Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage has been practised for thousands of years
in India. Although it is called 'head' massage the therapy goes further
than the scalp. It works on the upper back, shoulders and neck and is a
wonderful way to de-stress these areas where a great deal of tension is
created often from working over a desk or a computer or from heavy
lifting.
As the treatment also massages the scalp and face it can
provide relief for sufferers of insomnia, tension headaches, migraine,
sinus problems, eye strain, tinnitus, and Temporo Mandibular Jaw
tension (caused by grinding teeth) while giving a relaxing facial. It
is a good treatment for someone who is new to massage as it is done
sitting in a chair and can be performed over light clothing. It can
also be performed using oils directly onto the skin and /or hair.
Despite being performed only on the upper body, the treatment
brings calm to the whole body relieving stress, improving circulation
and lymph flow and improving the condition of the hair. The treatment
can take only � hr for people in a hurry or can be extended to a longer
treatment with an arm and hand massage for total pampering.
