Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage, as its name would suggest, originated in India, however, the traditional style didn't include just the head, but the neck, shoulders and upper back as well. This makes it perfect for targeting these common problem areas where most people hold their tension. These areas are of particular interest as modern life, office jobs, desk work and other similar activities greatly contribute to related posture problems and pain.
​
During an Indian Head Massage, it is common to be fully clothed and seated, something a bit unique compared to other massage disciplines.
​
Indian Head Massage is found within the ancient Hindu system of health and wellbeing: Ayurveda. There is a focus on stimulating circulation to bring nourishment and remove toxins and negative energy. Traditionally, there is a spiritual aspect to Indian Head Massage and the belief the practice can help to clear the upper Chakras of blockages, and thus the lower ones too.
