FAQs
Our therapists have been trained by our specialist Dr. Ajit in order to perform each orchestrated step of this treatment with care. The Kati Basti technique works to first prepare the affected area by softening the muscles and relaxing the surrounding tissue. Quite often, this important step is missed in similar treatments and the practitioner will instead start their work on the tight muscles straight away which can result in more damage being caused. The use of naturally medicated oil specific to this treatment aid your healing process, delving deep into the layers of tissue and ensuring that you receive results that continue beyond your time with us.
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.
