Indian Head Massage - what is it?

Indian head massage is based on the ayurvedic system of healing which has been practised in India for over a thousand years.

The aim of Indian head massage is to release feelings of stress accumulated in the tissues, muscles and joints of the face, neck, head and shoulders.

Indian head massage helps increase joint mobility and flexibility in the neck and shoulders, can improve blood circulation and lymphatic flow, free knots of muscular tension and relax connective tissue. It is particularly good for reducing the effects of stress and tension.

What does it involve?

The client, fully clothed, sits in a massage chair for the treatment. The therapist uses a range of different movements including application of deep kneading and compression movements over the neck, shoulder and scalp areas.

As with all complementary therapies, we recommend you seek the advice of your GP or regular medical practitioner before committing yourself to significant treatments, especially those that are physically invasive.

Sarah Ramiah

Postgraduate in Reflexology

Practitioner’s Certificate in:

Hand Reflexology

Hot Stone Therapy
Indian Head Massage
Thai Foot Massage

I have been an active practitioner for over ten years and have seen the complimentary therapy field flourish around me.

This encouraged me to research the various therapies by travelling around the globe, which broadened my knowledge and helped me obtain unique techniques from the native lands.

I subsequently developed a passion to share my work and skills which lead me to Ireland and the USA where I lectured at schools and promoted Complimentary Therapy at trade shows.

I am a full member of the Association of Reflexologists and follow their codes of Practice and Ethics seriously.

In my experience as a practitioner I have previously achieved the following:

Successfully treated various aspects and conditions with "Reflexology" and have had broad experience on fertility/pregnancy.

Stimulated Lymphatic drainage and reinforced Respiratory system with "Indian Head Massage".
 
I have helped to increase flexibility and blood flow to the knees/hips and improved circulation with "Thai Foot Massage".

Corrected digestive disorders, boosted immune system and increased well being with deep tissue work of the "Hot Stones!".
