Kati Basti treatment for your neck and back
-
What is Kati Basti in Ayurveda?
Kati Basti is a healing, warm oil treatment recommended for sciatica, chronic lower and upper back pain issues, frozen shoulders, and neck pain.
How does Kati Basti work?
Kati Basti is a one-of-a-kind therapeutic technique due to its simple, non-invasive, and effective approach. Sometimes it is known as “Indirect Physiotherapy” because there is no direct manipulation, and here the warm medicated oil does the treating ‘work’.
In this procedure, warm medicated oil is poured into a specially formed frame ring, prepared from black gram flour, over the lumbosacral area or any adjacent part for a certain time. The oil is generally heated at a safe temperature and pooled over the affected area. The temperature of the oil is then maintained at a specific value throughout the therapy session.
What are some benefits you’re likely to experience after this treatment?
The application of therapeutic heat creates a warming effect that has a calming effect via sensory neuron endings and induces vasodilation. Vasodilation improves blood circulation, resulting in the removal of catabolic waste and increasing anabolism as tissue receives nutrients and oxygen promptly. Heat also improves the local metabolism of cells and the elasticity of fibrous tissue. Consequently, connective tissue such as tendon tissue and ligament will also become more elastic.
This technique also relieves pain, stiffness, swelling, and inflammation of the localised affected area. Oils used help to nourish and strengthen the affected joints or even lubricate the joints and reduce pain or discomfort by soothing the nerves surrounding the affected area within a length of time.

Testimonials
“In June 2020 (Covid period), I had a severe lower back injury where I was physically unable to work for 5 months…
Ann, my Ayurveda massage therapist, recommended Kati Basti – a heated oil treatment for the isolated area of injury. Over multiple sessions, my mind and body became very calm, and I remember that after the first session, I was already feeling less tightness in my back. Currently, in conjunction with Ann’s treatments, vitamins, and acupuncture/chiropractic appointments, I’m back at the gym, which I love, but with a mindful understanding of what my body’s capabilities are.
Ann is not only a very thorough, warm, and calm therapist, but she is also the first therapist my body was able to trust after the injury. Injury or not, I recommend Ann’s treatments. I came out with a better understanding of my body. Shirley Kumar
