Kati Basti – Back

1 hr, 30 mins

$395

Description: Your Kati Basti treatment starts with a relaxing head massage and a nourishing Abhyanga full-body massage to prepare your body. Your therapist then gently places a soft dough ring over your lower back, creating a warm oil reservoir that holds herbal oil in place, allowing it to absorb deeply.

This deep absorption works to relieve your lower back pain and restore balance and flexibility in the area. Afterward, you’re invited to unwind in our meditation room with a complimentary herbal tea, so allow yourself a little extra time to relax and fully absorb the benefits of your treatment.

Best for these ailments:

Often chosen to relieve lower back pain, ease stiffness and muscular tension.
Considered for discomfort associated with sciatica and/or overuse.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Kati Basti help my sciatica?

Kati Basti can support an Ayurvedic approach to the lower back discomfort that often comes with sciatica. Since sciatica can stem from several different underlying causes, we recommend discussing your symptoms with our Ayurvedic doctor first, so we can work out whether Kati Basti fits your situation.

Can Kati Basti help a herniated or bulging disc?

Kati Basti can soothe muscular tension and discomfort in your lower back, but it won’t treat or reverse a herniated or bulging disc. If you have a diagnosed spinal condition, tell us before you book, so we can check that Kati Basti fits alongside your existing medical care.

Is Kati Basti a substitute for physiotherapy, or does it work alongside it?

Kati Basti works alongside physiotherapy and medical treatment rather than replacing them. Many clients use it as complementary care, especially to support relaxation, ease muscular tension and bring warmth to the lower back.

How many Kati Basti sessions will I need?

This differs from person to person. Some clients book Kati Basti now and then as an occasional treatment, while others benefit from a short course of sessions depending on their symptoms, constitution and current imbalance. Our Ayurvedic doctor can map out an approach that suits you.

How long does the relief last?

Everyone responds a little differently to Kati Basti. Some people feel more comfortable right after treatment, while others notice the benefits build gradually across several sessions. Your underlying condition, lifestyle and activity level all shape how long that relief tends to last.

Is there anyone who shouldn't have Kati Basti?

Kati Basti may not suit you if you’re dealing with an acute injury, open wounds, an active skin condition, fever or certain medical conditions affecting your lower back. Let us know about any injuries, diagnoses, medications, pregnancy or recent surgery before your treatment, so we can check it’s right for you.

Do I need a consultation before booking Kati Basti?

Not everyone needs one before booking Kati Basti. But if you’re managing persistent or significant lower back pain, sciatica, a diagnosed spinal condition, or you’re simply unsure whether Kati Basti suits you, start with a consultation with our Ayurvedic doctor. That gives us the full picture of your health history, constitution and current imbalance before we recommend treatment.

Can I keep working/exercising during a course of treatment, or should I rest?

Most people can keep up their normal routine during a course of Kati Basti, though it helps to listen to your body and ease off anything that aggravates your symptoms. Our Ayurvedic doctor can give you more specific guidance based on your condition and how you respond as treatment continues.
