A brief consultation, warm herbal oil applied and retained within a dough dam on your lower back, gentle massage and monitoring by the therapist. Total time is about 50 minutes with a calming, restorative experience.
Most clients find the treatment soothing rather than painful. You may feel warmth and gentle pressure; any sharp discomfort should be reported immediately so the therapist can adjust temperature or technique.
Recommendation depends on severity: typically a course of 4–6 weekly sessions for chronic issues, with reassessment after the initial series to tailor ongoing frequency and maintenance treatments.
Not suitable with open wounds, skin infections, uncontrolled hypertension, recent back surgery, or certain cardiac conditions. Pregnant clients should consult their physician; always disclose medications and health history.
Arrive hydrated and comfortably dressed in loose clothing. Avoid heavy meals or strenuous exercise immediately before treatment and inform the therapist about medications, allergies, or medical concerns.
Rest for a few hours, avoid cold showers or exposure to chill, drink warm fluids, perform gentle stretching as recommended, and follow any personalized home-care or posture guidance from your therapist.
