Maderotherapy is a manual body massage performed with wooden tools of different shapes —rollers, cups and boards— that glide and press over the skin. At Nova Center we approach it as a wellbeing treatment focused on working the body contour and the appearance of cellulite on areas such as the abdomen, legs and buttocks, always in sessions and as part of a care routine. It may suit you if you are looking for a relaxing manual technique to complement other body treatments. It is not a medical treatment or a weight-loss promise: results vary from person to person, and the plan is defined in a prior assessment. We offer it at our centre in Les Corts, Barcelona.
