What is an Indian Head Massage?

 

As implied by the name, the Indian Head Massage is a form of

​

massage therapy created in India thousands of years ago.

 

It is deep style massage derived from the Ayurvedic tradition that

 

focuses on the head, shoulders and neck.

 

Through a variety of different techniques, the massage works to

 

release any blocked negative energy in the body that may be

 

manifesting itself as disease or injury in any one of the main seven

 

Chakras (energy centres) of the body. It does so by applying

 

pressure to certain points on the neck, shoulders and head that

 

correspond to each Chakra (which is a similar approach to that of

 

reflexology). This unblocks the Chakras, and allows for a free flow of

 

energy around the body, restoring the individual to optimum health

 

and feelings of wellbeing.

What to Expect From an Indian Head Massage

 

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.

 

Starting at the upper back, I begin by applying pressure to points that

 

dissolve knots and relax the muscles. I then move to the shoulders

 

and upper arms to release other common 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,  you

​

may choose to recieve a gentle face massage that may relieve

 

symptoms of sinusitis & headaches, and encourages good circulation

 

and a glowing complexion.

 

An Indian Head Massage may prove beneficial by:

​

​

Relieving built up tension that can often result in headaches,

 

migraines, neck and back pain.

​
