Answer 1

yeah i do Indian head massages for my clients, the reason as to why people want them vary a lot, usually just to relax, some involve stress and neck and back pain some come to me who suffer from headaches and migranes some just want to improve their sense of wellbeing. Indian head massage is not just on the head it covers the whole back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face....even the ears. Some of the movements used can promote hair growth so some clients find that an added benefit, also alopeca suffers like to try it as it stimulates the scalp thus the hair follicles. I'm not sure if you want an exact run down of the whole routine but i'd be happy to tell you more.
Most of my clients leave very relaxed and tell me that night they usually get the best nights sleep they have ever had....i have a lot of repeat clients so for them it def works.
Email me if you need more help.

my daughters are both beauty thearpists, they have just said nobody should have an indian head massage if they have an headache or migraine at that time, they can however have the massage when clear of headaches, Indian Head is used to balance your chakras which overall helps with stress , sleeping difficulties, headaches, migraines, hairloss, upper back and neck problems. The client would feel the difference after the second or third massage in the course of four. After the course of four they will have to have at least one a month, if their case is more severe then they could carry on having one a week. Depending on their problem make sure that they are given the correct after care advice i.e. hot water bottle or hot flannels on the upper back or neck area to relieve tension, maybe advice to take up yoga to relieve stress, and to recommend they keep 10 to 15 minutes each day in a quiet room to think clearly this also helps to reduce stress. Hope this is of some help.

Hi Nicki - I don't know if this will help, as not really a case study.
My one and only experience of Indian Head Massage was when I was visiting a Health & Beauty Expo. I'd been suffering with a really bad headache for about three days. Pain killers only ever 'took the edge off' the pain. I saw the practitioner, and paid £10 for 1/2 hour massage. It was lovely and relaxing. I went into a sort of trance and at the end, my headache was gone.

They can sometimes make you feel relaxed and sleepy, other times refreshed and revitalised depending on the technique (and oils (if any) that are used). I am studying Indian Head Massage at the moment too, it is important that both the client and the indian head massage practitioner remove their shoes; this is so that energy can flow freely and you remain "grounded". You can incorporate crystals and chakra work into your treatment to help with this too. Some people say they sometimes feel "spaced out" after a treatment, this is to do with the release of toxins and also a result of not being grounded. It has fantastic health benefits and as a student yourself I am sure you will be aware of these! : ) One other thing I have noticed is an immense thirst after treatment, and even the day after a treatment too, this is your bodies way of ridding the body of toxins which have been released. Good luck with your course, enjoy!

Answer 5

Back in the good old days I used to be a Reflexologist and Indian Head Massager. Went to college after being kicked outa work to try and help my fibrofog. Anyway, I took an accredited course City & guilds Reflexology and VTC or something for the Indian Head. Both are good treatments for relieving a lot of neck and shoulder problems. Unfortunately I cant practice anymore, the old hands wont let me, but Indian Head especially if done with a properly trained therapist can be of great benefit.

Answer 6

Yes when I was on holiday in Dublin, it was really good, as part of another treatment in a salon, head went kinda numb after a bit into it. Afterwards the oil they used seemed to me a little uncomfortable as it did not dry as quick as just if you has just washed your hair. Nice but not as good as a massage.

I also do Yoga that is very good - fortunately my partner is a qualified teacher so I lucked out there, hope that helps
