We have created this very unique certificate course which combines traditional, seated Indian Head Massage as well as a second version where the treatment is delivered while the client lies down. This was done because we have found many clients love the benefits of Indian Head Massage but prefer to lie down and relax. However, the traditional method is still popular and especially in homes and workplaces. The course is ideal for anyone who is already qualified in massage and wants to extend their treatment offering. Today we see many people who have upper back issues both muscular and skeletal. This can be driven by poor posture, stress and lifestyle. If untreated, it can lead to long term issues. This is an ancient treatment and can be dated back thousands of years. The treatment includes the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp and face and uses a variety of techniques such as traditional massage movements, pressure points and lymphatic drainage. The treatment can be offered both with and without oils and is more beneficial with oils. Your clients will thoroughly enjoy this treatment because it focusses on the areas that often feel the effects of stress and tension the most.
