What is a spa bamboo massage?
The spa bamboo massage is relatively new to spa service menus. This relaxing massage incorporates the use of warm bamboo sticks (hollow bamboo canes) in addition to sensuous oils. The warmth combined with the oils is sinfully delightful!
Benefits
The benefits of spa bamboo massage are in line with those of both the relaxing Swedish massage as well as the deep tissue therapy.
This massage technique emulates the Swedish because it is very relaxing, however, the therapist can easily use the bamboo sticks for additional pressure applied to specific areas. Therefore, this type of massage will improve circulation while reducing stress. Simultaneously, this delicious spa treatment will induce a state of peace and calm for the mind, body and spirit.
What to expect from a spa bamboo massage
This relaxing massage is generally available for either 50 or 80 minutes. Always ask about available options and indicate your preference when booking your massage.
The therapist will guide you to the room, providing instruction as to how to position yourself on the table. They will leave the room, allowing privacy for you to disrobe.
Volunteer any possible contraindications to your therapist prior to starting your massage.
When they return to the room, they will begin the massage using the warm bamboo sticks. Using the sticks in combination with their hands, they will incorporate warm oils as they work.
As they massage, you will notice the stress beginning to melt away. If you have target areas requiring more pressure, they will gently apply it to encourage muscle relaxation.
If you are familiar with the hot stone massage, you will notice a similarity between that spa treatment and bamboo massage. The warm bamboo sticks add heat that soothes the muscles, relaxing them deep down inside. This same concept is experienced with the hot stone spa treatment.
After your massage and how often to have a bamboo therapy
The spa bamboo massage is unique and different. It’s fun to try but may not become one of your consistent choices when booking your massage. Enjoy it as frequently as you wish, not exceeding five times a week.
As always, drink plenty of water after your massage. Take it easy the rest of the day, allowing your body to relax and the muscles to take a break from stressful activity.
