Eastern Head/Shoulder Massage &
Indian Head Massage
This is no ordinary massage it is a whole therapy in its own right. It is applied to the head, including the face, the shoulders, neck and upper arms. It is usually performed fully clothed, however many materials detract from its efficacy, so it is best to wear a cotton t-shirt. If an oil massage is required then it may be better to remove the top to prevent staining. Eastern Head and Shoulder massage originated in India as part of the Ayuvedic System of medicine but has changed as other influences has been absorbed into it. Indian Head Massage is a blissfully relaxing form of Holistic massage that anyone can benefit from.
The treatment will usually begin with a hard kneading of the shoulders and neck muscles. This is followed by work on the scalp, the hair may be gently pulled or tugged and combed by some practitioners. Next the face and ears are massaged and acupressure points are stimulated. Further work is then carried out.
This is a fantastic treatment for stress, insomnia, sinusitis, headaches and general welbeing. It makes the head and face more relaxed and making the person feel happier and healthier.
Different practitioners have different methods of work but they all give the same results.
