summer, Tracee Ellis Ross sent Wood Therapy viral when she posted a video on her Instagram feed practicing Wood Therapy on her body.

So, if celebrities have already discovered wood therapy – it's a matter of time before every other woman does the same.
