What Is Indian Head Massage?

Indian Head Massage is an extremely effective therapy that has evolved from traditional techniques practised in India as part of family rituals for over a thousand years. The treatment involves massage through the clothes to the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, face and scalp, with the client remaining seated in an upright position. Although Indian Head Massage has been in existence in India for many years it has only recently started to gain popularity in the West.

This massage works on particular areas of the body, especially the neck and the shoulders where stress affects major muscle groups, and it often brings immediate relief. Tensions are eased and fibrous knots and nodules melt away. The efficiency of the circulatory and lymphatic systems improves, toxins are dispersed from tense muscles and flexibility and fluidity of movement is restored.

An Indian Head Massage generally starts with the client sitting in a comfortable chair for the duration of the massage, ideally wearing a camisole or vest top with thin straps. Treatment normally begins with a deep kneading and probing of the neck and shoulder muscles, at times similar to osteopathy but with no crunching or cracking of joints. The head is then worked with the scalp being squeezed, rubbed, gently tapped and prodded. The hair is briskly tussled and gently combed. Pressure points are gently worked on and the ears are tugged and pressed. Lastly the practitioner moves to the face, working with acupressure points to help relieve any sinus pressure, stimulate the circulation and increase alertness. As the massage proceeds the client will relax and breathe more deeply, and can release suppressed emotions and negative energy, making room for more positive feelings. This simple massage has a powerful energy and is of real benefit to the receiver. It is both subtle and deep, leaving the client feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.
