What happens in a treatment?
An Indian Head Massage generally starts with the client sitting in a comfortable chair for the duration of the massage.
There is no need to remove clothing although it should be noted that a cotton top or T shirt is probably the most comfortable thing to be wearing. Some clients prefer to remove their top to prevent any oil staining.
Treatment normally begins with a deep kneading and probing of the neck and shoulder muscles. The head is then worked with the scalp being squeezed, rubbed, gently tapped and prodded. The hair is briskly tussled and gently combed.
Pressure points are gently worked on and the ears are tugged and pressed. Lastly the practitioner moves to the face, working with acupressure points to help relieve any sinus pressure, stimulate the circulation and increase alertness. The face is also very gently stroked.
