It is the treatment of the moment because it fights cellulite, eliminates stagnant liquids and dissolves stress and fatigue. It is practiced by sliding bamboo poles of different lengths and diameters, previously heated and filled, onto the body, and has immediate and profound effects on fatigue, water retention, swelling and lymphatic blocks. How does it work? We asked Walter Zanca, teacher and expert in holistic disciplines, founder of the Milanese center Alma Matters. The therapist studied this technique in Thailand, precisely where the practice was born (together with China) and spread ten to fifteen years ago.
It lasts about an hour and gives evident and immediate results already at the first meeting, but for an optimal result we recommend 4 or 5 sessions.
What are the benefits?
“When the bamboo cane (smoothed, filled and heated) is rubbed on the legs, large quantities of liquids are conveyed towards the lymphatic drains, with a movement from the bottom up (from the ankles to the thighs and the upper part ). The massage is carried out on the whole body because the lymphatic discharges are also in the armpits: in this way it works on the entire lymphatic and circulatory system. Thanks to this mechanical gesture, in fact, yes sculpts the whole body, from the ankles to the thighs, up to the waistline, with evident results from the first session. Cellulite improves a lot and you can even see the difference from one leg to the other: the treated one is much more deflated, lighter and thinner than the other. I invite women to measure themselves before the treatment to see the difference!
It is also a great massage diuretic, so much so that during the treatment itself it is often necessary to stop at least a couple of times to go to the bathroom. Even in the following days it is normal to have abundant diuresis, precisely because of the massage stimulates lymphatic and venous circulation.
Bringing the blood back up, then, allows you to regain the charge. It also helps relax the contracted muscles both of those who go to the gym or those who have assumed wrong postures, perhaps working in smart working.
Finally, it is so relaxing that most people who receive it fall asleep! So much so that practiced in the evening, favors own the sweet sleep and is a method against insomnia. In practice, he says that one hour of treatment corresponds to 8 hours of deep sleep! ».
What do you recommend to do between sessions?
«Definitely recommend drink at least one liter of water a day, but also draining syrups. Also it would be better eat with or without salt because this promotes water retention when taken inside the body. While it has a different effect when used outside with compresses on the affected part, to be covered with the film. In the shower you can then alternate cold and hot jet from the feet to the knees and back to the back, to stimulate circulation with an upward pump effect. The typical airplane exercises, turning the ankles or moving the toe up and down. These tricks, associated with bamboo massage, are really very effective ».
Are there any contraindications?
«They are the classic ones of massage: pregnant women and those suffering from low blood pressure». The rest is all for the benefit of body and mind!
