Indian Head Massage 45mins - £45

A gentle but stimulating stress release therapy

During an Indian head massage treatment, the thin layer of muscle covering the skull becomes relaxed and thus improves blood flow to the brain and scalp. This is extremely effective in relieving stress, inducing relaxation and enabling clearer thinking. This treatment includes a neck and shoulder massage, followed by a reviving scalp massage to improve circulation and to relax you, finishing with a soothing face massage using pressure points and drainage techniques to help ease headaches and sinus problems. This treatment also contributes to balancing the chakras, the energy centres throughout the body, treating the areas related to the three upper chakras. Clients often achieve an overall sense of well-being and report improvements in conditions such as headaches, sinusitis and throat problems.
