If you want to develop your knowledge of Indian Head Massage so that you can embark on a rewarding career or maybe you are already working in a related field and want to improve your career prospects, then this is the course for you.
Indian Head Massage has been practised in India for over a thousand years as part of everyday family life as a form of grooming. Indian head massage was brought to the west by Narendra Mehta in the 1970's and the therapy was extended to include the face, ears, neck, shoulders and upper arms.
Indian Head Massage works on areas affected by mental and emotional stress. In Western culture today we spend much of our time in our heads, so this treatment can really help to calm the mind and is surprisingly deeply relaxing. Working with a firm and gentle rhythm it helps to relieve muscular discomfort and tension as well as calming the spirit and aiding relaxation, it also improves circulation in the head, enhances the senses and promotes clear thinking.
The Distance Learning Indian Head Massage course has been designed so that you can learn the art of Indian Head Massage from home. You will discover the art of providing a soothing Indian head massage to calm and revitalise, whilst studying the role of the anatomy and contraindications in the application of the massage. Students will learn how to conduct professional client consultations and treatments and develop a niche skill that compliments a wide range of other therapies, such as beauty therapy and aromatherapy.
