Kati Basti is an effective traditional treatment specifically for acute back pain and musculoskeletal issues such as sciatica and slipped disc.

This treatment is precisely tailored to your specific concerns, considering the condition of your muscles and tissues.

In cases of acute or chronic issues, muscles often become stiff, tight, or inflamed.

Kati Basti takes a thoughtful approach by initially preparing the affected area, softening muscles, and relaxing surrounding tissues.

Unlike some similar treatments that skip this crucial step of softening the area, they can jump straight into working on tense muscles which can cause damage.

Kati Basti uses a small dough ring placed over or near the area of concern, which is then filled with heated, medicated oil.

The warmth of the oil permeates the rigid muscle tissue, making it supple and facilitating natural muscle movement to expel waste buildup.

This warmth also boosts blood circulation to the affected region, supporting the healing process and preventing the surrounding muscles from becoming inactive and tight due to disuse.

Following the removal of the oil, the therapist delivers a full back massage, with special focus on the troubled area, further relaxing and loosening tense muscles.

The treatment concludes with an herbalised steam application over the entire back, enhancing the treatment's effectiveness and assisting the oil in penetrating deeper into the muscle tissue.



You will benefit from Kati Basti if you suffer from the following:

- Lower or upper back pain
- Arthritis 
- Frozen Shoulder
- Stiff neck and neck pains
- Ankylospondylitis sciatica
- Prolapsed or herniated (slipped) disc
- Sports related injuries


Kati Basti is a proven ayurvedic programme for the specific treatment of musculoskeletal issues. Dough is shaped into a small ring, placed over the affected area and then filled with heated, medicated oil. The warm oil penetrates the stiff muscle tissue, softening and relaxing and allowing the natural movement of the muscle to remove the build up of waste. The warmth also promotes blood flow to the affected area which supports the healing process and prevents atrophy and tightening of the surrounding muscles resulting from inactivity. Once the oil is removed the therapist will massage the whole back, paying particular attention to the affected area, which further softens and relaxes these tight muscles. Finally, the treatment concludes with a jet of herbalised steam over the entire back, which enhances the effect of the treatment and helps to take the oil deeper into the muscle tissue.

You will benefit from Kati Basti if you suffer from the following:

  • Lower or upper back pain
  • Arthritis 
  • Frozen Shoulder
  • Stiff neck and neck pains
  • Ankylospondylitis sciatica
  • Prolapsed or herniated (slipped) disc
