Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage originated in India over thousands of years ago and works on the Ayurvedic system of healing. The uses of this treatment is to release the stress which accumulates in the tissues, muscles and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders.
Traditionally this treatment is preformed with the client fully clothed and sat on a chair for the treatment to begin. The massage uses a range of different movements including deep kneading and compressions movements over the neck, shoulders and scalp.
Here at Spiritual hair and Beauty, we find this treatment very relaxing however we do also provide this treatment with the use of oils. For this the client will remove their top half of clothing and a towel is wrapped around them underneath their arms and then the client will take a seat on the chair. We found that many of our clients found it much more relaxing having the use of oils within their treatment, although clients do have the choice to either have the use of oils during their massage treatment, or they can take the traditional route and have the massage over the top of their clothing. You will also have the chance to decide if you would like the use of oil within the hair.
The treatment can take 20minutes or for a more relaxation you can have the 40minutes. The massage begins on the shoulders including the back, which is only the upper half of the back, moving onto the upper arms and shoulders and then to the neck, finishing with the relaxing scalp massage.
