 The
traditional art of Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient art
of medicine known as Ayurveda, which has been practised for thousands
of years in India. Ayurveda is recorded as the world’s oldest
Indian healing system. It comes from Anskrit and means the science
of life and longevity. The Ayurveda approach to health is balance
of body, mind and spirit and the promotion of long life.
During this treatment, the head, upper back, neck and face is massaged.
It relaxes the muscles, encourages oxygen and nutrients to the tissues,
relieves tension from pressure points and may help alleviate sinus
congestion and encourage lymph drainage. It is usually considered
effective in relieving pressure and tension in the head, neck and
shoulders. It may help combat anxiety by working on a physical,
mental and subtle level with the aim to promote relaxation and feelings
of well-being.
The upper part of the body is particularly vulnerable to stress
and poor posture. Tension often accumulates in the neck, shoulders
and head. Because of this, massage of these specific areas has a
very potent effect, helping relax the whole body.
Head & Shoulder Massage does not require removal of clothing,
and using oils is not essential, making this an ideal treatment
break in an otherwise busy working day. You can receive this therapy
whilst wearing comfortable clothing, tops, t-shirts or shirts, but
mainly avoiding big collars, hoods or items such as thick knitwear.
You may also receive a head and shoulder massage treatment using
one of a selection of possible oils.
This treatment may help with general relaxation and stress management,
and for general neck or shoulder tension. The therapist carries
out the treatment while you sit on a chair, fully clothed. It is
suitable for both men and women. Clients usually state that at the
end of the treatment the whole body feels relaxed and revitalised
and you are left with a deep sense of peace and tranquillity.
The cost of a Head & Shoulder Massage is £23 a session.
