You've tried chiropractors, osteopaths, functional medicine, and everything under the sun... but the pain keeps coming back.
Recover from back and spinal injuries with Kati Basti Therapeutic Massage. Ayurvedic treatment for musculoskeletal aches and pains.
For those who suffer from
• Lower / Upper Back Pain
• Arthritis Back or Knee Pain
• Frozen Shoulder / Capsulitis
• Stiff Neck and Neck Pains
• Prolapsed or Herniated (Slipped) Disc
• Sciatica or Spinal Injuries
Kati Basti is a targeted treatment for musculoskeletal problems in the back, neck or spine. We use a traditional method of massage therapy to counter pains and expedite the healing process in a way that avoids discomfort.
Quite often practitioners can jump straight into working on tense muscles which can actually cause damage. We take the time to soften the muscles and relax the surrounding area before working on the affected area in a way that considers the interconnection of your tissues and allows increased blood flow to the area.
Manage your aches, pains, and support your recovery with a gentle yet effective therapeutic massage treatment called Kati Basti, used over centuries within the traditional eastern method of Ayurveda.
For severe injuries, we recommend at least 5-6 treatments.
Duration: 60 minutes
Cost: $160

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.
