Indian head massage is one of the most popular treatments I do in my treatment room.

Indian head massage consists of working over the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp, down the arms and the face.

The client is seated in a comfortable chair. I personally get good results with the client wearing a cotton top. where you can do a number of massage techniques such as friction rubs, where you are not chaffing the skin. You can tailor your Indian head massage for each individual client. If someone has a stiff shoulder or tension in the upper back and neck areas, you can work more over these areas. Once you know the basics and the basic massage movements, then you can adapt this treatment to suit your client.

You will find this treatment is relaxing for your client and you will also find that you enjoy performing the treatment on your client.
