Using bamboo for massage is an innovative idea. Therapists use different types and size of bamboo in order to give a perfect bamboo massage. Generally, they use seven hollow bamboo sticks of different lengths and diameter. Usually, they use 4-15 inches bamboo for health and safety reasons. They use both straight & hard and flexible and light bamboos. Bamboos are also used to replicate the strokes in Swedish massage. Bamboos can be combined with Ayurvedic, Lymphatic Drainage, and Thai techniques according to the client’s needs. Smaller bamboo sticks are used to apply pressure and activate specific points of hands and feet during the massage session. Long bamboo sticks are used for gliding and rolling, primarily for larger muscles like back and thigh.
