Indian head massage is an extremely effective therapy that has evolved from a traditional technique practiced in India as part of family rituals for over a thousand years. The treatment involves massage to the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, face, and scalp, with the client remaining seated in an upright position. Although Indian head massage has been in existence in India for many years it has only recently started to gain popularity in the west.

This massage works on significant areas of the body, especially the neck and the shoulders where stress affects major muscle groups, and it often brings immediate relief. Tensions are eased and fibrous knots and nodules melt away. The efficiency of the circulatory and lymphatic system improves, toxins are dispersed from tense muscles, and flexibility and fluidity of movement are restored.
