Self care training for the therapist :

Before starting the process to learn the treatment we will explore our own bodies, especially the legs and feet, practicing feet exercises and some Internal Martial arts warm ups that help strengthen the legs and thighs. This will help prepare you to give your treatments without straining your own physique, and be more aware of the lower body and your posture.

Learn the main sequence of moves which have been used for thousands of years by Kalaripayattu warriors and will be the basic structure of the treatment.

Studying Ayurvedic principles : Learn about Marma points and Nadis (energy channels) that will be also part of the treatment and can be added into your own knowledge of Anatomy and Physiology

Learn about the Ayurvedic oils that are used during this treatment, which help with arthritis/osteoarthritis, degenerative conditions, back pain, shoulder pain, knee pain and general unhealthy patterns in the body.

The course is currently available for two people at a time. Course fee £900 not including accommodation.
