Thai head massage, also known as Indian head massage, is a deeply relaxing and invigorating treatment that focuses on the head, neck, shoulders, and upper back. Rooted in ancient Ayurvedic healing techniques, this traditional practice has been passed down through generations, offering a multitude of benefits for both the body and mind.

During a Thai head massage session, you are comfortably seated or lying down while the therapist uses a combination of gentle to firm rhythmic movements, acupressure, and stretching techniques. The therapist’s skilled hands work on specific pressure points, energy lines, and muscle groups to release tension, improve circulation, and restore balance.

The massage typically begins with a soothing scalp massage, where the therapist uses their fingertips to apply gentle pressure, circular motions, and kneading techniques. This helps to relieve scalp tension, stimulate hair follicles, and promote healthy hair growth. As the therapist progresses, they extend the massage to the neck, shoulders, and upper back, targeting areas where stress and tension commonly accumulate.

As the therapist continues the massage, the techniques applied to the neck, shoulders, and upper back help to release tight muscles, reduce knots, and improve posture. The acupressure points stimulated during the massage can provide relief from headaches, migraines, sinus congestion, and eye strain.
