Should You Invest in Wood Therapy or the G5 Machine?
In the world of body contouring, wood therapy has been a trending technique—but is it really the best option for your salon? While it looks great on social media, there’s a growing shift among professionals toward the G5 Massage Machine, and for good reason.
If you’re considering adding a new treatment to your salon, this blog will show you why investing in the G5 is a smarter, safer, and more effective long-term choice over traditional wood therapy.

What is Wood Therapy?
Wood therapy is a manual massage technique using carved wooden tools to stimulate lymphatic drainage, break down fat, and contour the body. It requires repetitive, intense hand movements and knowledge of advanced massage techniques.
While it has visual appeal, it’s labour-intensive, inconsistent across clients, and can be tough on the technician’s hands, wrists, and energy levels.
What is the G5 Massage Machine?
The G5 Massage Machine delivers high-frequency, mechanical percussive movements to deeply stimulate tissues, break down fat deposits, promote circulation, and boost lymphatic drainage.
It’s a machine-powered solution that does the heavy lifting for you—no intensive massage training or repetitive manual labour required.

✅ Saves Your Hands & Energy – No more physical burnout or sore wrists. The G5 does the work for you, keeping you energised and efficient all day.
✅ Faster Training & Implementation – You don’t need a background in massage. You can learn the G5 system quickly and start booking clients right away.
✅ Better Client Results – The G5 delivers consistent, deep stimulation, enhancing fat breakdown, circulation, and lymphatic drainage.
✅ Professional Look & Feel – Clients are impressed by advanced equipment. The G5 brings a modern, high-tech edge to your service menu.
Add Value Without Adding Burnout
With wood therapy, your business growth depends on your physical output. But with the G5, you’re scaling smarter. You can:
Perform back-to-back treatments without exhaustion
Offer faster sessions that deliver results
Focus on client care, upselling, and building your brand while the machine works
You’re not just buying equipment—you’re buying longevity, client satisfaction, and freedom.
