Indian Head Massage is massage and pressure points
applied to the back, neck, scalp and face.
The methods are designed to promote relaxation to relieve
stress related muscle tension and to improve blood flow in
the head and neck areas.
The techniques are ones that have been used for a thousand
years in the Indian sub-continent and the qualification has
rationalized the methodology and provided it in an insurable
format.
The qualification is suitable for those employed in beauty,
hairdressing and others who wish to acquire this expertise.
Depending on the course level you choose, no prior
experience may be required, but students are recommended to
have a level of general education comparable to pass grade
GCSEs, or above, or other qualifications at Levels 2 and 3.
Also we strongly recommend that students do their Anatomy
and Physiology level 3 together with Health and Safety, as
the law is changing continuingly and it is always the
possibility that soon it will be a requirement in order to
practice with the general public.
As the treatment can be performed without the removal of
clothing, it is commonly used on airlines, in offices and
workplaces, particularly where there are stressful
situations or physical problems arising form continuous use
of computers. More recently the techniques have spread to be
used in hotels as single treatment provision, because it
needs only a limited space for application.
Whilst the origins of Indian Head Massage are in the Eastern
tradition of Ayurvedic medicine, this form of massage is not
dependent on that, but it may provide a means of
introduction for progression qualifications
What are the
benefits?
Indian head
massage is especially good for relieving stress, tension, fatigue,
insomnia, headaches, migraine and sinusitis. Clients report that the
experience is deeply calming and relaxing, leaving them feeling
energised and revitalised and better able to concentrate.
It helps to increase joint mobility and flexibility in the
neck and shoulders, improves blood circulation and
lymphatic flow, frees knots of muscular tension, relaxes
connective tissue, and aids in the elimination of
