Head Massage
What Head Massage Is
Head massage is a safe, simple, yet effective therapy, used to reduce stress, aid relaxation, provide relief from aches and pains and promote healthy hair and scalp. In the early 1980s, a blind man named Narendra Mehta brought the formalised techniques of Head Massage to England and began to run training courses and workshops to teach therapists how to practise this Eastern way of working. Narendra Metha bases his Head Massage techniques on ‘Ayurveda’, which is an ancient Indian medical system based on seven ‘Chakras’ or energy centres in the body. The flow of energy around the body and through the Chakras is believed to have a great impact on a person’s well-being and health.
How Head Massage Works
Head massage works on the three higher Chakras of the body, the crown Chakra located at the top of the head, the third eye Chakra located in the middle of the forehead and the throat Chakra located inside the throat. The seven Chakras of the body work together, so a dysfunction in any one will eventually build up and spiral to the head, leading to feelings of stress and tension. Head Massage works on the highest Chakras to bring the whole body back into balance. When we are stressed we often notice this as tension in our head, neck, shoulders and even our eyes. Head Massage involves working with a firm but gently rhythm to unknot blockages and relieve the build up of tension. Head Massage is not just physical and can work on an emotional level too by promoting relaxation, relieving stress and calming the spirit.

What a Head Massage Treatment Includes
At Karuna Holistics, this head massage treatment is fully lying (or supine). You will be lying on your back on the massage couch, with a pillow under your head and bolsters under your knees & ankles, to support your lower back. The therapist begins by ‘grounding’ the client by holding their head, which helps to relax the client initially. We will gently cleanse your face with an oil cleanser and a light facial water before applying an aromatherapy facial oil. This head massage treatment includes gentle chakra balancing, facial acupressure, ear massage, head & scalp massage - as well as massage of the chest, arms & hands.
