About Indian Head Massage

A deeply relaxing treatment for the upper back, neck, shoulders, upper arms, head and face.

Indian Head Massage is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing, which has been practised in India for over a thousand years. Indian Head Massage stimulates the circulation, boosts the lymphatic system and eases muscular tension.

It is a very effective healing treatment and massage is applied to the upper back, neck, shoulders and upper arms, all areas that can hold a lot of tension and stress. These areas of tension and stress are eased and fibrous knots and nodules melt away.

The head and face are also massaged using pressure points to aid relaxation further. Indian Head Massage also helps improve scalp and hair condition. It is not just a physical treatment; it also works on an emotional and spiritual level to bring your soul back to peace.

Shoulder and neck massage in a calm therapy space

Indian Head Massage for neck, shoulder and scalp tension

This focused massage treatment is ideal for clients who carry stress through the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp, jaw or face. It can suit people who spend time at a desk, feel mentally busy, or want a shorter but meaningful treatment that helps them switch off.

Susie adapts the pressure and pace to your comfort, creating a treatment that feels restorative without being rushed. You can ask for more attention on the shoulders, a gentler pace around the head, or a quieter session focused on relaxation.

A calm upper body treatment

Indian Head Massage can be booked as a standalone holistic massage or paired with reflexology, Reiki or Natural Lift Facial Massage. It is a natural partner for clients who want upper body tension relief alongside a deeper sense of emotional calm.
