Indian Head Massage
Indian Head massage is based upon the traditional Ayurvedic system of healing. It is a massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face and is performed with the client seated in a chair in an upright position, and remaining fully clothed. This is a gentle and relaxing massage which incorporates acupressure points on the upper back and head areas. It is a good treatment for anyone who wants to simply experience a deep sense of calm and relaxation, and is also suitable for any person experiencing accumulation of tension or discomfort in the upper back and neck areas. A treatment usually lasts between 30 and 40 minutes.
This therapy is particularly beneficial for individuals who are experiencing stress or anxiety, those who have headaches due to tension, or are carrying mild to moderate muscular tension in the upper body. It is a good therapy for relieving insomnia, migraine, sinusitis, shoulder and neck tension, fatigue, or general lethargy.
Although this is a more gentle treatment it is still effective in relaxing the connective tissue to these areas, improving circulation and lymphatic flow, and eliminating painful muscle tightness in these areas. It is particularly useful in promoting a sense of calm and relaxation.
