Traditional Indian Head Massage in the

Work Place 

If stress in the workplace is properly managed it can be re-experienced as a motivator.  Indian Head Massage is well suited to the corporate environment because of its flexible and portable nature and the fact that the treatment is quick and the recipient does not need to undress.  No special equipment is needed.  It is a timesaving therapy when time is of the essence because the therapist can come to you.  The treatment is quick approximately 15 to 20 minutes and easy to perform.  It is therefore perfect for the office where time is precious. 

Traditional Indian Head Massage evolved in India over centuries as a means of coping with day-to-day stress and was practiced as an integral part of daily routine for all.  It is a therapy for releasing tension and improving circulation. 

Unavoidable physical or emotional stress occurring in our daily lives results in the tightening of the scalp and neck muscles.  When stress and tension from the scalp, neck and shoulder areas are released one experiences immense relaxation and a feeling of well being within the entire body.  It is for young and old alike helping to achieve harmony of body, mind and spirit. 

If you can identify with anything in the stress symptom list then you could be suffering from stress: breathing problems, blood pressure, palpitations, muscular tension, loss of appetite, ulcers, constant tiredness.  Emotions can also be a sign of stress: helplessness, panic attacks, frustration, anxiety, concentration, phobias, drug problems, and forgetfulness. 

Tackling stress effectively is especially important in the workplace.  Each year hundreds of millions of working days are lost as a result of stress.  Two out of three medical consultations concern stress-related conditions.  Because of this many businesses are now seeking out inexpensive ways of increasing productivity and lowering absenteeism.  Indian Head Massage is an ideal tool.  It can help reduce stress and fatigue, increase mental clarity, relax and rejuvenate. 

Stress is not only caused by a high-pressure job, anyone can succumb, from the managing director to the office cleaner.  We spend a major part of our lives at work, or looking for it.  Thus, what happens at work is vitally important to our health and well being.

For many people the work environment can be very stressful.  Those working in front of computers can suffer with bad posture, muscle fatigue, aches and pains.  The effects of stress can manifest in bad decision making, lack of organisation, widespread absenteeism, low morale, anxious, irritable or depressed staff, decrease in productivity and profits.  Whenever you feel one or more of the symptoms of stress creeping up on you there is something you can do about it. 

A 20 minute Indian Head Massage can help soothe both physically and emotionally, refresh and rejuvenate and help put things into perspective to face the rest of the day with a feeling of well being.  Regular head massage can significantly improve creative thinking and problem solving abilities as well as relieving fatigue.  Head massage can help employees stay healthy as well as happy by easing aches and pains, reducing blood pressure and even increasing immunity to colds and flu by improving the immune system.  The employer also gains a happier, healthier and more effective employee.           

Treatments can be carried out anywhere at any time with the client sitting in a chair fully clothed which is perfect for the office environment.  All the employer has to do is preferably supply a quiet room to carry out the treatments.
