Indian Head Massage
 
To reduce pain or tension specifically in the upper body. To calm and refresh the mind.
The ideal stress-buster for today’s busy lifestyle.

What is Indian Head Massage?

Traditionally in the Far East (particularly in India) head massage is an enjoyable part of social & family gatherings with strokes and techniques passed down from generation to generation.

In Britain we now use Indian Head Massage to combat tension focused specifically in the upper body. Here a treatment might expand to include work on the back, neck, shoulders, the upper arms, face and scalp.

Why use it?

Headaches & tiredness around the eyes, poor posture & increased irritability are frequent causes of concern for deskbound clients, clients studying for exams, clients working at computer screens and also those spending a lot of time driving.

The type of massage you receive will depend on your needs that day - which will be established in our consultation.

Indian Head Massage can help to relieve muscular tension, ease stiffness in the neck & shoulders and thus improve flexibility & circulation in the upper body. A physical release of tension brings with it a positive effect on the mind – helping to put things back into perspective and restoring calm.

Even a short massage can be used as an invigorating “stress-buster” leaving your mind refreshed & ready to focus once more.

The session itself

Indian Head Massage is a versatile treatment - you may receive it whilst seated or lying down. I can perform the seated massage through clothing (no oils necessary) or using blended oils applied to the skin to create a more relaxing treatment.

If you have requested a seated treatment using oils I will ask you to remove your upper body wear and wrap your torso in the large towel provided. I allow time for you to undress/dress in privacy.

For seated treatments I provide a fully adjustable on-site massage chair ensuring excellent support & optimum comfort throughout your session.

Reclining sessions are oil based - large towels will be provided for your modesty and comfort. Treatments take place on the massage couch.

If you wish to discuss which booking would be appropriate for you please call me at:
0114 2669280

Depending on your requirements (we can make the treatment purely relaxing or more invigorating) the session would include use of draining strokes, brisk friction & acupressure point stimulation.

The aim is to leave you feeling refreshed and rebalanced – back in control of life.

Following your session I suggest you take a few minutes to drink some cool water before returning to the day ahead.
