Wood Therapy, also known as Colombian body sculpting massage, is an intensive manual-mechanical technique performed with specially contoured wooden tools. The treatment works on the skin, subcutaneous tissue, musculature, and lymphatic system. It supports body contouring, improves tissue quality, and enhances lymphatic drainage.
This course presents Wood Therapy as a structured body treatment requiring a clear understanding of anatomy and tissue physiology, as well as intentional, controlled work with wooden instruments. The program covers tool selection, pressure control, pace and direction of movement, client qualification, and step-by-step execution of the massage in a professional setting.
