Why choose it?
Why choose Indian Head Massage?
One of the main reasons people choose Indian Head Massage is relaxation. It can be particularly appealing if you carry tension around your shoulders, neck or scalp but do not want a full-body massage.
Massage of the head, neck and shoulders has been studied for relaxation and muscular tension. One small study in healthy adults found that head, neck and shoulder massage produced measurable changes associated with relaxation and improved participants' reported emotional state and muscle tension.
More broadly, reviews of massage for neck and shoulder discomfort suggest that some people experience short-term pain reduction, although the quality and consistency of the research varies.
Important
What about headaches?
It is common to see Indian Head Massage promoted online as a treatment for headaches and migraines, but I would not make that claim.
A review looking specifically at chronic tension-type headaches found no randomised controlled trial evidence for Indian Head Massage itself. You can read more from the NCCIH's information about massage therapy research.
That does not prevent someone who feels tense around their scalp, neck or shoulders from enjoying the treatment.
It simply means the website should not promise that Indian Head Massage will treat or prevent headaches or migraines.
Seated treatment
A seated massage treatment
Indian Head Massage is performed while you sit fully clothed in a chair, so there is no need to undress or lie down.
This makes it a straightforward option if you are short on time or new to massage treatments in general.
This may appeal to you if you
- Prefer not to have a full-body treatment
- Want attention focused on your upper body
- Carry tension in your neck or shoulders
- Enjoy scalp massage
- Want a relaxing 45-minute appointment
- Would prefer a treatment that can be performed without oil
Your preference
With or without oil
Indian Head Massage can be performed with or without massage oil, so let Laura know which you would prefer when you book.
Oil is often used across the scalp and hair, while a dry treatment may suit you better if you are short on time afterwards or would rather not have oil in your hair.
