"Too much of a good thing is wonderful" Mae West
What is Indian Head Massage?
Indian Head Massage is an ancient therapy traditionally practiced by Indian families
who would pass on the knowledge down through each successive generation. Like
so many of the therapies we now know as complementary therapies, this treatment
has been brought to the West in recent years and can now be enjoyed by so many
more people.

Traditional Indian Head Massage was practiced on the hair and scalp, however the more modern practice
tends to focus on the whole upper back, neck, shoulders and upper arms in addition to the head, face and
scalp. These areas tend to be the centre of stress and tension which eventually causes pain and other
conditions such as Headaches, Anxiety and Insomnia.

What Can I Expect From a Treatment?
The treatment usually takes place with the client seated and can be carried out either fully clothed or with
just the shoulders and neck uncovered. Massage Oil or an aromatherapy blend can be used, or not as
preferred, and this can be discussed before the treatment takes place. Starting with the upper back, upper
arms and neck, a variety of massage techniques are used to warm the muscles, increase the circulation of
blood to muscles and joints and work on areas of tension to reduce pain and stiffness. The treatment then
continues with massage of the scalp and hair which releases tension and calms the emotions. Finishing with
a relaxing massage of the face with attention to pressure points and lymphatic drainage, the treatment
should leave the client feeling relaxed yet energised and uplifted.

Indian Head Massage is a holistic treatment, and therefore aims to treat the "whole
person " rather than any symptoms. For this reason, I carry out a short consultation
with some medical and lifestyle information, with all new clients before any treatment
can take place. This ensures that you get the best from your treatment and that there
is a minimum of risk if there are any pre-existing medical conditions.
Regular treatments help to balance the body and maintain good health, as well as
being a relaxing treat!
