The Benefits of Indian Head Massage.

Indian Head Massage has been adapted from Ayurvedic techniques to ease tension and strain in the shoulders, neck, scalp and face. It is a highly effective technique for the treatment of stress and stress related conditions. Since it can be carried out anywhere and is relatively quick to perform it is becoming a particularly popular therapy in the workplace.

Benefits include:

  • Improved circulation and lymphatic drainage to the head, neck, scalp, face and shoulder area
  • A deep sense of relaxation and a feeling of total well-being
  • Relief from headaches and migraine
  • Relaxation of the muscles of the head, neck and shoulder area
  • Stimulation of hair growth
  • Improvement in concentration and memory
  • Relief from anxiety and insomnia
  • Alleviation of eye strain
  • Healthy skin
  • Confidence and improved self-esteem

What does it involve?

The client, fully clothed, sits in a massage chair for the treatment. I use a range of different movements including application of deep kneading and compression movements over the neck, shoulder and scalp areas. The session will last for 30 minutes, and I like my clients to sit quietly for ten minutes after the massage has been completed.
