Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is extremely effective in preventing and alleviating common tension headaches and can help those suffering from migraine. It is an excellent methof for relasing any stiffness and knots in the neck, shoulder and upper back, as well as loosening and stimulating the scalp to improve circulation and the condition of the hair and skin. On a more general level these sessions help to relieve everyday stresses and tension, to release and eliminate toxins that build up around the muscles and joints, and to promote a state of self healing and health in both mind and body.
Indian Head Massage is especially good for relieving stress, tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraine and sinusitis. Clients report that the experience is deeply calming and relaxing, leaving them feeling energised and revitalised and better able to concentrate.
What does a session involve?
The client, fully clothed, sits in a chair for the treatment. The therapist uses a range of different movements including application of deep kneading and compression movements over the neck, shoulder, upper back and scalp areas. In addition, the therapist will also gently stimulate and stroke pressure pints on the face. The session will usually last about 45 minutes, and we like our clients to si quietly for a few minutes once the massage ha been completed.
What are the side effects and when should it be avoided?
Indian Head Massage should be avoided if you have had recent surgery, or a head or neck injury, a history of thrombosis or embolism. If you have high or low blood pressure. If you suffer from epilepsy, any kind of heart condition, cancer or osteoporosis, please talk to your doctor before arranging a treatment. Always make sure that you avoid alcohol for at least five hours before the treatment.
Following a treatment some clients experience tiredness, dizziness, and increased desire to urinate (as the body eliminates toxins and waste materials) or aching muscles. All of these side effects usually last for no more than a few hours, after which clients generally experience increased energy and alertness.
