Learn an Eastern massage technique FHT Accredited course

Indian Head massage, originating in the East several hundred years ago, works on both physical and mental states. The client doesn’t need to undress and there is no special equipment of any kind; it is truly a mobile therapy.

Indian Head Massage induces a state of calm, peace and tranquility and promotes high levels of alertness and concentration. Relaxing, yet invigorating, Indian Head Massage creates a wonderful feeling of well-being.

Indian Head Massage is carried out in a ’regular’ chair with the client fully clothed, which makes it an extremely flexible and versatile therapy yet still amazingly stress relieving - ideal for corporate work, for clients who don’t want to undress or who find it difficult to lie on a couch for those ’impromtu’ situations - no need for special equipment or oil!

The objective of this course is to train practitioners to carry out a professional, competent Indian head massage at a level compatible with working in a corporate environment.

This course is suitable for: qualified massage therapists
