What is Indian Head Massage?

Indian head massage is a traditional technique of manipulating soft tissues in the shoulders and scalp. The therapist uses a range of different massage pressures and rhythms to stimulate the head and neck area. A typical massage lasts about 20 minutes.

The combination of techniques used

  • aids the circulatory, muscular and nervous systems
  • stimulates arterial circulation, and increases venous and lymphatic flow
  • reduces stress and can induce a feeling of euphoria
  • frees knots of muscular tension and relaxes connective tissue
  • stimulates the skin and underlying nerve endings
  • aids in the elimination of accumulated toxins and waste products
Indian head massage is particularly effective in addressing the effects of stress.
