Executive / Indian Head Massage
Everyday stress can cause a tremendous build up of muscle tension in the head, neck, shoulders & jaw. This tension often goes unnoticed until it manifests itself into headaches, muscle spasms and insomnia. Also known as Indian Head Massage (Champissage) the Executive Head Massage is a surprisingly relaxing treatment extremely well suited to the office environment.
What to Expect:
The Head Massage usually includes all areas of the head including the scalp, forehead, temples and sometimes the jaw. The head massage also attends to the muscles of the neck, upper back and shoulders. The massage involves circular movements from the therapists fingers and palm as well as kneading and squeezing of the neck and shoulder muscles. No oils are used in the office environment and the therapist will take care to leave your hair tidy.
Benefits:
The Executive Head Massage will leave the client feeling calm and centred with a feeling of overall wellbeing. The massage can often bring immediate relief from symptoms of physical and emotional stress. The head massage helps to improve circulation to the head and brain and assists in the removal of toxins. It is also said to improve hair growth and condition. For anyone mulling over a complex work problem the mental relaxation can also create the conditions to stimulate those 'eureka' moments.
Equipment Required:
The beauty of the Executive Head Massage is that it can be performed on a standard office chair (preferably a stable chair with a low back). Some therapists prefer to use their own massage stool. This makes the treatment very flexible and adaptable to most conditions.
Room Required:
A quiet room is recommended for maximum benefit however the treatment can take place at the employee's desk if required.
Recommended Treatment Lengths:
A 15 minute treatment is the usual time allocated to the Head Massage in the office environment, although the treatment is very scalable. Even a 5 minute treatment will induce a sense of calmness although we would recommend up to 25 minutes for the maximum benefit. We try to emphasise the quality of the clients experience so a 5 minute change-over is required between treatments for pre and post treatment consultation rather than rushing from client to client.
Event Suitability:
Due to its easy scalability and minimum equipment requirements the Head Massage is suitable to a host of different environments from office based wellbeing days, corporate fun days and promotional events.
