Wood therapy which is also known as maderoterapia or columbian massage is based on an ancient oriental technique of wood manipulation that has been practised for centuries. In the 19th century, it became popular in France, where it was used to treat cellulite and fluid retention. In the 1990s, wood therapy arrived in Colombia, where it was adapted and perfected by experts in alternative therapies. In Colombia, wood therapy is used for aesthetic and therapeutic purposes.
