Workshop

In this 8 hour workshop,
you will learn & receive 
a full body, deep tissue,
 Warm Bamboo & Gua Sha Massage Routine,
confident to take to your massage practice
 the following day.


Bamboo Massage is becoming the most preferred deep tissue and relaxation technique in the massage industry since Hot Stone. This wonderful luxurious full body treatment uses warm bamboo and/or rattan tools designed
for relaxation or deep tissue work.


The bamboo cane replaces the therapist's hands and is able to give a deeper, firmer massage.
The cane is rolled or compressed over the muscle with the same strokes they would normally use with their hands.
​All massage techniques and modalities can incorporate the use of bamboo/rattan canes.


This technique works in a very similar way
to hot stone massage.
The tools are heated using heating pads
or a hot towel cabi/warmer.
Though, it is not necessary to heat them
and when the weather is warm,
clients may prefer them room temperature.


 As the therapist is not using their hands as much, this has added benefit of less stress
to the practitioner's hands, wrists,
arms and shoulders.

You will also learn how to perform
​gua sha & gua sha massage
with your tools. 
​
Gua sha is a traditional Chinese medical treatment in which the skin is scraped
using a flat edged tool 
releasing
​ unhealthy elements which
stimulates blood flow and healing.
