Overview

Indian Head massages are a great way to relax from within, as the name indicates it was first originated from India and it is considered as a traditional practice over 1,000 of years ago and also now it is immensely popular among the western culture. This is due to its simplicity that gives holistic relaxation and wellness for people of all ages.

How does it work?

Traditional Indian head massage uses a sequence of massage techniques and pressure which is applied to specific Marma points. These points access the nerve through the head, neck, and upper body by bringing increased energy flow to 3 chakras(energy centers) between the eyes and on the crown. The session starts with few basic techniques to comfort you before proceeding with the head massage therapy such as applying warm oil, detangling the hair, and massage on reflex points with pressure on the head. Our therapist adapts the soothing therapy with a special touch to heal the illness physically, mentally, and spiritually, and also applies gentle pressure with fingers to stimulate the nerves within your scalp and forehead by giving deep relaxation to the entire mind and body.

Session Includes

• An eco-friendly and luxurious ambience with a comfortable room temperature placed with some candles, dim lights and mild soothing music in the background will be arranged to prepare you for the session. Our therapist will begin the session with a detailed explanation of what they will be doing, and also asks you to inform them about occurrence of any discomfort or pain during the session.
• First, the therapist will take the position by standing just right behind you and place the hands on your shoulder by giving a gentle massage and ask you to take deep breaths for 3-5 minutes.
• Our therapist works up to the base of the skull by circling up to the back of the neck until they reach your hairline by lowering the hands back down and repeats this for several times.
• The therapist will ask you to step your head towards one side by placing one hand at the base of your neck and another front hand on your forehead to protect your head from falling forward. Also, without putting direct pressure on your vertebrae, the therapist will glide with both the hands.
• After reaching the hairline, the therapist will again remain there for a moment by applying gentle pressure on the back of the head and repeats the same from the base of the neck by lowering the rear hand and slowly allows the head to tilt forward without any strain or effort.
• The therapist will move your head backwards and ask you to gently lift the head back to vertical and continue the massage from backwards again by allowing the head to move within its own range of motion. The process will be repeated thrice both from forward and backward.
• By spreading the hands and fingers to the sides of the head, the therapist will perform shampooing-like motion by keeping the heel of the hands in contact with the scalp as well as the fingers.
• By reaching the top of the head with gentle traction from the heels of the hands to a different area of the head, the therapist will cover the entire scalp by repeating it from four to five times.
• The therapist will then rub the scalp with the rear hand vigorously back and forth, and continue rubbing as much of the scalp as possible to reach, and then switch hands to the other side.
• Then, the therapist will briskly rub the scalp all over with just the fingertips of both the hands and continue this for about a minute.
• After a minute, the therapist will stroke the fingers from the top of the forehead back through your hair and let the final strokes draw the head back slightly and then lay the fingers over the forehead and draw the fingers down and along the brow line to each temple and make small circles over the temples by repeating the process three times.
• Finally, the session ends with smooth strokes beginning at the forehead and slowly works towards the back of the head for about a minute by allowing the pressure to become lighter towards the end.
