Nathalie Cecilia, originally from Nimes, South France is the original source in the United States for a fresh spa treatment she calls Bamboo-fusion. This trademarked treatment is valued highly by luxury spas and is advancing as the most popular method of massage treatment. Ms. Cecilia uses bamboo sticks cut into different shapes and sizes as extensions of her fingers during a massage treatment. She also "warms" the sticks to permit the bamboo pieces to penetrate and relax the muscles faster.
She originally discovered this type of massage during a session where the customer kept requesting "deeper pressure" on his upper trapezius (shoulders). With a small physical build, Nathalie began to face pain in her hands within only 2 months of doing traditional massage. As a Thai therapist, Nathalie sometimes did back walking while utilizing bamboo poles 6ft long for balance. "As I was working on this gentleman who was seated, my eyes caught the 2 bamboo poles that I used for balance when back walking. I hit upon the idea to use one of the poles for tapotement on his upper trapezius. Standing 6 ft away from the customer I started, tapping on his shoulders with this very long stick, and he told me it felt really great!"
Small repeated motions performed by the therapist when doing traditional massage can result in injuries arising from repeated use such as carpel tunnel. Using Bamboo-fusion massage, the bamboo tools helps the massage therapist to perform deep pressure requests. Ms. Cecilia explains that she has noticed that after a few bamboo massage treatments, the client's skin can actually become more supple.
Her bamboo intrument sets have evolved during past few years and are now made with 100% solid bamboo which is pressed into different figures 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 best 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 heat without the need of a roaster or crock pot. The heating instruments used keep, the bamboo stays warm (which of course the clients love), and there is little to no mess between sessions. During the Bamboo-fusion massage training classes, we also offer suggestions to incorporate the use of a few hot stones into the session for those that desire to mix bamboo and stones.
As therapists and clients continually search for new methods to massage therapy, bamboo is at the forefront of the industry, providing the most basic answer. The use of a renewable and sustainable resource that connects us to our historic past allows todays need for deep tissue massage to be handled. Nathalie is the pioneer of bamboo massage and is at the forefront in the massage and bodywork industry. This training in bamboo massage is excellent for experienced massage therapists or for those in school or newbies. Massage therapy training classes in bamboo massage can be held just about anywhere. The bamboo sets are very lightweight and very portable making the massage training classes convenient.
A number of Asian countries consider bamboo with great reverence since it has played an important role in feeding and housing 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 boasts more than 1500 different species that grow naturally across most Asian countries in addition to South and Central America. The Chinese and Japanese have utilized bamboo since pre-historic times; however is just now becoming main-stream in the American culture.
In the US, 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 a symbol of “luck” by many people that possess bamboo stalks commonly arranged in a small vase. A number of high end resorts and spas are now using bamboo in the form of flooring, furniture, and artwork. Clothing and linens manufactured from bamboo fibers are also very popular. Top resorts and spas take this a step further and incorporate bamboo into their spa menus as part of a new special treatment that feels luxurious. The massage therapy training class covers all aspects of implementation, ranging from the primary massage training to writing a description for your spa menu.
This treatment was initiated at a recent spa show in Las Vegas and captivated 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.
