Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Wood Therapy Back and Shoulders.

During the session, your therapist uses specialized wooden tools to massage and roll the back and shoulders, alternating firm and soothing pressure. You may feel warmth, release, and muscle unwinding; sessions conclude with gentle smoothing and aftercare guidance.

Most clients report mild, manageable pressure rather than pain. Techniques are adjusted to your sensitivity; occasional temporary soreness or mild bruising can occur after deeper work. Communicate with your therapist to ensure pressure matches your comfort level.

Standard sessions run 45 to 60 minutes, focusing on the back and shoulders. Initial visits may include a short consultation. We offer shorter or extended sessions for maintenance or intensive therapeutic goals—please ask when booking to customize duration.

Contraindications include active infections, open wounds, recent surgery, blood clotting disorders, severe varicose veins, uncontrolled hypertension, or pregnancy without medical clearance. Always disclose medical history and medications so therapists can modify treatment safely.

Frequency depends on goals: for acute tension relief, weekly sessions for three to four weeks often help; for maintenance, every two to four weeks is typical. Your therapist will recommend a personalized schedule based on response and activity level.

Hydrate well and avoid heavy meals or intense exercise right before your session. Wear comfortable clothing and arrive a few minutes early for consultation. Inform us of recent injuries, medications, skin issues, or sensitivities for safe tailoring.
