Frequently asked
What is Indian head massage good for?
Indian head massage is particularly effective for tension headaches, tight shoulders from desk work, mental fatigue, and stress-related tightness in the neck and upper back. The scalp massage also stimulates circulation to the scalp and can leave the mind feeling quieter and clearer.
Do I need to undress for Indian head massage?
No. Indian head massage is performed on the upper back, shoulders, neck and scalp over light clothing, with no oils used on the body. It is a fully clothed treatment, easy to fit into a working day.
Does Indian head massage help with headaches?
Yes. Many tension headaches originate from tightness in the shoulders, neck and jaw rather than the head itself. Indian head massage works directly on these areas to release the underlying tension, which often provides significant relief from tension-type headaches.
