Indian head massage is based on the Ayurvedic
system of healing which has been practiced in India for over a thousand years. In Western culture
today we spend much of our time in our heads, so this treatment can help to calm the mind and is
deeply relaxing.
The aim of Indian head massage is to help release the stress that has
accumulated in the tissues, muscles and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders. Helping these
areas affected by mental and emotional stress with a firm and gentle rhythm will relieve muscular
discomfort and tension around the neck and shoulders as well as calming the spirit and aiding
relaxation.

During the Treatment
The massage begins with the upper back, 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 cerebral spinal fluid circulation and more.

The
client, fully clothed, sits in a massage chair for the treatment. The therapist uses a range of different movements including application of deep
kneading and compression movements over the neck, shoulder and scalp areas. In addition, the
therapist will also gently stimulate and stroke pressure points on the face.
The session will usually last from twenty to forty-five minutes,
and most therapists like their clients to sit quietly for ten or twenty minutes once
the massage has been completed.
