Actually a massage involving the neck, scalp and face, Indian Head Massage is an extremely effective therapy that has evolved from traditional techniques practised in India as part of family rituals for over a thousand years. The technique taught by us is true to the original massage originally brought over to the UK from India.

The treatment involves massage through the clothes to the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, neck, face and scalp, with the client remaining seated in an upright position. This massage works on particular areas of the body, especially the neck and the shoulders where stress affects major muscle groups, and it often brings immediate relief. Tensions are eased and fibrous knots and nodules melt away. The efficiency of the circulatory and lymphatic systems improves, toxins are dispersed from tense muscles and flexibility and fluidity of movement is restored.

An Indian Head Massage is done with the client sitting in a comfortable chair for the duration of the massage, ideally wearing a camisole or vest top with thin straps. Treatment normally begins with a massage of the neck and shoulders, some work to the arms follows and then the scalp is massaged and the hair briskly tussled and gently combed. The massage finishes with some techniques to the face and ears. Although it is easy to learn the basics this form of massage should not be taken lightly. It is both subtle and deep, leaving the client feeling deeply relaxed and rejuvenated.

An Indian Head Massage lasts about 30 minutes.

Here's what some past London Therapists students have said:

My feedback regarding the IHM course I did with Claire 1 week ago is totally positive, starting from her way of teaching to her personality. I particularly appreciated the 100% hands on approach. Claire covered the principle aspects about contra indications and insurance and then the rest of the day was all aimed at getting us to practise as much as possible. One other aspect I particularly enjoyed was the small size of the group, so that we all had a lot of individual attention. Claire was very patient and thorough, answering all my questions. The venue was really lovely, cosy and relaxing, she took great care in making everybody feel comfortable. I would definitely recommend it to anybody."

I attended Claire's Indian Head Massage course on Friday 3rd December and I thought it was brilliant. Claire was a fantastic teacher, she made us feel so at ease and welcome the moment we walked in. I have done day courses before and have always been amazed at how much you remember when you get home, and this was no exception! I am looking forward to doing more of your courses in the future."

I have attended both Indian Head Massage and Thai Hand and Foot Massage. Thanks to Claire, she is really an excellent person/trainer. The pace was perfect, the environment was calm and the content was very clear. I am really pleased I went ahead and booked these courses as I had so many options and somehow ended up with the right one! Very good value."

I’d just like to say that our Thai Foot Massage course with Claire was brilliant. There were just two of us there so we really got to cover all the ground and understand it. Claire is very professional, and manages to add her own personal touch at the same time, offering ideas to promote our beauty business on top of the teaching."

Feedback you requested. I thoroughly enjoyed the Thai Foot massage workshop, I can see that it is going to make a superb add on to Reflexology. Claire's teaching was very good. I found her very patient and clear in her instructions. The surrounds we undertook the workshop in were very calm, and I must add that I liked Claire's therapy room - it has inspired me. Will be keeping my eye on your website for further workshops to attend. A great day had by all!"
