Indian Head Massage (BS13)
Indian Head Massage is a calming, restorative treatment focusing on the upper back, shoulders, neck, arms and hands, head and face. It’s a good choice if you’re feeling overwhelmed, tight across the shoulders, or simply need time to unwind.
This gentle therapy takes place in a chair and you can choose to be clothed or have the massage with oils, depending on your comfort.
What Is Indian Head Massage?
Indian Head Massage is a traditional therapy that uses soothing techniques across the upper body to release tension and encourage deep relaxation. It works on areas where many people hold stress, especially the neck, shoulders and scalp.
The treatment also supports circulation, reduces muscle tightness, and promotes a sense of calm and clarity.
