Dear All!

I hope everyone are enjoying the lovely weekend!

I like the idea of Head Massage, after doing some research, India Head Massage sounds very interesting and relaxing to me. Anyone have any experience of this massage. is it effective? I am very curious? Can anyone share their experience?

Where I now live is not easy to find a course to learn this massage. Did anyone know how can I self learn India Head massage? via online or video etc. Anyone have any tips and tops!

Thank for sharing!

warm regards

Christyn

Dear Pueppi Texas

Thank you so much for your information.  It is really helpful. I think I will order the dvd from amazon. I think my clients would like the idea.

I finish my massage sessions with a supine head, scalp and face massage which is loved by all (female) clients. You can get a DVD on some of the techniques to start with, also refer to your musculature chart and learn where the head face & scalp muscles are. Then you can apply very gentle normal technique to them. Pay attention to the jaw muscles especially, along with the muscles of the neck. A very gentle stretch can be given to the head at this time, taking care not to tilt the chin up too much. Massage the temples gently, also the forehead, along to the top edges of the eye socket where you will find a small indentation. Be very gentle. Move the entire scalp around by applying palm or finger pressure. Eventually this will fall in to place naturally and you will be guided to vary it according to your clients' needs.

Good Morning, the description was for any massage of the head, I have not found any specific techniques in what they call Indian Head massage that warrant a special name! Also, in the method for moving the scalp I should have said finger and heel of hand rather than palm, the palm can be used if stretched wide open, but heel of hand is preferable (to me anyway).

I went to YouTube.   Searched Indian head massage.   Several videos came up.   I will post one of them here.  It should connect you with the others.
