Yes, in the neck and shoulders or in the form of a headache. In extreme cases it can manifest itself as hair loss! Indian Head massage involves working with a firm and gentle rhythm to help unknot blockages and so relieve this uncomfortable tension. The effect however is not only physical; it works on your emotions too, calming the spirit and aiding relaxation. The massage can be tailored to the needs of the client and can be relaxing or invigorating.
