It’s a style of massage made famous in Brazil, often used in the treatment of stubborn fat and cellulite. The treatment uses firm pressure and deep movements to reach the deepest layers of skin in order to sculpt the body. This treatment can also be done with a Bamboo stick (Bamboo Therapy). The therapist will roll and lift the tissue to loosen connective tissue adhesions and drain excess fluids and toxins out of the body. Ironing out the bumps makes the skin look better right away and also reduces further accumulation. As toxins and fluid are drained out, fresh blood and oxygen flood the tissue, providing nutrients and collagen to strengthen the skin and smooth out the foundation over which fat cells lie. By promoting movement and lifting and rolling the tissue, this treatment helps slim out the cellulitic areas by allowing the fat deposits to be burnt during exercise and daily activities. Due to the deep movements, temporary bruises may occur. Some people also report an urge to urinate about an hour after treatment – this is because the lymphatic system has been stimulated and is a sign that the treatment is working. This treatment is not suitable for pregnant women, people with circulatory or vascular disease, blood clots, phlebitis or unexplained calf pain; infectious progressive diseases such as AIDS, on anticoagulant medication (e.g Coumadin, Warfarin), or any active cancer (especially skin cancer). We also recommend that anyone suffering from varicose veins, hernias or open sores abstain from this course of treatment.
