Indian head massage in the West
March 28, 2011
Massage, including Indian Head Massage remains part of everyday culture in the East. However, in the West, Indian Head Massage has been developed to include massage on the face neck, shoulders and upper arms and has been adapted to suit the demands of our culture and busy lifestyles. Some of the techniques are similar to those used by an osteopath. Serenity Holistic Therapies provide Indian head massage in Newbury at our salon on a regular basis.
It cannot be denied that the benefits of Indian Head Massage are indeed useful in combating the stresses and strains of our culture. It can benefit everyone from the young to the elderly.
As stress is a major contributing factor to many illnesses, the use of Indian Head Massage can be seen as a preventive treatment to reduce stress and rebalance the body’s vital energies. It could be used and supported in Doctor’s surgeries, care homes and hospices although until the awareness of the benefits of Indian Head Massage improves it is unlikely that this will happen in the near future. Using it at home amongst family members encourages socializing, relieves stress and can benefit all members of the family in many ways promoting homeostasis.
Indian Head Massage is a versatile treatment because it can be performed whilst the client remains fully clothed which makes it very effective for short treatments and for treating clients who are uncomfortable about undressing. It can be performed almost anywhere only needing a chair in which the client sits making it an easily accessible treatment. Although the benefits of using oils include conditioning the hair, stimulating hair growth and moisturizing the skin Indian Head Massage is often performed without the use of oils.
Every day, we are confronted with huge amounts of information and we tend to live extremely active lives therefore causing mental overload and our general lack of exercise adds to this stress. Indian Head Massage can combat the effects of stress in everyday life which cause a great number of working days lost each year due to stress. Therefore, by reducing this stress ultimately the Health Service will benefit with less medical treatment being sought for stress related illnesses.
Overall, Indian Head Massage being a versatile treatment, can be performed almost anywhere therefore making it accessible to all and promoting a general feeling of well-being. So if you would like an Indian head massage and you live in Newbury or the surrounding areas then book an appointment today.
