What is Indian Head Massage? |
|
| |
Indian Head Massage works on both physical and mental levels, leaving you relaxed, refreshed and alert.The treatment involves massage and acupressure techniques to the areas most vulnerable to stress and tension on upper back, arms, neck, head and face. This relaxes the areas but, at the same time, helps to rebalance the energy, clearing any areas of negativity.The last stage of the treatment involves balancing the upper chakras. This allows for a deeper level of healing.

Chakras |
|

Scalp massage increases blood flow around the head, with obvious benefits to your thought processes as well as hair condition. This massage also works on the 3 highest chakras (energy channels), related to self-expression, intuition, wisdom and awareness. |

What happens during a treatment? |
|
| |
After an initial consultation, you will be left to remove your top half of clothing and wrap yourself in a warm towel. You will be seated on a comfortable chair for the treatment. As mentioned already, the areas worked on will incorporate the upper back, arms, neck, head and face, and finally the balancing of the chakras. Natural oils will be used depending on your particular needs and if you prefer, oil does not have to be used on the hair (for example if you are going back to work after treatment). Feel free to completely relax during the treatment, rest your eyes and enjoy the soothing music. |
