Indian Head Massage works on areas affected by mental and emotional stress. In Western culture today we spend much of our time in our heads, so this treatment can really help to calm the mind and is deeply relaxing. Working with a firm and gentle rhythm it may help to relieve muscular discomfort and tension as well as aiding relaxation. It may also improve circulation in the head, enhance the senses and promote clear thinking.
Worked on the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face, this therapy addresses many of the major areas where we hold our stress and tension. Tension building up in the shoulders may lead to tension in the neck which can often be a factor in headaches, migraines etc.
This massage can also be performed without oils with the client seated and fully clothed, so it is ideally suited to the workplace or situations where it may not be appropriate for the client to remove their clothing.
