Kaya Cikitsa कायचिकित्स

Massotherapy Fusion

Yoga therapy  योगचिकित्स & Kaya (masso-body) therapy कायचिकित्स form two sides of the same coin.

Massage therapy can be seen as a passive Yoga practice, Thai Yoga massage is affectionately known as the "lazy man's Yoga", that offers  the same benefits plus a deeper work on specific areas & points.

Kayacikitsa emerges from the space where Yoga meets Ayurveda & advanced manual therapies like myofascial, neural gliding, & structural integration.

 

The kayacikitsaka (massotherapist) uses varied appropriate techniques (like massage, cupping, guasha- Scraping, & herbal oils) & works directly on the body of the recipient to:

 

  • Relax muscular, fascial & neural tension

  • Reduce pain & tension

  • Move lymph & fluids

  • Reduce inflammation

  • Promote wellbeing

  • Clear the channels (nāḍī & Srotamsi) through which flows the prāṇa (a.k.a. Qi 氣)

  • Stimulate pressure points (marma)

  • Provide assisted stretching like passive āsana positions.

​

It's not simply relaxing massage for those suffering tension & pain however, but can be an invigorating performance enhancing practice for athletes & sportsmen with specific needs.
