The therapist gently cleanses the neck, applies warm herbal oil blend, and creates a sealed reservoir to retain heat for the treatment duration. This soothes muscles, reduces inflammation, and may include light massage before and after for optimal results.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding require medical clearance. We generally avoid deep or heat-intensive therapies during the first trimester and with certain complications. Please consult your OB/GYN; our therapists will adapt or defer treatment based on your provider's guidance for safety.

For chronic conditions, an initial series of weekly treatments for three to six weeks is common, then biweekly as symptoms improve. Maintenance sessions monthly or as needed help sustain gains. We create a personalized plan based on your response and lifestyle.

Janu Basti provides significant symptom relief but cannot guarantee permanent cure for all conditions. Consistent treatments, therapeutic exercises, posture correction, and medical guidance increase long-term benefits. We assess progress and recommend an individualized maintenance plan to manage recurrence.

You may feel warmth, light soreness, or increased mobility after treatment. Avoid strenuous neck activity, hot showers, or heavy lifting for 24 hours. Drink water, rest, and perform any home stretches we provide. Improvement often appears within one to three days.

Contraindications include active skin infections, open wounds, recent neck surgery, uncontrolled hypertension, certain heart conditions, acute fever, or known allergies to herbal oils. Inform us about medications and medical history; we will modify or recommend alternatives and require physician clearance when necessary.
