Indian Head Massage

Switch off your mind and release the tension you didn’t realise you were holding.

Indian Head Massage is a deeply relaxing treatment focusing on the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face — areas where everyday stress and tension can easily build.

Using a combination of massage movements, pressure and soothing techniques, the treatment is designed to ease muscular tension, encourage relaxation and provide dedicated time to completely disconnect from the stresses of everyday life.

Despite the name, Indian Head Massage isn’t simply a scalp massage. By working across the upper body as well as the head and face, it creates a beautifully calming experience from beginning to end.

What does the treatment include?

Your treatment begins with a consultation to discuss how you’re feeling, any areas where you tend to hold tension and anything you would like me to focus on or avoid.

You’ll then be made comfortable before your treatment begins.

Upper Back & Shoulders

The massage begins by working across the upper back and shoulders, helping to warm and relax the muscles.

A combination of massage movements and targeted techniques are used across areas that commonly become tight from posture, work and everyday stress.

Neck Massage

Attention then moves to the neck, using controlled massage techniques to help ease everyday muscular tension and encourage relaxation through the upper body.

Scalp Massage

A large part of the treatment is dedicated to a relaxing scalp massage.

A combination of gentle pressure, rhythmic movements and massage techniques are worked across the scalp, creating an incredibly soothing experience and helping you completely switch off.

Face Massage

Relaxing techniques are incorporated across the face, providing a gentle and calming finish to the treatment, including facial pressure point massage.

The combination of the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face makes Indian Head Massage particularly relaxing for anyone who feels they carry stress throughout their upper body.
