Bamboo Reed/Cane Massagers
Orinally used in Chinese massage therapy the pa sai bang massager is a bundle of thin bamboo or rattan reeds held together. Sir-Canada's adaptation encases the handle in a comfortable non-slip handle finishes with Turk's Head knots. Instead of a wooden collar, elastics hold the bundle together.
When all elastics are pulled towards the handlle, the swishing sound and soft pressure of the reeds is very comforting and has been known to put the recipient to sleep. The closer the elastics are to the tips of the reeds, or the more elastics used to hold the bundle together, the deeper the energy penetration into the muscle tissues.
Small reed massagers are a 1" bundle of reeds (overall length approximately 26". Large reed massagers are approximately 1.75" in diameter and 32" long.
