Based on the ancient healing system of Ayurveda, Indian Head Massages have been practised for over a thousand years and are still ever popular today with many of my clients booking regular treatments to combat stress, anxiety and headaches.
The treatment also can be given to clients with or without oils so the client has the option of remaining fully clothed if that is their choice. The Indian Head Massage is a deep massage to the head, neck and shoulders and uses different strokes and techniques to work with the body's seven Chakra points, releasing tension, encouraging balance and giving healing to the whole body.
Although this ancient practice dates back over a thousand years in India, it was introduced to the western world by an Osteopath, Narendra Mehta. He had come to the UK to study Physiotherapy and was surprised to see that head massage was not sufficiently practised over here and he introduced the therapy to us in 1981.
Indian Head Massage truly is a holistic therapy as it seeks to rebalance the mind, body and spirit together, giving psychological benefits, relieving emotional stress, anxiety and depression and physical benefits too. The massage boosts the blood flow and circulation and some clients notice a difference to their hair volume and shine and their skin appearance and condition. AS the muscles relax this can benefit the respiratory system and it also aids restful sleep and clear thinking. There is even reports that it can help the memory!
