Marma Chikitsa - #3916

For the last few months, I’ve been dealing with constant neck pain and stiffness. It started as something small, like a little tension after working on my laptop all day, but now it feels like it’s affecting my shoulders and even giving me headaches. I tried regular massages, stretching exercises, and even painkillers, but nothing gives lasting relief. A friend of mine suggested I look into marma chikitsa. She said it’s an Ayurvedic therapy that targets specific points in the body to heal pain and restore balance. I’ve been reading about marma chikitsa and how it focuses on these vital energy points in the body, but I still don’t fully understand how it works. Are these points like acupuncture points, or is it a completely different concept? Does marma chikitsa only help with physical pain, or can it also help with stress and anxiety? Because honestly, I think my stress might be making the pain worse. I’d like to try marma chikitsa, but I don’t know if it’s safe for everyone. Are there any risks or side effects I should be aware of? Also, does marma chikitsa require multiple sessions to see results, or can it work in just one session? I don’t mind committing to it if it works, but I don’t want to invest in something that won’t really help me. Another thing I’m wondering about is whether marma chikitsa can be done at home or if it has to be done by a trained practitioner. I found a few videos online that show some basic techniques, but I’m not sure if it’s safe to try without proper guidance. How do I find a qualified therapist who specializes in marma chikitsa? Lastly, I’ve been curious about the connection between marma chikitsa and overall health. Some articles say it’s not just for pain relief but can also improve digestion and boost immunity. Is that true? How does working on these marma points affect the entire body like that?
