Indian head massage is a system of healing practised in India for many centuries and is a therapy working on the muscular tissues of the neck, head, shoulders scalp and face to relax, release stress and stimulate the body.

Treatment is carried out with the client either sitting fully clothed, or if used as part of a full Thai massage, in a lying position and usually lasts from thirty to forty five minutes. The therapist will use deep kneading of the neck and shoulder muscles with the head worked on and the scalp being squeezed and rubbed with the hair being gently pulled, tussled and combed. Finally the therapist will stimulate and work on the acupressure points in the face to help relieve sinus pressure and gently pull and massage the ears.

Stress in our daily life often builds up and causes tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches and irritability. Indian head massage will mobilize the tissues and therefore increase flexibility of the neck and shoulders, improving blood flow and eliminate muscular knots and accumulated toxins and waste products.

The sense of peace, calm and deep relaxation will follow treatment and once the massage has been completed, the client should relax and rest for at least fifteen minutes.
