Indian Head Massage

                                                                 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.  Although                                                                           Indian Head Massage has been in existence in India for many                                                                  years it has only recently started to gain popularity in the                                                                          West.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GO FOR A TREATMENT

 

An Indian Head Massage is generally carried out with you sitting in a comfortable chair for the duration of the massage.

Treatment normally begins with a deep kneading and probing of the neck and shoulder muscles. The head is then worked with the scalp being squeezed, rubbed, gently tapped and prodded. The hair is briskly tussled and gently combed.

Pressure points are gently worked on and the ears are tugged and pressed.  Lastly the face is worked, with particularly attention on acupressure points to help relieve any sinus pressure, stimulate the circulation and increase alertness. The face is also very gently stroked.  No oils are used in our treatments.
