Indian head massage: £35 (30mins)

Indian head massage is a relatively recent treatment in the West and is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing.

 

This lovely massage has been popular for centuries in India where it is part of the upbringing of children. The massage takes place with the client fully clothed, seated in a chair and can be performed with or without the use of aromatic oils. It involves a workout for the neck, shoulders and upper back, massage of the scalp and tussling of the hair which helps circulation and stimulates acupressure points in the upper body and the head.

 

The aim is to release the stress that has accumulated in the tissues, muscles and joints. Indian head massage can assist in increasing joint mobility to the neck and shoulders, replacing connective tissues, freeing knots of muscular tension and it helps to eliminate the accumulation of toxins and waste products. Indian head massage is excellent for reducing the effects of stress and tension within the mind and body.
