Indian head massage A form of massage that originated from the Indian Sub-continent. Ideal for people who suffer stress, tension headaches and shoulder aches. The massage covers more than just the head and involves friction and pressure movements whilst sitting in a comfortable position. The massage helps stimulate the body’s natural Chi energy as well as release tension and disperse toxins from the scalp, facial muscles, shoulders, neck and arms. The scalp is thoroughly massaged to help stimulate blood supply and ease the tension often associated with headaches. Find out more: See Massage, Swedish Body Massage.
