Maderotherapy in Québec City
Treat yourself to a maderotherapy session in Québec City to help sculpt, tone, and support circulation in your body and face, in a space devoted to your well-being.
A targeted ritual to sculpt, tone and lighten
Maderotherapy is a massage technique performed with specially designed wooden tools that follow the natural curves of the body and face.
With precise, rhythmic, and repetitive movements, it aims to stimulate circulation, activate the tissues, and support skin tone, while also offering a deep sense of relaxation.
At Aria, maderotherapy is offered as two separate treatments:
• Body Maderotherapy – 90-minute session.
• Face Maderotherapy – 60-minute session.
Each session is adapted to your reality: targeted areas, pressure, pace, and the combination of techniques are adjusted according to your needs, comfort, and goals, within an approach that is both gently aesthetic and therapeutic.
Benefits of maderotherapy
Sculpting and toning targeted areas
Stimulating circulation and drainage
Easing heavy legs and tension
Supporting muscular recovery and mobility
Reconnecting with your body and body image
Contraindications and precautions
As with any targeted treatment, maderotherapy is not suitable for every situation. It is generally not recommended:
- In cases of fever, acute infection, or active inflammatory disease.
- On irritated, burned, fragile skin, or skin with open wounds, significant bruising, or active skin infections.
- For people with significant blood-clotting disorders or who are taking certain blood thinners (please discuss with your healthcare professional).
- On pronounced varicose veins or certain specific circulatory issues.
- On the abdomen during pregnancy or when contraindicated by your healthcare professional.
- On areas that have been recently operated on or after an aesthetic or medical procedure, without prior approval from your doctor.
Maderotherapy maneuvers can sometimes cause temporary sensitivity or mild redness in the areas worked. These effects are usually short-lived.
Before your session, we invite you to let your therapist know about your health conditions, ongoing treatments, and specific sensitivities, so the treatment can be adapted safely.
Who is it recommended for?
Maderotherapy is intended for people who wish to:
- Support tone and firmness in certain areas of the body or face.
- Ease feelings of heavy legs or stagnation in particular regions.
- Complement a broader well-being, lifestyle, or movement-based approach.
- Discover a different approach from classic massage, with wooden tools that provide a structured, targeted sensation.
It can be especially interesting for:
- Active people or athletes who feel overload in their legs or hips.
- Those who wish to gently and progressively support their silhouette, without promises of “miracle” results.
- People who want to care for the quality of their skin and contours while also enjoying a moment of relaxation.
Results are progressive and vary from person to person. A series of sessions may be recommended depending on your goals, your pace, and how your body responds, always within a realistic and respectful approach.
Body Maderotherapy (90 minutes)
The body maderotherapy session lasts 90 minutes and takes place on a massage table, using an appropriate oil to allow the wooden tools to glide smoothly over the skin.
After a brief conversation about your needs and priority areas (thighs, buttocks, hips, waist, abdomen, arms, back, etc.), your therapist will plan the session. The techniques are carried out with different wooden tools (rollers, cups, sculpting boards, etc.), with a precise rhythm and pressure adjusted to your tolerance.
The work often focuses on:
• The legs (front and back) to support circulation and a feeling of lightness.
• The hips, buttocks, and waist for a toning and sculpting effect.
• The lower back and certain tension areas, when appropriate.
Throughout the session, your therapist ensures your comfort and adjusts the pressure, tempo, and areas according to your reactions. Some areas may feel more sensitive than others; it is normal and important to mention it so the treatment can be adapted.
A series of sessions may be suggested to support your tone, circulation, or comfort goals. In between appointments, an active lifestyle, good hydration, and a balanced diet remain valuable allies.
🌿 Premium options available :
Hot Oil Massage, for a deeply cocooning sensation and even greater muscular relaxation.
Aroma Massage, using therapeutic essential oils, for a more targeted and enveloping effect.
Face Maderotherapy (60 minutes)
The face maderotherapy session lasts 60 minutes and focuses on the face, neck, and sometimes the upper décolleté, depending on your needs and comfort.
After a short conversation about your skin, habits, and expectations, your therapist will apply an adapted oil or product to allow the wooden tools to glide gently without irritating the skin. The movements are soft yet structured, performed with tools designed to follow the natural curves of the face (jawline, cheeks, forehead, and, where appropriate, around the eyes).
This treatment aims to:
• Stimulate circulation and support a brighter, more radiant complexion.
• Support skin tone and facial contours (cheeks, jawline).
• Bring a deep sense of relaxation to the face, jaw, and neck, which often hold a lot of tension and stress.
Pressure is always adapted to your sensitivity, especially around delicate areas. The goal is to support firmness and circulation while respecting the skin and underlying tissues.
As with the body treatment, benefits are progressive and can be supported by a series of sessions, as well as by a home skincare routine and a healthy lifestyle.
