INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE
What is Indian Head Massage?
Indian Head Massage is a treatment based on old Ayurvedic techniques involving work on the upper back, neck, shoulders, face and scalp.
It is a wonderfully relaxing holistic therapy, which treats the mind, body and spirit.
Holistic therapies are the key to your relaxation and inner calm.
This will leave you relaxed, stress-free and relieved of any physical or emotional tension.
What will an Indian head massage treatment involve?
I use a variety of massage movements to relieve accumulated tension, stimulate circulation, reduce stress & fatigue and improve mental clarity.
What are the benefits of an Indian head massage?
Stress reduction and anxiety
The massage is extremely effective for treating stress because it works on the areas of the body where we tend to carry stress – the upper back, neck, shoulders and head. Indian head massage can also help to improve your overall sense of wellbeing, which in turn may also help to lower blood pressure and relieve anxiety.
Better sleep
The relaxing effect of Indian head massage can have a positive effect on your sleep, by encouraging deeper, more restful sleep and helping to reduce insomnia.
Reduces back/neck pain
The massage and stretching techniques used during an Indian head massage help to reduce muscle stiffness. It relaxes the muscles in the neck, shoulders, head and back to alleviate tension in these areas, helping to reduce pain and improve joint mobility.
Reduces headaches/migraines
Where there is a build-up of tension in the head, neck, shoulders and upper back, it can often lead to headaches or migraines. Similarly, when you are stressed this can also result in tension headaches. Indian head massage targets these areas, helping to reduce any muscle tension that could be causing the headaches, whilst the relaxing side of the massage will help to alleviate a tension headache. My client can have the option of massage oil being used.
Promotes hair growth
The massage increases nourishment and oxygen to the scalp and hair follicle, which in turn stimulates hair growth. It detoxifies the body by stimulating lymphatic drainage, and blood flows to the neck, thus helping to remove waste products from the body.
