INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

Indian Head Massage is a treatment that has developed and been practised in India for generations. It is part of what is known as Ayurvedic bodywork.
It is carried out on the face, scalp, ears, neck, shoulders, arms and upper back and although only carried out on the upper body it represents a de-stressing programme for the whole body.
It is non-invasive leaving you fully clothed and is received whilst you are seated.
