Head Massage

HEAD MASSAGE

Many people spend hours of each day hunched over a computer screen or sitting in the traffic, risking chronic nerve damage to their necks and shoulders. Poor posture and long working hours without adequate breaks can worsen muscle pain. A head massage usually includes a massage of the neck, back, shoulders and scalp, thus relieving pain and tension in these areas.

The people of India have incorporated head massage as part of a holistic medicine for generations.
Traditionally, an Indian head masseur would begin by balancing one's healing energy in a step called "chakra balancing" in order to encourage positive feelings. He or she would then massage the upper back, shoulders and neck and thereafter progress to massaging the scalp and temples in a gentle, circular motion.

A head massage should take at least 45 minutes to complete. A scalp massage that is too hard can cause a headache or even more tension, so make sure your therapist knows if you want a light, medium or deep massage.
