The Pratimoksha Way
- Acupressure
Acupressure is an ancient Chinese healing modality, where the therapist applies pressure to key pressure points along the body to promote the unrestricted flow of life-giving energy. This provides an optimum environment for the body’s natural healing abilities to work. Acupressure helps in releasing muscle tension and increases blood circulation. Its benefits can be felt in many types of conditions such as headaches, neck and back pain, menstrual cramps etc.
- Naturopathy
This is a holistic form of treatment that uses diet, exercise and natural remedies to work together to help the body heal. Once again it can be used to treat a number of mental and physical ailments. It has been found effective in treating cardiovascular disease, musculoskeletal pain, Type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovarian syndrome, depression and anxiety among other conditions.
- Reflexology
Reflexology is a form of massage therapy wherein the therapist applies pressure on key points along the soles of the feet, hands and even ears that are believed to correspond to various organs and systems of the body. By massaging these key points, healing can be promoted, and the accompanying stress of the condition reduced. Reflexology helps to boost the immune system; fight cancers, colds and bacterial infections; combat sinus issues, rectify hormonal imbalances, boost fertility, improve digestion and ease arthritis pain among other things.
- Therapeutic Yoga
If you are in chronic pain due to specific musculoskeletal issues, Yoga therapy can help. Through a combination of facilitated stretches and strengthening exercises, your specific issue can be addressed. Once pain is relieved and those muscles strengthened you can join a regular Yoga program to maintain strength, stability, and flexibility. Yoga therapy is effective for all types of muscle pain — neck, shoulder, back, knee etc.
- Nutrition and diet
With an emphasis on holistic healing, we believe diet management is essential for rapid, continued all-round healing. Our diet regimens and advice are based on the Ayurvedic principles of body types in combination with Yoga. It is an integrated approach that considers individual body constitutions, offering customized diet plans and a customized Yoga practice that includes specific postures, breathing techniques and meditative affirmative practices.
