Warm Bamboo Massage is a powerful healing modality in which heated bamboo sticks of varying sizes are used to provide deep relaxation, as well as to stretch and elongate the muscle and fascia.
Bamboo itself has a long history, the earliest record of its use dates back over 5000 years ago in China. The Chinese used to record their history on thin slivers of bamboo as paper had not been invented.
Bamboo’s outer cell walls are covered with silica, which creates a crystalline –like matrix, which exhibits two specific properties relevant to massaging with bamboo. The first is piezoelectricity which is activated with pressure to generate an electric potential. The second property is pyroelectricity which is activated with heat and is also present in bones and tendons. So, working with bamboo, once heated, and applying pressure to the muscle fascia can create a powerful effect.
