Bamboo massage works very similar to that of a traditional massage, in which the knots, stresses and stiffness in the body is relieved through the application of pressure to loosen the knots, relax the stiffness and relieve pain. However, in a bamboo massage, bamboo stalks are used instead of hands. Not only does the bamboo cane help massage the deeper layers of the muscles, loosening the knots better than simply using the hands, the bamboo itself is believed to have medicinal properties, helping to relieve various stress related as well as respiratory ailments.
Bamboo sticks are used by rolling them over the body and kneading the muscles simply by running the sticks up and down, clearing blockages and stimulating the flow of chi. The sticks used can be of varying sizes, depending on the part of the body they are being used on.
The bamboo that is used in bamboo massage is usually made of natural organic bamboo, with its insides hollow. Usually, the bamboo used is at room temperature. However, in order to intensify the massage, the bamboo is sometimes heated to slightly higher temperature to facilitate the massage into the deeper layers of the muscle.
Bamboo massage feels very similar to any other type of massage, with its effects varying from person to person. Some people feel extremely relaxed, calm and pain free after a massage, while others feel extremely energized and revitalized. Whatever the result, most people feel much better both in body as well as mind after one of these massages.
