Wood therapy — known internationally as maderotherapy (from the Spanish maderoterapia, “madera” meaning wood) — is a manual body sculpting technique that uses ergonomically shaped wooden tools to work on the body. At WonderSculpt it is our signature treatment, and the one most of our clients start with.
What is wood therapy?
Wood therapy combines rhythmic pressure, rolling and draining movements performed with a set of wooden instruments: textured rollers, cups and paddles, each designed for a specific area of the body. The movements follow the direction of lymphatic flow to stimulate circulation and help the body move excess fluid.
Originating in Colombia and now practised worldwide, maderotherapy has become one of the most requested non-invasive body treatments for anyone who wants a more defined silhouette without needles or surgery.
Benefits of wood therapy
- Helps reduce fluid retention and the feeling of heavy legs
- Improves the appearance of cellulite and skin texture
- Stimulates circulation and lymphatic flow
- Helps define contours — waist, hips, thighs, glutes and arms
- Releases muscle tension, much like a deep-tissue massage
Many clients notice a lighter, smoother body after the very first session. Changes in contour build progressively over a series of sessions.
What a session at WonderSculpt includes
Every session starts with a short consultation about your goals, sensitivity and any areas to focus on or avoid. Your therapist then works through the body with the wooden tools and oil, alternating intense sculpting passes with slower draining movements, and adapting the pressure to you throughout.
- 60 minutes — Half Body or Express Full Body
- 90 minutes — Full Total Body
- 120 minutes — Full Total Body, our most complete session
You can also add a 30-minute Ice Sculpting finish to firm the skin, or combine wood therapy with Cavitation or Radiofrequency in a single session. For the face, we offer a dedicated Facial Wood Therapy.
Does wood therapy hurt?
It shouldn’t. You will feel firm pressure — most clients describe it as a deep-pressure massage — but the intensity is always adapted to your comfort. Areas with more fluid retention or cellulite can feel more sensitive in the first sessions, and that sensitivity usually decreases quickly. Read more in Wood Therapy: Is It Painful?
How many sessions do you need?
It depends on your goals and starting point. For a visible change, most clients follow a plan of 2–3 sessions a week for a few weeks, then move to maintenance every 7–10 days. Our packages of 3, 5 or 10 sessions make this easier and cheaper — with a 10-session package, a 60-minute session works out at IDR 400K. Packages never expire and can be shared with a friend.
