Marma: Ayurvedic Joint & Spine Care

Duration line: 7 days · 14 days · 21 days

Description

Marma points are the body’s vital junctions, where muscles, joints and nerves meet. This programme brings together Kerala’s specialised therapies for joints and the spine, including Pizhichil, herbal Kizhi, Basti and Marma therapy, with gentle physio-yoga, to
support pain relief, mobility and strength in a natural way.

Who it's for

How Layam approaches it:

Your doctor assesses your pain, posture and history, and reviews any scans or reports you bring. Therapies are then chosen for the affected area, from warm oil treatments that soothe and nourish to Marma therapy that works on specific points. Physio-yoga sessions help you build strength and correct the habits behind the pain.

Therapies included

Pizhichil: warm medicated oil poured continuously over the body while therapists massage in rhythm, one of Kerala's classic treatments for joints and muscles
Kizhi: warm herbal bundles of leaves (Elakizhi) or powders (Podikizhi) pressed over painful areas to ease stiffness and swelling
Greeva Basti and Kati Basti: warm medicated oil held in a ring of dough on the neck (Greeva) or lower back (Kati) to soothe and nourish the area
Marma therapy: gentle, precise work on vital points to relieve pain and restore the flow of energy
Physio-yoga: therapeutic yoga and movement to improve posture, mobility and strength
