Relax and Revive Indian Head Massage

Indian head massage has continued to evolve in the Western world and involves massage to the upper back, arms, hands, shoulders, neck, head, scalp and face.

This is a wonderfully relaxing, invigorating way to relieve stress, anxiety and also muscular tension that can build up and accumulate in these areas, showing as eye strain, stiff neck and shoulders and even hair loss. Massage increases blood flow to the area so circulation is improved, which brings in fresh oxygen and nutrients. Improved oxygen to the brain helps with clearer thinking and concentration, as well as increased circulation to the skin and hair.
