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.

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.

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.
