Maderoterapia or wood therapy was developed in the East thousands of years ago and is a holistic massage technique with specially designed wooden tools that come in different sizes and shapes. Each tool has a specific use for a particular area of the body. Maderoterapia balances energy, reduces stress and provides a great feeling of well-being. It can also be used to combat cellulite and release and strengthen fascia. The therapy is prevalent in South America, most notably in Colombia, where the techniques have evolved into the ritual that is practiced today.
