Course Benefits:
Indian Head Massage targets key tension areas such as the scalp, face, neck, shoulders, and upper back—common areas where stress accumulates. This massage can be performed dry or with oil and, if needed, over clothing.
It is an ideal treatment for many stress-related concerns and works with the body’s energy centres (chakras) to restore balance and leave the client feeling relaxed and revitalised. You’ll gain knowledge of key health, safety, and consultation considerations to deliver professional treatments tailored to individual client needs.
