Indian-head massage oscillates between invigorating and deeply relaxing and concentrates on the upper back, shoulders, neck, and head. This soothing treatment not only relieves stress but also enhances mental clarity, increases scalp circulation, and nourishes the hair.
Indian-Head Massage can help to prevent back pain, tension headaches and migraines, promote hair growth, improve sleep, and relieve symptoms of anxiety or depression.
*This massage is seated rather than lying down and is therefore a great option for those who find lying on their front uncomfortable.
**Traditionally used as a deep scalp and hair treatment, the warm oil can be poured onto the scalp. A disposable towel is then provided to wrap the hair and conceal the oil if this is required. Alternatively, you can choose to have this treatment without oil, it is still beneficial for the scalp as circulation is increased and tension is released.
