Indian Head Massage has been practised in India for over a thousand years as part of everyday family life as a form of grooming and wellbeing. It can alleviate the effects of stress and tension by inducing deep relaxation and assists the body in producing ‘endorphins’, hormones which block pain and are associated with feeling good and energised.
The massage usually begins with the upper back, where a combination of deep massage and pressure points help to relax the muscles and to loosen and melt knots. Moving through the shoulders and upper arms further releases the common spots for holding stress and tension, and then working deeply into the neck where tension accumulates relieves headaches. Moving up to the scalp, techniques are used that stimulate, relax and revive the whole of the head, increasing circulation and promoting healthy hair. Finally the treatment includes a face massage with techniques that help circulation, skin tone, and sinus and headache problems.
