The traditional art of Indian Head Massage is based on the ancient system of medicine known as AYURVEDA which has been pratised in India for thousands of years. Ayurveda is recorded as the worlds oldest indian healing system. The word ” Ayurveda ” comes the the Sanskrit word meaning ” the science of life and longevity” The ayurveda approach to health is the balance of the mind, body and spirit and for the promotion of long life. Traditionally in India massage has always been an important feature of the family life across the generations. In Indian traditions, the belief is that massage preserves the bodys life force and energy. Indian Head Massage was origionally designed for the head. However it has now been westernised to include other parts of the body vulnerable to stress, such as the shoulders, back, arms, neck and face.
It is important to realise the that there is an integral relationship between the head, neck, shoulders, arms and back and by incorporating these parts the treatment becomes more of a stress management treatment.
A typical treatment normally takes 45 minutes, however this is a very versatile treatment that can been customised to each indivual. It can be done either with or without oils, dressed or partially undressed, seated or lying down. Because of its flexibility this treatment will be tailored to meet your needs. As this is a versatile treatment it can also be carried out almost anywhere, home , office and workplace.
