What is Indian Head Massage?

It comes from India, where it’s an important part of family life, even for children, who practise on granny from the age of 6! It’s been around in India for 4000 years or so, and is beginning to appear in the west, in a modified form as part of stress management programmes.

It’s a combination of friction and pressure massage to the upper back, shoulders, neck, upper arms, head and face and is non-invasive. it can be done through clothing, sitting in an office chair, completely clothed. Because it works on the areas most vulnerable to stress and tension, it becomes a complete body de-stressor.
