This a treatment to lift you out of the stresses of daily life and provide you with a cure for those aching and tense neck and shoulder muscles. If you are feeling tired and stressed, tension can accumulate in your neck and shoulder areas. An Indian Head Massage can help un-knot the blockages and relieve the build up of tension. When the physical, mental and emotional elements of our bodies are out of balance we then need some help to return the harmony and comfort back into our lives. Indian Head Massage works on the back, shoulders, neck, arms, head and face. Head and facial massage make up the main part of this very popular treatment. You will feel the tension disappear from these areas after the treatment. The circulatory and lymphatic systems will work more efficiently in these areas eliminating toxin build up and any energy trapped in the muscles will be released, encouraging better blood flow. Relaxing and therapeutic, Indian Head Massage is ideal for stress and tension, headaches, migraines and a host of other stress related ailments.
Originating, as the name suggests, in the East, Indian Head Massage works on the physical, mental and emotional states. It focuses on the upper body, the areas most vulnerable to stress and tension. It is a wonderful and beneficial treatment for distressing the whole body. It disperses toxins from tense, knotted muscles, improves blood circulation in previously congested muscles, and helps re-oxygenate our brain. It also helps with eye-strain, tinnitus, jaw aches, allergies and sinusitis. It aids sleep and stimulates the lymphatic drainage system of our body.
Indian Head Massage induces a state of calm, peace and tranquility and promotes high levels of alertness and concentration. The massage can be done with or without oils depending on the clients wishes. It can be performed over clothes, so it is ideal for people who are shy or nervous, but all jewellery must be removed (so this is an ideal treatment to fit in during your lunch break!) The recipient sits in a chair especially designed for providing Indian Head Massage. Before the treatment can take place the therapist will do an initial consultation where the client is asked about their medical history, health and lifestyle. Treatments usually last approximately 45 minutes.
