Indian Head Massage

Head Massage has been practised in India for centuries and it is only fairly recently (within the last 50 years) that we have been able to enjoy its benefits here but, as with so many other complementary therapies, it is rapidly becoming well known and more widespread.

The fact that Indian Head Massage (IHM) can be given to a person fully clothed whilst sitting in a chair means that it is quite easy to give in many situations. IHM is one of the few complementary therapies that is perfect for taking into the workplace where it can provide wonderful relief for staff - particularly those who sit at computers all day.

In a more therapeutic setting, oils can be used if desired, which may enhance the treatment.
