Therapy methods and effects
Santhigram uses Abhyangam, Kizhi and targeted Pichu to address joint pain, muscle spasms and jaw or neck tension. The session applies warmed herbal oils and rhythmic strokes followed by medicated poultices and localized pichu to relax soft tissue and encourage balanced tone without invasive procedures.
The combination is selected to both relax and tone affected areas: Abhyangam’s full-limb and shoulder strokes prepare tissues, Kizhi’s poultices deliver concentrated warmth, and pichu provides sustained herbal contact where jaw or neck tension concentrates. Therapists adjust pressure and application to individual comfort and response.
During your treatment session
Treatment begins with a brief assessment of the neck, shoulders and back to identify tension patterns and any movement restrictions. Your 45 MINUTES session typically follows a sequence—Abhyangam to warm and mobilize, Kizhi to apply targeted heat and herbs, then pichu for focused contact on tense spots—adapted to your comfort.
Clients should expect a hands-on, oil-based therapy where the therapist asks about pressure and sensitivity. The centre’s schedule reflects the needs of commuters and shift workers, with flexible appointment times including evenings and weekends to fit travel or work schedules common in the Meadowvale area.
Booking, location and travel
Santhigram is located in Mississauga near Meadowvale Business Park with quick access to Highway 401 and Mavis Road, Meadowvale GO Station and Toronto Pearson International Airport. This positioning makes the service convenient for clients from Mississauga, Brampton, Meadowvale, Streetsville, Erin Mills and Malton.
Plan for seasonal travel differences: typical Great Lakes winters bring snow and freeze-thaw conditions that can affect travel and scheduling. The session fee is $195; when booking, allow extra commute time in winter and choose appointment times that suit your shift or travel needs.
