Green Point · Cape Town
Sculpted by hand.Softened by intention.
An appointment-only studio for wood therapy, lymphatic drainage and post-op recovery — 30-minute sessions, one guest at a time.
The Practice
A slower kind of body work — rooted in wood, warmth and real anatomy.
Bodywood is a small, appointment-only studio in Green Point. Every session is one guest, 30 minutes, one pair of hands. No conveyor belts, no upsells — just careful, physical work with hand-carved wooden tools.
Treatments
Five ways the body is met here.
Every treatment is a 30-minute studio session.
- 01
Wood Therapy
Hand-carved wooden tools sculpt, drain and contour — the signature of the studio and the treatment most guests return for.
30 min - 02
Lymph Drainage
Slow, rhythmic strokes to move stagnant fluid, ease swelling and leave the body feeling lighter and less inflamed.
30 min - 03
Cupping
Silicone and glass cups lift tissue, release tension held deep in the fascia and restore circulation to tired muscles.
30 min - 04
Post-Op Massage
Specialised, gentle work for post-surgical recovery — supporting comfort and a softer, more even recovery over time.
30 min - 05
Deep & Relaxing Massage
Full-body pressure work — grounding, restorative and tailored to what your body is actually asking for that day.
30 min
Thando generally recommends 6–8 sessions for clients pursuing a treatment journey, depending on their individual goals.
