indian head massage

this treatment originated in india and has been used for centuries as a means of stress relief. traditional indian head massage was restricted to the head and hair, however with westernisation intervention, the therapy now includes areas of the upper back, neck, shoulders and upper arms.   

both the head and neck hold tension and stress and indian head massage addresses these areas. it helps disperse toxins, improves circulation and promotes a feeling of well-being. 

massaging the back, shoulders, head and neck relaxes and soothes sore and tense muscles, reducing fatigue and greatly improving circulation. this type of massage is deeply relaxing and helps balance the bodies energy flow. (chakras)
