Did you know that Indian Head Massage involves massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck and face too?
Many people, having only heard the name, think it is just a head massage, but it's much more.
The reason massage of the upper back, shoulders and neck is incorporated into the routine is because of the nature of tension- if the head alone was massaged, the benefits wouldn't go on for very long, because of our tendancy to hold tension in our shoulders and necks.
By having this tension massaged away, the full benefits of the relaxing head massage can be felt- and continue on after the treatment itself.
Benefits of Indian Head Massage:
The best thing to do is experience it for yourself. We all take time out of our busy, stressful lives to make ourselves look good- most of us will go to the hairdressers, put make-up on, get our nails done, etc. But our bodies, and our emotions, need taking care of too. Indian Head Massage is a lovely relaxing treatment that has many benefits, both emotional and physical.
Physical Benefits Include:
General and specific relaxation for muscles, providing immediate relief
Fibrous adhesions (knots of tension to you and me) can be broken down. (These knots often create referred pain in headaches, neck-aches, and general stiffness and soreness).
Disperses toxins from tense, knotted muscles. (When muscles get tense and form these knots, they hold on to toxins, which get trapped. Breaking down the knots allows the toxins to be released through the lymph and the blood flow).
Relief from acute and chronic neck and shoulder stiffness
Loosens the scalp (good for headache sufferers).
Relaxes the whole body
Improves blood circulation in previously congested muscles
Provides additional oxygen to the brain- so can relieve fatigue and 'fuggy headedness'.
Stimulates and improves the circulation of the lymphatic system, allowing for the disposal of toxins from the body
Restores joint mobility
Provides relief from disorders such as earache, eye strain, tinnitus, aching jaw from clenching or grinding teeth, sinusitis, headache and migraine.
