Bamboo Massage

Many therapists use tools during a massage. And why not? Frequently, the thumbs, wrists and forearms give up long before the spirit to end massage does. The problem is that the therapist usually can't palpate through tools. Plus, they are typically only room temperature, which feels cold to the client.

Enter bamboo tools. We heat them in a heating pad prior to the massage and rotate the use of the tools. This enables the bamboo to stay warm throughout the massage. Surprisingly, it's not terribly difficult to palpate through the fused bamboo sticks.

End result: the clients love the feeling of the massage as well as the results, and the therapist has given a super massage without hurting him/herself!

My website, www.AffinityMassages.com has more info about bamboo classes. Check out the Bamboo Classes tab.
