| This technique is a
wonderful form of head massage, an easy form which has a very powerful
energy and benefit to the receiver.
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.
An Indian Head Massage generally starts
with the client sitting in a comfortable chair for the duration of the
massage.
There is no need to remove clothing
although it should be noted that a cotton top or T shirt is probably the
most comfortable thing to be wearing. Some clients prefer to remove their
top to prevent any oil staining.
Treatment normally begins with a deep
kneading and probing of the neck and shoulder muscles. At times similar to
Osteopathy but with no crunching or cracking of joints. The head is then
worked with the scalp being squeezed, rubbed, gently tapped and prodded.
The hair is briskly tussled and gently combed.
Pressure points are gently worked on and
the ears are tugged and pressed. Lastly the practitioner moves to the
face, working with acupressure points to help relieve any sinus pressure,
stimulate the circulation and increase alertness. The face is also very
gently stroked.
Once a massage has been complete the
client should remain at rest for at least 20 minutes. |
