Acupuncture uses very fine, sterile, single-use needles placed at specific points. Most people feel little more than a light sensation, and many find the sessions deeply relaxing.

Our therapies are commonly chosen for back, neck, shoulder, knee and joint discomfort, muscle stiffness, leg and lower-back discomfort, tension headaches and migraine-related discomfort, and everyday stress and fatigue. We focus on comfort and relaxation, not medical treatment.
We recommend booking ahead so we can keep time aside for you. You can request an appointment through our form, or reach us by phone or WhatsApp.
Most sessions run between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the therapy and your needs. We will confirm the details when you book.
It varies from person to person. Some people visit occasionally for relaxation, while others prefer a regular routine. We will discuss what suits you at your first visit.
We follow careful hygiene practices and use single-use needles. If you have any medical condition, are pregnant, or are on medication, please let us know beforehand so we can advise appropriately.
Comfortable, loose clothing is ideal. For some therapies we may ask you to adjust clothing around the area being worked on, always with your comfort and privacy in mind.
No. ThermoCare provides wellness and therapy support that can sit alongside your care. For severe pain, injury, chronic illness or emergencies, please consult a qualified healthcare professional.

We are in Banashankari 3rd Stage, near Kamakya Theater, Bengaluru. You will find our address, map and directions on the Contact page.
Charges depend on the therapy and the length of the session. Please call or WhatsApp +91 70224 87779 for current pricing. We will tell you the cost before you book rather than after you arrive.
Call or WhatsApp +91 70224 87779, or send a request through the contact page on this site. Someone will confirm a time with you directly; the form itself does not confirm a booking.
Yes. Please call or WhatsApp as far ahead as you can, so the slot can be offered to someone else. Sessions are one-to-one, so a late cancellation leaves the time unused.
ThermoCare is on 5th Cross Road near Kamakya Theater in Kamakya Layout, Banashankari 3rd Stage. Please call ahead on +91 70224 87779 if you are driving and would like to check parking on the day.
The clinic is at 11, 5th Cross Road, near Kamakya Theater, Kamakya Layout, Banashankari 3rd Stage, Bengaluru 560085. Kamakya Theater is the landmark most people navigate by, and the contact page has a map with directions.
Sessions are provided by Mahesh N. Setty, Master in Reflexology, certified by Taipei Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan, with over twelve years of clinical practice. ThermoCare runs one-to-one sessions rather than rotating practitioners.
Needles are sterile, single-use, opened for your session and safely disposed of afterwards. They are never reused. The practitioner shows you the sealed needles before anything begins.
Tell us you are pregnant before booking, and check with your doctor or midwife first. Some therapies and positions are not appropriate during pregnancy, and we would rather decline a session than proceed unsure.
Please speak to your doctor first and tell us when you book, particularly for any session involving the feet. Reduced sensation changes what is safe, and we will not proceed without knowing.
Tell us before booking and check with your doctor. Blood-thinning medication changes what is appropriate, especially for acupuncture and firmer massage work.
Never on our advice. Any change to medication is a conversation with your doctor, not with a wellness clinic. Bring your medicine list with you so the practitioner knows what you are taking.
No. ThermoCare does not diagnose, treat or cure any medical condition. If you have not been assessed by a doctor for a persistent or unexplained symptom, please start there.
It should not. Pressure, pace and positioning are set to your comfort and checked during the session, and you can ask to pause, lighten or stop at any point.
Mild tenderness in a worked area for a day or so is common after firmer work and settles on its own. Anything sharper than that is worth telling us about so the next session is adjusted.
Only as much as the therapy requires, and positioning and draping are explained beforehand so you stay covered. For acupuncture, reflexology and foot massage you remain clothed; only shoes and socks come off for foot work.
Yes. If having someone with you would make the visit more comfortable, mention it when you book so the room is set up for it.
Please call and discuss it with us before booking rather than booking online. Suitability depends on age and on what you are hoping the session will help with.
Foot massage works the feet themselves to relieve aching and tightness directly. Reflexology applies targeted pressure to specific points on the feet as a whole-body way to unwind. For tired, sore feet, foot massage is the usual choice.
No. ThermoCare does not perform spinal manipulation, adjustment, cracking or high-velocity techniques of any kind. Spine care support here is soft-tissue and comfort-focused only.
You do not have to decide before arriving. Describe what you are feeling and the practitioner will talk the options through with you at the start of the visit.
You will not be asked to commit to a course of sessions before you have felt one. We begin with a single visit, see how you respond, and discuss what makes sense from there.
ThermoCare is open Monday to Saturday, 9:30 AM to 8:00 PM, with Sunday by appointment. Please call +91 70224 87779 to confirm timings before visiting.
