Wood Therapy

How Does Wood Therapy Work?

Understanding Wood Therapy

Wood therapy is a non-invasive body contouring and massage technique that uses specially designed wooden tools to help stimulate the body, improve circulation, and support lymphatic drainage.

The treatment is commonly used alongside body sculpting treatments such as:

• Fat Cavitation
• Radio Frequency (RF)
• Lymphatic drainage massage

to enhance overall contouring and sculpting results.

What Does Wood Therapy Help With?

Wood therapy may help:

• Stimulate lymphatic drainage
• Reduce fluid retention and bloating
• Improve circulation
• Support body contouring
• Improve the appearance of cellulite
• Help smooth and sculpt certain areas
• Encourage relaxation of tight muscles and fascia

It is commonly used on:

• Stomach
• Waist
• Thighs
• Arms
• Hips
• Bum/glutes
• Back

How Does Wood Therapy Work?

The treatment uses a range of wooden tools in different shapes and sizes to apply repetitive massage movements and pressure across the treatment area.

These movements help:

• Stimulate the lymphatic system
• Encourage drainage of excess fluid
• Increase circulation
• Break up tension within soft tissue
• Support contouring and sculpting effects

The treatment is designed to work alongside the body’s natural processes.

What Is The Lymphatic System?

The lymphatic system helps remove waste, toxins, and excess fluid from the body.

Wood therapy helps stimulate this system, which may help reduce feelings of:

• Puffiness
• Water retention
• Bloating

This is one reason hydration after treatment is extremely important.

What Does The Treatment Feel Like?

Wood therapy is a deep massage-style treatment.

Clients may experience:

• Firm pressure
• Rolling movements
• Temporary tenderness in some areas

Some areas can feel more sensitive depending on:

• Fluid retention
• Muscle tension
• Cellulite
• Individual sensitivity

Pressure can always be adjusted for comfort.

Is Bruising Normal?

Some clients may experience mild bruising or tenderness after treatment, particularly in areas with:

• Increased fluid retention
• Tight fascia
• Poor circulation
• Sensitivity

This is usually temporary and settles within a few days.

How Many Sessions Will I Need?

Some clients notice improvements after one session, such as:

• Reduced bloating
• Feeling lighter
• Smoother appearance

However, best results are usually achieved with a course of treatments combined with:

• Hydration
• Exercise
• Healthy eating
• Consistent sessions

Why Water Is Important After Treatment

Hydration is essential following wood therapy.

Drinking plenty of water helps support:

• Lymphatic drainage
• Removal of waste and excess fluid
• Circulation
• Overall treatment results

Clients are encouraged to drink at least 2–3 litres of water daily around treatment sessions.

Who Cannot Have Wood Therapy?

Treatment may not be suitable if you:

• Are pregnant
• Have severe varicose veins
• Have active infections
• Have blood clotting disorders
• Have open wounds or skin conditions
• Have certain medical conditions

A consultation is required before treatment to ensure suitability.

Important To Know

Results vary from person to person and no treatment can guarantee exact inch loss or cellulite reduction.

Wood therapy works best alongside a healthy lifestyle and consistent treatment plan.
