Our unique approach
Traditional Ayurvedic techniques: Utilising therapies like Kati Basti, we address musculoskeletal issues by applying warm medicated oils, herbal pastes and boluses to specific areas, promoting deep tissue healing and relaxation.
Your initial comprehensive visit involves
Clinical assessments: Each treatment begins with an evaluation to understand health history, specifics around pain, to ensure personalised care.
Physical assessment: Via observation and clinical assessment, gaining insight into restrictions around movement and function and mobility. Our thoroughly trained clinician will then design a tailored body treatment plan including a movement and exercise program that complements the Ayurvedic treatments suggested, enhancing recovery and promoting self-rehabilitation.
What is involved with the treatment
A dam made of dough is placed over the affected area and filled with warm medicated oil. This helps to soften, repair and nourish aching, tight muscles. After the oil is removed, the therapist will perform a back massage followed by a herbal steam to help deepen the effect of the treatment.
Kati Basti is a deep tissue therapy using heat to heal and oils to repair the tissue. Heat increases blood flow, the increase in blood flow can reduce swelling, assist with pain relief and soften ligaments, tendons and muscles. This in turn allows joints, tendons and ligaments to be stretched further where there is little movement.

How often should you have Kati Basti?
Depends on the individual for acute cases 1 or 2 visits will give you the relief you need with long term results, for more chronic cases a program is recommended which would include treatments weekly to every 10 days depending on the individual.
Our Yoga therapy sessions are highly recommended to assist with the healing process and for improved long term results.

Customer Testimonial
“After trying countless treatments on the Sunshine Coast for ongoing back pain and spasms – I felt I was only addressing the symptoms, not the underlying cause. Working with Scott and Kim has been a game-changer. Their holistic approach, combining personalised Ayurvedic treatments, diet, tonics, and yoga therapy, helped me understand and treat the root causes of my issues. Not only has my pain improved dramatically, but I’m now rebuilding my strength and feeling better than I have in years. Their dedication and genuine passion for achieving real results truly sets them apart. Highly recommended.” Natasha Sunshine Coast
“I will be very honest here i have had a lot of different treatments that I have tried and haven’t had much results on my elbows due to 25years of jiu-jitsu i meet Scott and the team at the gym after speaking with Scott about how to go about the treatment I made an appointment with him and is was the best decision I have ever made thank you Scott for straighting my arms I honestly thought I would have to have an operation that would have cost me a lot of money I didn’t have to spend for no reason I’m so happy with Scott and the team I will be a client for life thank you again. ” Steve Sunshine Coast
