Wood Therapy Online Course with Theory, Step-by-Step Video Training, Quiz, and Certificate.
Wood therapy, also known as maderotherapy, is an advanced manual and tool-based body treatment that uses specialized wooden instruments to mechanically stimulate the skin, subcutaneous tissue, fascia, and superficial layers of adipose tissue.
The therapy is based on controlled mechanical stimulation of tissues, supporting microcirculation, improving lymphatic flow, and enhancing cellular metabolism. Appropriately selected techniques help improve skin tone, increase tissue elasticity, and support body contouring.
During the treatment, various types of wooden tools are used, with shapes and application methods designed to target specific tissue layers. This mechanical stimulation supports lymphatic drainage, reduces interstitial fluid retention, and improves blood circulation and tissue nourishment.
The treatment helps improve skin firmness and elasticity, reduce the appearance of cellulite and swelling, smooth body contours, enhance tissue tone, and progressively improve body shape with regular sessions.
We're currently updating this course to provide an even better learning experience. The new version will be available on August 17. We look forward to welcoming you back then!
