Sciatica · lumbago · lumbar and cervical spondylosis · muscular spasm and sprain

This describes what the therapy has historically been applied to within Ayurveda and Siddha. It is not a claim that it will treat or cure any condition in your case, and it does not replace advice from a qualified doctor.

What to expect

This therapy is not booked on its own. Whether it is appropriate for you — and how it would sit alongside diet, daily routine and herbs — is decided after the pulse reading at your first consultation.

Only chemical-free herbs and oils are used, and nothing tested on animals.

Preparation and safety

Speak to us beforehand

If you have any reason to think a therapy may not suit you, tell us before booking and we will advise. Some therapies are not appropriate in every situation.

Your doctor comes first

Anything a doctor has prescribed for you stays a matter between you and them. Ayurveda and Siddha as practised here sit alongside that, never in place of it.
