Breath & Health

Description

Breath & Health is a long-running alternative medical centre set inside a villa on Al Wasl Road, and its villa-over-clinic feel is the point. Rather than the sleek spa template, the space trades in warmth, aroma, and a calm, residential atmosphere that softens the edges of any appointment. The practitioner bench is unusually broad for Dubai: homeopathy, cranio-sacral therapy, sports massage, nutrition consultations, and the kind of targeted bodywork that attracts returning clients with nagging injuries and chronic complaints. The therapeutic work is the centre's real strength. Cranio-sacral sessions with experienced therapists are a flagship, and sports massage has a steady following among runners and trekkers working through muscular-skeletal issues. Homeopathy and nutrition consultations tend to run longer than the norm, with unhurried explanations of theory and technique. Many UAE insurance plans cover treatments here, which eases the pricing into reasonable territory for returning clients. Two caveats are worth flagging. Prices per treatment sit close to five-star spa rates without the steam, sauna, or jacuzzi that those spas include, so the value lies in the therapists rather than the facilities. Medical advice at reception-level interactions can be inconsistent, so come for the hands-on treatments and keep pharmacy questions for elsewhere. For focused bodywork and genuine holistic care in a quietly soothing setting, it remains one of Dubai's more credible addresses.

I'm really skeptical about "alternative medicine," having a brother-in-law who is a Western-trained doctor. However, I reached a point with my rheumatoid arthritis where I would try anything. On the recommendation of a friend, I went to Breath and Health for a consultation with Shivani, the cranio-sacrial therapist, and Dr. Carol, the homepathy doctor. Both were gentle, kind, and very knowledgeable. I was very direct about my apprehensions regarding seeking alternative medical care, and both took the time to explain the theory and procedures to me as well as answer my questions. The rates were quite reasonable, and the environment of the clinic is calm, relaxing, and very pleasant. Most importantly, I really notice a difference with my arthritis pain! I will continue to go to Breath and Health as I know that they are caring health care practitioners with my best interests at heart - and they're covered by my insurance, too!

I hope it would go away by itself, it didn't, so i went along to breath and health and explained how i injured myself etc and am pleased to say after 3 treatments i was cured! I was no longer in any pain in my back! Well done Breath and Health you fixed me!

Having already experiences massages and the morrocan bath at Breath and Health, I approached them for some more specific help with a nagging hip and hamstring problem whilst I was training for Kilimanjaro last year. I took a course of cranio sacral therapy which includes massage. The therapist clearly had excellent musco-skeletal knowledge and was able to isolate the exact source of the problem and help me address healing, both during the treatment and afterwards. They also recommended other therapists and were a huge support in getting me physically fit enough to (successfully) make the climb. Cranio-sacral therapy was also a strangely nurturing and very pleasant experience and I would have no hesitation in recommending it to support the body in its own healing.
