Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage works on areas affected by mental and emotional stresses . In Western culture today we spend much of our time busy with work and family, with a million and one things to think about.  This massage aims to help calm the mind and is surprisingly deeply relaxing.

The pressure applied is as firm or gentle as the client needs, working to help relive muscular discomfort and tension.  It can also calm the spirit, aid relaxation long afterwards, and improve circulation, enhancing the senses and promoting clear thinking.

The massage begins with the upper back and shoulders, where a combination of deep massage and pressure points help to relax the muscles and to loosen and melt knots. Moving through the shoulders and upper arms further releases the common spots for holding stress and tension, and then working deeply into the neck where tension accumulates relieves headaches and improves circulation. Moving up to the scalp, techniques are used that stimulate, relax and revive the whole of the head, increasing circulation and promoting healthy hair. Finally the treatment ends with some pressure point stimulation of the face.

Usually the client would remove upper clothes and wrap a towel around themselves, (ladies can either remove their bra completely or slip off the straps).  Please note that oil will be applied to the hair.

This therapy can also be performed whilst the client is fully clothed without the use of oils.
