chikilsa

Kalari chikitsa Traditional Indian sports medicine

Kalari chikitsa is the healing system of Kerala’s martial art, Kalaripayattu. It developed alongside Kalaripayattu to help prevent injuries, support recovery, and improve the strength, flexibility and performance of its warriors.

This warrior healing tradition is connected to Ayurveda and Siddhavaidya, while keeping its own distinctive practices within the Kalaripayattu lineage. Today, Kalari chikitsa continues as a traditional approach for supporting modern aches, pains, injuries, mobility restrictions and physical performance.
