Spinal Bath
Lying bath immersing only the spine, to calm the nervous system
You lie in a shallow spinal tub so only the spinal column is immersed. It settles the nervous system and is one of the gentlest treatments for insomnia and stress.
Traditionally used for
- Insomnia
- Chronic stress
- Hypertension, as supportive care
- Low mood
When this therapy should not be done
- Fever
- Acute back injury
Tell us about any of these at the consultation. We will suggest something else that suits you.
Before you come
- Eat lightly two hours before
- Wear or bring clothes you do not mind getting oil on
After the session
- Rest for 20–30 minutes
- Warm bath once the oil has settled
- Warm water through the day, no cold drinks
