Wood therapy is an intensive manual-mechanical technique that uses specially shaped wooden tools to work with the skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscles, and the lymphatic system. The treatment supports body contouring, improves tissue quality, and stimulates lymphatic drainage.
This course presents wood therapy as a treatment that requires a solid understanding of anatomy and tissue physiology, as well as controlled and intentional work with wooden tools. It covers tool selection, pressure control, working rhythm, client qualification, and step-by-step guidance on performing the treatment in a professional setting.
