How we help
First we ask how and when your back hurts. Then herbal oil is applied and gentle heat is given through a herbal bandage, only as warm as is comfortable for you. Most people come daily for a short course, and we’ll tell you how many sessions we expect.
Get medical help urgently if
You have numbness around the groin or buttocks, trouble passing urine or controlling your bowels, weakness in both legs, or a fever or unexplained weight loss with the back pain.
