Indian Head Massage is a therapeutic massage treatment practiced in India for over a thousand years. Originally only practised on the head region, its recent popularity in the west has seen it extend to treatment of the neck, upper back, shoulders and arms. Indian Head Massage focuses on massaging acupressure points to release tension and promote relaxation. This massage therapy is designed to rebalance your body's energies and improve your overall wellbeing.

Stress Relief - The massage techniques can help reduce stress and promote a sense of calm.

Pain Reduction - It can relieve headaches, migraines, and tension-type stress in the neck, jaw and upper back.

Improved Sleep - Many people report better sleep patterns after receiving Indian Head Massage treatments.

Detoxification - It can aid in the elimination of toxins from the body through improved lymphatic drainage.

Enhanced Mood - Regular sessions can lead to improved mood and a better sense of overall wellbeing.

Prior to treatment, the practitioner will carry out a consultation process to discuss medical history, your personal requirements and answer any questions you may have.

A traditional Indian Head Massage treatments is carried out in a relaxing environment seated in a comfortable low back chair. The therapist will use a variety of techniques, including effleurage, petrissage, and gentle tapping, to work on your shoulders, upper back, arms, neck and scalp.

The session usually lasts around 45 minutes to an hour, providing a deeply relaxing experience.

Alternatively, I offer treatment on a seated onsite massage chair which excludes treatment of the face and arms, focusing attention on the upper back, shoulders, neck and scalp.

Indian Head Massage stimulates blood flow to the treated areas and stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system which slows our heart and breathing rates, lowers blood pressure and promotes digestion. Massage pressure and technique will be discussed to the clients liking and objectives, but many report feelings of deep relaxation, relief of muscular tension and headaches, and relief of mental fatigue. Overall, Indian Head Massage can be a very relaxing and calming experience.
