Bamboo-fusion massage therapy is the most modern and best spa treatment to become known in the industry in years! It is easy to put into action and the massage therapy training can easily be provided at your location to reduce travel for your staff, thus keeping costs to a minimum.

Massage therapy teaching classes are easily available across the country specializing in warm bamboo massage. Bamboo-fusion has been featured in top of the line spa magazines and trade publications making massage training for bamboo massage in high demand.

Nathalie Cecilia, originally from Nimes, South France is the original source in the United States for a brand new spa treatment she calls Bamboo-fusion. This trademarked treatment is in high demand by luxury spas and is gaining in popularity. Ms. Cecilia utilizes bamboo sticks cut into various shapes and sizes as extensions of her fingers throughout a massage session. She also "warms" the sticks to allow the bamboo pieces to penetrate and calm down the muscles faster.

She initially discovered this form of massage during a session where the customer kept asking "deeper pressure" on his upper trapezius (shoulders). At a little over 5' and only 100 lbs, Nathalie began to face pain in her hands within only 2 months of performing traditional massage. As a Thai therapist, Nathalie sometimes did back walking while utilizing bamboo poles that are 6 feet in length for balance. "As I was working on this gentleman who was seated, my eyes caught the two bamboo poles that are utilized for balance when back walking. I hit upon the idea to use one of the poles for tapotement on his shoulder. Standing 6 ft away from the customer I started, tapping on his shoulders with this very long stick, and found it really great"

Small repeated motions performed by the therapist when doing the usual therapy can result in injuries arising from repeated use such as carpel tunnel. Using Bamboo-fusion massage, the bamboo apparatus allow the massage therapist to easily address deep pressure requests. Ms. Cecilia describes that she has noticed that after a few bamboo massage treatments, the client's skin can actually become more supple.

The bamboo tool sets have evolved over the past few years and are now made with 100% solid bamboo which is pressed into different shapes and sizes to help her Bamboo-fusion massage routine. The new techniques and approach, meant to cater for full body massage, hold heat well and are very comfortable for the therapist to use. Rather than just making bamboo sets for others, she also offers massage therapy training to other massage therapists. Her massage training offering for top quality expert massage training is well received by top notch spas that need to offer exquisite treatments to their discriminating client base.

Unlike warm stone massage, the bamboo is easy to warm without the need of a roaster or crock pot. The heating instruments used keep, the bamboo stays warm (which is something that the clients love), and there is little to no mess between sessions. During the Bamboo-fusion massage training classes, we also offer suggestions to include the use of a few hot stones into the session for those that desire to mix bamboo and stones.

As therapists and clients incessantly look for new methods to massage therapy, bamboo is at the forefront of the industry, offering the most basic solution. The use of a green resource that connects us to ancient times allows todays need for deep tissue massage to be addressed. Nathalie is the pioneer of bamboo massage and is a leader in the massage and bodywork industry. This training in bamboo massage is excellent for trained massage therapists or for those in school or new to the industry. Massage therapy training sessions in bamboo massage can be held just about anywhere. The bamboo sets are not heavy and easy to carry making the massage training classes convenient.

Many Asian countries treat bamboo with great reverence since it has played an important function in agriculture and living them. It is not surprising for bamboo to be used in making musical and surgical items, furniture, eating utensils and storage baskets in addition to hundreds of other uses.

Bamboo is a highly renewable (sustainable) resource and has more than fifteen hundred different species that grow naturally throughout most Asian countries in addition to South and Central America. The Chinese and Japanese have used bamboo since ancient times; however is just now becoming main-stream in the American culture.

In the United States, bamboo is generally symbolic and is gaining in popularity due to the fact that it is a highly renewable resource. It is also beautiful and considered "lucky" by many people that possess bamboo stalks commonly arranged in a small vase. A number of posh resorts and spas are now decorating with bamboo in the form of flooring, furniture, and artwork. Garments and linens made of bamboo fibers are also very trendy. Top resorts and spas take this a step further and include bamboo into their spa menus as part of a new special treatment that feels luxurious. The massage therapy teaching curriculum handles all aspects of implementation, ranging from the initial massage training to writing a description for your spa menu.

This treatment was introduced at a recent spa show in Las Vegas and fascinated massage therapists as well as estheticians and spa directors. Retail products and bamboo massage therapy training class information are both available by visiting the founder's website at www.Bamboo-fusion.com.
