Marma points are vital junctions of muscles, veins, ligaments, bones and joints described in Sushruta Samhita. Marma therapy stimulates selected points with fingers or thumbs, usually with oil.
Marma therapy is used to ease pain and restore the flow of Prana (vital energy) in the affected area.
How Marma therapy is done
- Doctor assessment of pain and posture.

Who Marma therapy may suit

Precautions before Marma therapy
- Not on fractures, fresh injuries or skin infection.
- Tell the doctor about any medicines you take, pregnancy, recent illness, high blood pressure, heart or kidney problems before the therapy. Do not stop any prescribed medicine on your own.
