INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE


Indian Head Massage aims to treat the whole person and not the symptoms of the disease. It helps to restore a state of balance by relieving stress through the body's natural healing process. As well as being a relaxing encounter, it can also be an invigorating and refreshing experience. After a treatment you will often feel a 'balanced' feeling of peace and calm and will usually feel more alert and revitalised.
​
Once the body is "in tune" it is best to have regular treatments to help maintain a state of balance.
​
Treatment
Involves massage to the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, scalp and face. The client remains in an upright position. The massage can be performed over clothes or using oil for the body and hair.
​
How does it Work?
The massage works on a physical and psychological level. The techniques used help de-stress the whole body; by massaging the head and shoulders, energies will become rebalanced and a general feeling of relaxation will be achieved.
Indian Head Massage can improve blood flow to the head and neck, which increases the distribution of nutrients and this encourages healing throughout the body.
