It is a treatment that can be learned by anyone and the videos in this course are designed to guide you, step by step, as you develop your skill in this wonderful practice.
Traditionally Indian head massage focussed on the head and scalp, but in this treatment the neck and shoulders are included as these areas are prone to tension and strain. The routine covered in this course also includes the upper arms, face and decollate to make the entire experience feel more blissful and complete. The descriptions in the course manual are detailed and there are many clear illustrations. I take you through the massage techniques used and my full sequence in the detailed videos, so that you can confidently learn how to give this wonderfully restorative treat to your loved ones and/or clients.
The anatomy section covers the areas that we will be working on and it is advisable that you familiarise yourself with the bony structures and muscles in the area you are treating - your massage will be far more enjoyable for the receiver as well as beneficial and safe.
For beginners, the course covers the fundamentals of massage and the general dos and don’ts. There are also detailed descriptions, illustrations and videos on the massage techniques, including effleurage, petrissage, friction and tapotement or percussion and how to use them on the different parts of the body that we are working.
There is information on the pressure points and some safe stretches and mobilisations to do during the treatment. So if you have never done a massage in your life, following along and practicing will have you giving blissful massages in no time.

Massage, with it’s incredible ability to physically affect the body, can not only improve physical well-being, but can also improve mental and emotional wellness too.

It is a wonderful treatment to offer at corporate wellness days as it targets those areas of stress that most of us struggle with. It is a quick effective treatment and as the use of oils is optional and the person receiving the treatment doesn’t need to get undressed, it is a super useful treatment to have in your repertoire as a masseuse, all you need is a comfy chair!
