Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is a form of massage created in India thousands of years ago. Derived from the Ayurvedic tradition of focusing on the head, shoulders and neck there are a variety of different techniques. Releasing blocked negative energy in the body that may be manifesting itself as disease or injury in any one of the seven Chakras (energy centres) of the body. By applying pressure to certain points on the neck, shoulders and head that correspond to each Chakra (similar to reflexology) the Chakras unblock and allow free flow of energy around the body, restoring an individual to optimum health and feelings of wellbeing.
An Indian Head massage is the ideal way to get a person “out of their head”, far far away from everyday emotional and mental stress. The massage usually goes between 25 – 45 minutes, and may or may not use certain oils in the hair and on the body.
Starting at the upper back, the masseuse begins by applying pressure to points that dissolve knots and relax the muscles. The shoulders and upper arms are then released of areas of tension, and to the neck and head to release headache-causing blockages and to encourage better circulation of the cerebral fluid
The massage then progresses to the scalp, relaxing the entire head, encouraging circulation and stimulating hair growth. Lastly, the masseuse may choose to perform a gentle face massage that may relieve symptoms of sinusitis & headaches, and encourages good circulation and a glowing complexion.
