Indian Head Massage has been practised in India for over 1000 years. Traditionally the techniques were restricted to the head and hair, to improve scalp and hair condition of Indian women. Nowadays a system incorporating the upper back, shoulders, neck, upper arms and face, has evolved (developed by Norendra Mehta) in the belief that these are important energy centres in the body and by treating these the whole body can benefit.
Indian Head Massage is a safe, accessible, and convenient therapeutic treatment that can be performed either in the clinic or the workplace. Treatment can provide instant relief from tension and stress symptoms and induce a state of calm, peace and tranquillity and also promote high levels of alertness and concentration.
This simple yet effective therapy uses a variety of techniques to manipulate
soft tissue. It is performed with the client in a seated position, usually
through light clothing and without the use of oils. The therapist uses a range
of different massage pressures and rhythms to stimulate the head, neck, and
upper back and shoulder area. A typical
massage will last between 15 and 20 minutes.
