Warm Bamboo
with Bradford Nicarry, LMT, CYT

Welcome to the "what's next" in the massage world: Bamboo - being both easier to prepare and significantly faster to clean after the service then hot stones. Additionally, Bamboo retains and distributes heat differently. It is 8th grade science all over: HEAT expands! The client's muscles and the therapist's hands both benefit from the warming quality of the bamboo! You can incorporate bamboo into your traditional modalities or create a separate service. The bamboo can be safely used directly on the skin, or the client can feel the warmth through sheets and clothing. In this course we will cover contraindications, care, cleaning and maintenance. Expect to spend most of your time practicing on your classmates.

This is a 2 day class - you are automatically enrolled in the next day

Upcoming dates:
Oct. 29-30
