Originating in India over 1000 years ago, Indian head massage began as a way of keeping the hair in good condition. It is based on the ancient healing system of Ayurveda.
This form of massage works on the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp, ears and face. These areas are massaged using firm yet gentle, rhythmic movements that involve acupressure points called Marma points.
The Chakra is the energy vortex that we need to remain striving and because the massage works on the neck and shoulders, tension is relieved almost instantly.
Regular sessions of Indian Head Massage will result in a number of health benefits, and a course of treatments may be advised if a complex condition is involved.
Indian Head Massage can be used to:
During the massage, the client remains seated and fully clothed. The therapist will then stand behind or slightly to the side of the client to perform the massage. A treatment session usually lasts thirty minutes. This form of massage can be used with other therapies.
