Actually a massage involving the neck, the
shoulders, scalp and face, Indian Head
Massage is an extremely effective therapy
that has evolved from traditional techniques
practised in India as part of family rituals for
over a thousand years. The technique taught
by us is true to the original massage brought
over to the UK from India.

The treatment involves massage through the clothes to the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, face and scalp, with the client remaining seated in an upright position.  This massage works on particular areas of the body, especially the neck and the shoulders where stress affects major muscle groups, and it often brings immediate relief. Tensions are eased and fibrous knots and nodules melt away. The efficiency of the circulatory and lymphatic systems improves, toxins are dispersed from tense muscles and flexibility and fluidity of movement is restored.

An Indian Head Massage is done with the client sitting in a comfortable chair for the duration of the massage, ideally wearing a camisole or vest top with thin straps. Treatment normally begins with a massage of the neck and shoulders, some work to the arms follows and then the scalp is massaged and the hair briskly tussled and gently combed.  The massage finishes with some techniques to the face and ears. Although it is easy to learn the basics this form of massage should not be taken lightly. It is both subtle and deep, leaving the client feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.
 
An Indian Head Massage lasts about 30 minutes.
