Head, Neck & Shoulder Massage
Warm oil cascades through your scalp as skilled fingers work away headaches, neck strain, and the weight of a demanding day.
The Head, Neck, and Shoulder Massage is an intensely soothing Ayurvedic treatment that focuses on the regions most affected by stress, screen time, and mental exertion. Warm medicated oil is applied to the scalp, neck, and shoulders as the therapist uses a combination of gentle kneading, circular Marma point pressure, and flowing strokes to melt away tension and calm the mind. In Ayurveda, the head (Shiras) is one of the three Marma Sthanas, the vital centres of the body. Oil applied to the scalp nourishes the roots of the hair, calms the nervous system through the cranial Marma points, and promotes the flow of Prana to the brain. This simple yet profound treatment has been a daily wellness ritual in Indian homes for thousands of years. The session begins with warm oil being gently poured onto the crown of your head. As the therapist works the oil through your scalp with firm, circular movements, you feel the tension in your forehead and temples releasing. The treatment flows down to the neck and shoulders, where deeper strokes address the muscles that connect the head to the spine. The result is a deep sense of peace and lightness, as though a weight has been lifted.
