Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage has a history deeply rooted in the traditions of Ayurveda, the ancient system of natural healing that originated in India over 5,000 years ago.

It not only addresses physical tension but also promotes relaxation, mental clarity, and overall well-being.

Indian Head Massage is a relaxing treatment that focuses on the upper back, neck and shoulders, face and head. Massage pressure can be adjusted to your preference and a nourishing hair oil is optional.

It is an ideal treatment for anyone in need of de-stressing but especially those with screen based jobs. Massage targets all the main areas of tension and can help tight, sore muscles, eye strain, sinus congestion, anxiety and headaches.

Benefits of Indian Head Massage

Stress Reduction

The massage helps to alleviate stress and tension by promoting relaxation in the muscles of the head, neck, and shoulders. It can also have a calming effect on the nervous system.

Improved Circulation

The manipulation of soft tissues during the massage can enhance blood circulation in the head and neck, potentially promoting better oxygen and nutrient supply to the tissues.

Headache and Migraine Relief

Indian Head Massage may help reduce the frequency and intensity of tension headaches and migraines by releasing tension in the muscles and promoting overall relaxation.

Better Sleep

The relaxation induced by the massage may contribute to improved sleep quality, making it beneficial for those struggling with insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns.

Relief from Neck and Shoulder Tension

The pressures used in the massage can release tension in the muscles of the neck and shoulders, providing relief from chronic stiffness and discomfort.

Sinus Congestion Relief

By promoting better circulation and drainage in the facial and sinus areas, the massage may help alleviate sinus pain and congestion.

Improved Concentration

Many individuals report improved mental clarity and concentration after an Indian Head Massage.

Relief from Eye Strain

For those who spend extended periods looking at screens or engaging in activities that strain the eyes, the massage can help reduce eye strain and promote relaxation in the eye muscles.

TMJ jaw tension

The massage can help relieve tension in the jaw, which can be beneficial for individuals experiencing discomfort due to teeth grinding or clenching.

Promotion of Hair and Scalp Health

The optional use of oils in the hair during the massage can contribute to the health of the scalp and hair by nourishing the hair follicles and improving blood circulation.

I have been coming to Alison for several years now for facials and despite having had facials at a few other places over the years, they are never as good! Alison is very talented! Not only is she knowledgeable and my skin is glowing after but I always feel so recharged too. I had previously thought the purpose of a facial was mainly to take care of my skin but I didn’t realise how relaxing it would be too. She always takes her time and the atmosphere is serene, feeling almost like a ritual. I wish I could treat myself more often!

Alison runs a very professional business. From the text received the day before your appointment as a reminder, to the wonderful relaxing massages. She has the whole package and I had the best night’s sleep I had in ages after my latest massage from her. I would highly recommend her for tired overworking bodies or those just wanting a treat.

I have been lucky enough to have experienced many different types of massage treatments both locally and worldwide but I believe that you would have to travel a long way indeed to find a massage therapist as gifted as Alison. Her personal, intuitive and holistic approach provides a thorough and effective massage.
