Indian Head massage is a standalone 45 minute treatment that is very popular with clients. The treatment involves massage techniques being applied to the upper back, shoulders, neck, arms, face, head and scalp areas, usually whilst they are in a seated or forward leaning position. It is excellent for relieving stress and tension to these areas which can therefore help with headaches, eye strain, and pain and discomfort. It also leads to general feelings of wellbeing and calm.
