Indian Head Massage

As its name implies, Indian Head Massage has been developed from the traditional massage practices of India. From the barbers on the beach and mothers working with their new born babies to families working on each other, massage plays an important part of Indian ‘everyday’ life.

This form, developed and adapted by Narendra Mehta, draws on traditional Ayurvedic methods combined with techniques to suit modern lifestyles. Because of the close working relationship between the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, head, face and ears, Indian Head Massage works on these major “STRESS” carrying areas and creates a relaxing ripple effect throughout the whole of body. By working in this way, the whole body benefits physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually.

Unlike other forms of massage, Indian Head Massage is practised with the client seated in a chair, fully clothed. For this reason, It can be given anywhere, from train stations to boats to planes to the office, home or beach. However a prepared space and relaxed ambience really can enhance this experience and can bring about a sense of deep relaxation in a very short time.

Benefits of a Indian Head Massage:

  • Whole body relaxation
  • Relief of neck and shoulder stiffness
  • Increased movement in the shoulders and arms
  • Easing of eye strain
  • Relief from headaches
  • Relief from jaw problems
  • Relief from sinusitis and hayfever
  • Improved circulation
  • Increased hair growth and lustre
  • Clearer thinking
  • Better concentration

Together, Linda and Peter have worked in many clinics, centres, private homes and at festivals throughout the UK, Australia and New Zealand sharing their knowledge and experience with adults, babies, children and the four leggeds!
