Indian Head Massage

 

Indian Head Massage is a traditional therapeutic practice rooted in the ancient Ayurvedic system of healing, developed in India over a thousand years ago. It focuses on the upper body—specifically the head, neck, shoulders, upper back and face—where stress and tension often accumulate.

​

The massage uses a combination of firm and gentle techniques, including kneading, rhythmic tapping, and circular motions, to release tension, improve circulation, and encourage lymphatic drainage. 

​

Indian Head Massage is deeply relaxing and is known to help relieve headaches, eye strain, neck stiffness, insomnia, and mental fatigue. It also stimulates the scalp, which can promote healthy hair growth. Beyond physical relief, it is said to balance energy flow and leave recipients with a sense of calm and mental clarity.

​

No clothing needs to be removed for this extremely relaxing treatment and no oils are used. It is normally carried with the client seated on a chair, however, it can be adapted to be done with the client laying on a treatment couch.
