Indian Head Massage, Reflexology & Massage for relaxation and wellbeing

Indian Head Massage Indian Head massage is a treatment originating from traditional Indian techniques which have been practiced in families for may thousands of years. It balances and harmonises the energy systems within the body, promoting relaxation and self-healing . The Practitioner uses massage techniques to work on the energy meridians in the upper back, shoulders, neck, head and face using a small amount of aromatherapy oil.

Indian Head Massage is normally carried out on bare skin using oils, you will be seated in a massage chair with a towel around your body at chest height (trousers/skirts etc are left on). You can use a massage couch if this is more relaxing for you. Indian Head Massage can also be done keeping your upper body clothed if you prefer, but it is not as relaxing and some of the benefits from the oils will be lost.

Reflexology can help alleviate symptoms from heart and lung diseases and is also useful in treating strokes, and chronic conditions such as arthritis and multiple sclerosis. Chronic conditions will need top-up sessions to maintain maximum results. Psychological effects Relaxation Reflexology helps to reduce stress and induces deep relaxation. We all experience different kinds and levels of stress in our daily lives. Generally we all cope well with it, but it becomes a problem when we are unable to rationalise it or employ coping mechanisms to combat stress.

Some will experience invigorating energy boosts, and others will feel the calming soothing flow of serene energy.
