Indian Head Massage

This form of massage is part of the Indian Ayurvedic healing system. The head neck and shoulders are important energy centres within the body.Tension is concentrated around acupressure points. During this form of massage, finger pressure is applied to the acupressure points, enabling the muscle fibres to relax. Once the tension is massaged out of these areas, the person is left feeling energised and relaxed.
