Indian Head Massage is an Ayurvedic treatment adapted from an Indian tradition dating back over a thousand years, based on the traditional Ayurvedic principles of balancing energies. Original Indian techniques were traditionally used daily by family members on each other, to help maintain the delicate balance between the mind, body & spirit and to promote healing.
Modern Indian Head Massage incorporates relaxing and warming shoulder, arm and neck massage strokes before the use of specific head and face massage sequences, relieving tension and bringing a sense of deep relaxation. It really is an incredibly relaxing and calming therapy. The many physical and psychological benefits from this deeply satisfying treatment can include:
– enhanced hair growth
– improved lymphatic flow
– replenished energy levels
– improved insomnia symptoms
– reduction in sinusitis symptoms
– alleviation of tension headaches and migraines
– reduction in stress and anxiety symptoms
The treatment is performed while the client is in a sitting position in a chair and can be done either partially undressed from the upper back and shoulder area with the torso covered with a towel, or fully clothed, at the preference of the client. The therapist stands behind the client to perform the treatment. A support is placed behind the client’s neck prior to the face sequence to prevent strain on the neck.
With a consultation at the beginning of the session to ensure there are no contra-indications that may restrict the treatment, an Indian Head Massage appointment lasts approximately 45 mins.
