Indian Head Massage (IHM)

As implied by the name, the Indian Head Massage is a form of massage therapy created in India thousands of years ago.  It is a deep style massage derived from the Ayurvedic tradition that focuses on the head, shoulders, and neck.

This treatment is a wonderful way to provide relaxation to the body and mind.  Indian head massage aims to release the stress that has accumulated in the tissues, muscles and joints of the head, face, neck and shoulders.

During the massage, the client remains seated and fully clothed.  Through a variety of different techniques, the massage works to release any blocked negative energy in the body that may be manifesting itself as disease or injury in any one of the seven Chakras (energy centres) of the body.  It does so by applying pressure to certain points on the neck, shoulders and head that correspond to each Chakra.  This treatment assists to unblock the Chakras, and allows for a free flow of energy around the body, assisting to restore emotional and physical wellbeing.

Indian Head Massage can promote relaxation, provide feelings of calm and a sense of peace. Also, IHM is used to relieve:

- eyestrain

- sinusitus

- insomnia

- headaches and migraine

- tension and fatigue

Indian Head Massage can stimulate the hair and scalp, improve blood circulation to the head and neck, improve lymphatic drainage from the neck and head, boost the immune system, balance the chakras, reduce feelings of stress and anxiety, alleviate mental tension, and is physically revitalising.

Indian Head Massage should not be used as an alternative to seeking medical advice.
