Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient Indian healing system called Ayurveda – the science of life. It is known to be the earliest recorded form of medical treatment dating back for thousands of years. It has played a very important role in Indian life as an important way of relieving pain and of promoting natural healing. 

Head massage is invigorating, uplifting and revitalizing working on the upper back, shoulders, scalp and face.

• Promotes a deep sense of relaxation

• Gives relief from headaches and migraines

• Encourages relaxation of the muscles in the head, neck and shoulders

• Improves concentration and memory

• Are oils are used in the massage treatment? 

  • Oil is used on shoulders, back and neck, but not on the head. If you do not wish to have any oil residue on your hair, please be sure to inform your therapist of this.

• Is the massage performed seated or lying down? 

  • During the Indian Head Massage, the client is lying down while the practitioner is standing or seated at the end of the massage table closest to the client’s head.

• Are deep tissue massage style pressure techniques used on the neck & shoulders? 

  • Yes, to get maximum tension relief and to help remove knots, deep tissue massage is used on the shoulder and neck areas. The pressure intensity is always uniquely tailored to suit each person.
