Madero Therapy
What is Madero Therapy
Madero Therapy, also known as Wood Therapy, is a specialized body-sculpting technique that uses a series of anatomically designed wooden tools to contour the body, stimulate lymphatic drainage, and improve overall tone and texture. This holistic method originated in Colombia and has become a client favorite for its ability to deliver visible results without being invasive.
How It Works
During a Madero Therapy session, your therapist uses smooth wooden rollers, cups, and contouring instruments to create rhythmic, targeted pressure. These tools help:
- Break down localized fat deposits
- Encourage lymphatic drainage
- Improve circulation
- Stimulate the metabolism
- Smooth the appearance of cellulite
Each tool is shaped for a specific purpose—whether that’s lifting, sculpting, draining, or refining the body’s natural curves.
Benefits of Madero Therapy
Clients love Madero Therapy because it offers both aesthetic and wellness benefits:
- Enhanced body contouring and smoother silhouette
- Reduction in the appearance of cellulite
- Improved lymphatic flow and decreased bloating
- A natural boost in metabolism
- Muscle tension relief
- A more toned and sculpted look over time
Results can often be noticed after just a few sessions, with cumulative improvements as treatments continue.
Who is It Best For?
Madero Therapy is ideal for clients who want a non-invasive, natural approach to reshaping the body, improving fluid retention, and enhancing overall body tone. It’s also great for those seeking a relaxing yet effective treatment that pairs well with lymphatic drainage or detox services.
What to Expect
A typical session is comfortable, rhythmic, and deeply stimulating. You may feel warmth or light pressure as your therapist works, and mild redness afterward is normal as circulation increases. No downtime is required—just hydration and a light meal afterward to support detoxification.
How soon can I expect to see results?
Visible changes may begin as early as 3–5 sessions, depending on individual anatomy, fluid retention, and lifestyle factors. Optimal outcomes are typically achieved through a series of 8–12 treatments, performed 2 times a week.
Is Madero Therapy painful?
Treatments should not be painful. Clients may experience firm pressure or mild sensitivity in areas with higher fluid retention or congestion. Pressure is adjusted based on client tolerance and clinical presentation.
What should I expect during a session?
Sessions typically last 60 minutes. The therapist will use a series of wooden instruments in rhythmic, targeted movements to address specific treatment areas. Temporary redness or warmth is common and indicates increased circulation.
Is there any downtime?
There is no downtime associated with Madero Therapy. Clients may resume normal activities immediately following treatment.
Which areas can be treated?
Madero Therapy can address:
- Abdomen
- Waist and flanks
- Thighs and hips
- Gluteal region
- Arms
- Back
Areas are selected based on the client’s treatment goals and clinical assessment.
How long do results last?
Longevity varies by individual. When paired with a balanced lifestyle and adequate hydration, results can be maintained long-term. Many clients benefit from maintenance sessions every 2–4 weeks.
Who is an appropriate candidate?
Madero Therapy is suitable for individuals seeking non-invasive contouring, improved lymphatic flow, and reduction in fluid retention or cellulite. A consultation is recommended to determine candidacy based on medical history and goals.
