Massage is probably the oldest therapy known to man, and
has been practised in the Far and Middle East for at least
5,000 years. The beneficial effects have been acknowledged
for generations, and in these countries massage is a part
of everyday activity, performed within the family from a very
young age. The traditional art of Indian Head Massage is based
on the ancient system of medicine known as Ayurveda, which
has been practised in India for thousands of years.
Although it is relatively easy to learn the basics of Indian
Head Massage, this form of massage should not be taken lightly,
it is both subtle and deep leaving the client feeling deeply
relaxed, rejuvenated and deeply affected. This wonderful relaxing
treatment is given whilst sitting in a chair. The Massage
is carried out fully clothed and includes massage of the upper
back, neck, shoulders, upper arms, scalp, hair and face.
