Frequently Asked Questions
?
What happens each day on a back pain relief retreat?
A day on a back pain relief retreat usually combines one ayurvedic therapy such as kati basti, a physiotherapy session, and yoga adapted with props and a chair. Treatment time totals three to four hours. Posture and desk set-up are reviewed once or twice during the stay.
?
How long should a back pain retreat be?
Most back pain relief retreats run fourteen to twenty one nights, long enough for a full course of ayurvedic oil therapy and for a home exercise routine to become habit. Seven-night stays suit recurring strain rather than long standing pain.
?
How is a back pain retreat different from a joint pain retreat?
Back pain relief retreats concentrate on the spine, posture and core stability, while joint pain retreats work on knees, hips, hands and the strength around them. Therapies overlap, with kati basti used for the back and pizhichil for the joints. Assessment on arrival decides which fits.
