Kati’ is the Sanskrit word for Back and ‘Abhyanga’ means oil massage. The spine is considered the central channel of health, movement, and emotional balance. It’s not only vital for physical wellbeing but also a common storehouse for unprocessed stress and tension. Kati Abhyanga is a deeply therapeutic treatment focused on the entire back, including the spine, the shoulders and the backs of the arms. Warm, medicated oils are gently applied using a sequence of long, rhythmic strokes and circular movements. These techniques stimulate key marma points, nourish the tissues, and support and protect the spine and its surrounding nervous system.
It is advisable to review the contra-indications listed below when you book this treatment. This list of contra-indications is not exhaustive —if there are any specific or complex health concerns, a consultation is recommended before proceeding.
