What is Indian Head Massage?
Indian head massage is an ancient technique from Ayurveda that focuses on the head, neck, shoulders and face. Gentle yet stimulating pressure is applied to release tension, relax and circulate the scalp and upper body. Research in the Journal of Complementary and Integrative Medicine shows that Indian Head Massage can reduce stress, headaches and improve mood by increasing blood flow and reducing muscle tension in these areas.
At Wellness Flowz in Hamilton we combine ancient Indian head massage techniques with modern wellness practices to give you a deep relaxation and rejuvenation experience. We help our clients experience the benefits of increased circulation and reduced stress, clarity of mind and physical relief.
