Indian Head Massage
Why Should I Choose Indian Head Massage?
What is Indian Head Massage?
Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing system, a holistic healing system using natural therapies and encompassing the mind, body and spirit. An Indian Head Massage is a treatment that involves the therapist kneading, rubbing, squeezing and stroking the body's tissues and muscles. Its aim is to restore harmony and balance to the body and mind. Oils can be used to enhance the treatment and these will also help to keep the hair conditioned, strong and healthy.
History of Indian Head Massage
The ancient therapy of Indian Head Massage has been practised in India for over 3000 years. The tradition is passed down through families and by the age of six or seven, children are taught to share in the family tradition of massage. Each family will have their own specific routine which they pass down, so there is no formal structure. Indian Head Massage within the home is usually practised by women, whereas massage outside of the home is usually performed by men, taking place in the market, street corners, barbers or even on the beach! Mothers will massage their babies every day and children are massaged every day. The massage helps to promote good physical, emotional and spiritual health.
Benefits of Indian Head Massage
The Treatment
A full Indian Head Massage treatment takes between 30-45 minutes. This will involve a relaxing, tension-reducing and overall therapeutic massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck, arms, scalp and face. This can be adapted to omit any of the above. It is also possible to offer a “quickie” treatment lasting about 10 minutes for those of you in a rush but in need of a little TLC. You can choose from a variety of oils, depending on your requirements, or if preferred, or necessary, the treatment can be given over clothing. You can also decide whether to receive the treatment sitting on a chair, lying over a massage bed or in an Indian Head Acupressure chair for a deeper massage. It will balance your chakras and soothe your soul.
Restrictions
A consultation will take place before any treatment is undertaken. Please ensure that you highlight any medical history or current problems to myself during your initial consultation as certain conditions will require modification or non-treatment. Some common conditions to bring to my attention with regards to Indian Head Massage are:
Migraine sufferers, Skin disorders, Whip lash, High/low blood pressure, Epilepsy, Thrombosis/ embolism, Diabetes, Recent haemorrhage, Nut allergies, Recent operations, Diabetes, Dysfunctions of the nervous system.
