Indian Head Massage is based on Ayurvedic form of Healing that dates back to almost 4,000 years ago. It works on upper chakras and used for physical harmony, vitality and relaxation. Traditionally the techniques were restricted to the head and hair, to improve scalp and hair condition of Indian women. Nowadays a system incorporating the upper back, shoulders, neck, upper arms and face, has evolved in the belief that these are important energy centres in the body and by treating these the whole body can benefit.
Indian Head Massage is a safe, accessible, and convenient therapeutic treatment that can be performed at home, in a clinic or workplace. Treatments can provide instant relief from tension and stress symptoms and induce a state of calm, peace and tranquility and also promote high levels of alertness and concentration.
This simple yet effective therapy uses a variety of techniques to manipulate soft tissue. It is performed with the client in a seated position, usually through light clothing and without the use of oils. The therapist uses a range of different massage pressures and rhythms to stimulate the head, neck, and upper back and shoulder area. A typical massage will last between 15 and 20 minutes.
