What
happens at an Indian head massage treatment session? |
 |
|
| |
First,
I telephone you and ask you a number of questions regarding
your medical history and lifestyle. This is important because
certain medical conditions
preclude you from having an Indian head massage treatment. Of
course, the information is kept strictly confidential. Once
we have confirmed that
you are able to have the treatment, we agree a place (usually,
your home), date and time for the treatment. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
I
arrive at your home (or other appointed place) and set up my
equipment. For your part, you will need to provide a warm, quiet
space free from
interruptions. So, unplug the 'phone, pack the children off
to your in-laws, etc. I will provide all the necessary equipment
including the seat.
Finally, you sign the consent form, I accept payment and the
treatment
begins. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The
treatment takes the following course: |
|
| |
> |
I complete the medical / lifestyle questionnaire assessing your
suitability for Indian head massage |
|
| |
> |
You
decide whether you want oil or not. Oil is applied only to the
neck, hair and face. You can choose any combination or none
at all. The choice is yours. You can even change your mind part
way through the treatment. |
|
| |
> |
No
clothes are removed. It is advisable to wear a collarless cotton
T-shirt as this will make the massage more comfortable. |
|
| |
> |
You
sit in the chair and I provide the complete massage to the following
areas: |
|
| |
|
> |
Upper
back. I begin with some nice gentle massage then proceed
to firmer and more vigorous movements. |
|
| |
|
> |
Shoulders.
I continue with the gentle and vigorous massage to both shoulders. |
|
| |
|
> |
Neck.
Oil may be applied here. Gentle massage movements are applied
here to loosen up the muscles where the head attaches to the
neck. |
|
| |
|
> |
Scalp.
Oil may be applied here. Oils are added to three places on the
scalp and massaged in. Some gentle and vigorous movements are
used here. (You get your hair played with a lot!!) |
|
| |
|
> |
Face.
Oil may be applied here. Some very gentle and relaxing movements
around the face, sinuses and ears. |
|
| |
> |
The
treatment concludes with some Reiki to the throat, face and
head. |
|
| |
> |
I
create a personalised aftercare plan and discuss it with you.
Finally, we discuss any further treatments, make an appointment
(where appropriate), I pack up and leave and you flop on the
settee ... |
