Indian
Head
​Massage

Traditional Indian Head Massage treatments have been practised in India for thousands of years as part of their ancient system for health and medicine. This ancient system is known as Ayurveda and means "the science of life and longevity". The Ayurvedic theory is that mind, body and spirit should be in balance and it promotes health, beauty and a long life.

​There are many benefits of Indian Head Massage. These include increased blood and lymph flow through the muscles of the whole body which helps to clear toxins, the release of muscle tension and inflammation, improves the circulation to (and the condition of) the skin and hair, increases oxygen and releases endorphins in the brain and improves the flow of energy through the body as a whole, much like Reiki.

​Many people can benefit from Indian Head Massage but there are some restrictions. People with spine and neck problems or anyone with recent surgery to the head, neck and back areas are excluded from this treatment. Anyone with infections, high fever or acute infectious diseases will not be able to have the treatment until they are well due to the risk of cross infection and also it may spread any localised infection around the whole body. Clients with other conditions may have the treatment with caution and consultation with their GP, these include anyone with high or low blood pressure (because of the effects of the massage on blood pressure), people with cancer, diabetes or epilepsy and anyone who has recently had an operation. A full medical history will be taken prior to the start of the treatment to ensure that you will get the best treatment while maintaining your physical safety and it is important that ALL significant information is shared with the therapist.

​During the treatment you will be sat in a chair, leaning on your forearms against a table or the side of the treatment couch. The therapist will be stood behind you and most of the treatment is carried out in this position. You do not have to remove any clothing (unless it is tight) if you do not wish but, to benefit fully from the experience, it is advisable to have your shoulders uncovered and relaxing oils applied direct to the skin. Please also be aware that the treatment does involve a hair, scalp and face massage so please reschedule your appointment if you have just had your hair done (as it won't look salon ready when the treatment has finished!)

​After the treatment you will have a short time to recover. Indian Head Massage is very relaxing and you will need a few moments to gather yourself again. It is worth noting that this treatment can make you quite emotional so do not be surprised if you suddenly burst into tears. Your aftercare and wellbeing will be discussed during this time, to ensure you are able to get the best from the treatment and its aftereffects.

​If you are looking to have this treatment or have any questions about this, please do not hesitate to contact us.
