Indian Head Massage is normally carried out with the

However, it can be carried out with the client lying on a couch.
Over the years, the techniques have developed and
adapted, influenced by different techniques of different times and cultures.
The treatment usually includes massage of the
shoulders, upper arms, neck and face. It
can be carried out with the client clothed, in which case no oils will be
used. Alternatively, if oils are to be
used (to the shoulders, neck and upper arms), the client will be wrapped in a
towel, ensuring modesty at all times.
