Massage has always played an important part in Indian
life, featuring in the earliest Ayurvedic text, dating back 4000 years.
Indian Head Massage is a treatment for the scalp, face, neck, shoulders
and arms. It uses similar techniques to classic Swedish massage and is
especially effective in treating stress, as it focuses on those areas
of the body most affected by stress i.e. the shoulders, neck and head.
The client can remain fully clothed for the duration of the massage or
may expose the upper back and shoulders if so wished. Specially
selected natural oils can then be incorporated into the massage, which
will bring added benefits to the massage.
Indian Head Massage helps the body in its attempts to self-heal, with
the effects being felt throughout the body and the mind.
