Ayurvedic Pain Management Therapies

Padabhayanga

Ayurvedic Foot Massage

Padabhyanga means foot massage. Feet are the most used parts of our body; this reason makes them highly prone to degeneration. Many issues arising from chronic disorders display their first signs on the lower body. For instance, in the case of arthritis feet, especially the knee joint is the most affected part showing signs of pain and inflammation. Many athletes involved in cardio-vascular exercises use their lower limbs to a higher extent in routine practice and also to maintain fitness. When put all together it results in a situation where the lower extremities (feet) are overused, resulting in repeated wear and tear of tissue thus leading to injuries like ligament and muscle tears. Padabhyanga is specially designed for those who seek an answer to a rejuvenation of their lower extremities.

Pristhabhayanga

Ayurvedic back massage therapy

This massage works carefully up the lower back, buttocks, spine, waist and shoulder areas which are generally stressed in our daily life.

Ayurveda and yoga give a lot of importance to the spinal cord calling it ‘Sushumnanadi’, reflecting the importance of the back muscles and vertebral column in keeping the cord safe, from where actually the various nerves of the body emerge and control our voluntary and involuntary movements.

The massage also focuses on Marma points (energy points) over the whole back, arms, and hands to remove blockages in the muscles and cartilage, so that there is a free flow of body fluids and the nerves emerging from the spinal cord are relaxed to perform their jobs efficiently, thus nurturing the body.
