As the name suggests, this form of massage therapy originated in India approximately 2000 BC and falls under the practice of ‘Ayurvedic’ therapy – an ancient alternative form of healing. Originally developed by holy men (Rishis) from the Himalayan region of India, Indian Head Massage helps to relieve stress and pains related to the neck, head, and shoulders i.e. stiffness, headaches, and eyestrain.
Typically, an Indian Head Massage begins with the upper back, shoulder blades and shoulders as most people hold a lot of tension in these areas. Following this, flowing motions will move towards the neck massaging and stretching to relieve tension and alleviate stress. Finally, the practitioner providing the massage will focus on the scalp and face, targeting acupressure points around the forehead and eyes.
Like other forms of massage therapy, Indian Head Massage provides various benefits both physical and psychological. These may include.
