Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage at Origins Thai Spa: scalp, neck, shoulder and face massage. Available in 30 minutes. You will fall head over heels for this profoundly relaxing massage. This ancient technique from India uses warm coconut oil applied to the head, scalp and hair, which provides both a soothing and restorative effect. The massage therapist uses their hands, forearms and fingers to apply slow strokes over the scalp while rubbing, plucking and tapping the scalp and hair. This technique is performed in sequence for maximum stimulation. While this massage concentrates predominantly on the head, the client’s neck, shoulders and back are also stimulated during this massage to promote relaxation.
