Head massage is a great introduction to spa massage, as well as offering many potential benefits for mind and body. In this guide, we look at what head massage involves, the benefits this treatment offers, and highlight some options for your next spa head massage treatment.
WHAT IS INVOLVED IN A SPA HEAD MESSAGE?
Lasting about 30 minutes, this treatment focuses on the scalp, face and upper neck. A head massage can be part of a longer treatment, such as a facial or back, neck and shoulder massage. If you are shy about undressing at the spa, this can be a good treatment option as you are fully covered and sitting in a massage chair. The exception is if you combine the treatment with another type of massage.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A HEAD MESSAGE?
As with all treatments, you’ll begin with a consultation with your therapist to talk about what you want to achieve from your treatment or any health concerns.
You will then lie on the treatment bed, in your robe or robe unless your head massage is part of a comprehensive treatment such as a full body massage.
Your therapist will begin the massage using a variety of techniques. They may include oils in the treatment, which will help nourish the hair and scalp, but you can ask them not to if you prefer.
After your treatment you will be invited to drink water and usually taken to a rest area.
Choose this if you want…
Experience a deep sense of relaxation but don’t opt for a full body treatment. It’s also great if you want something quite mild but with really great results.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF A SPA HEAD MASSAGE?
Although head massage should not replace traditional medical treatment, it can contribute to the improvement of various physical and mental problems. As well as relaxation and stress relief, this type of massage can help:
- Improve blood and lymph circulation throughout the body
- Release tension from head, neck and shoulders
- Fight fatigue and low mood
- Relieves tension headaches and migraines
- Helps with restful sleep and insomnia
It is important to note that immediately after treatment, you may feel a little tired or light-headed. This should subside within a few hours but keep this in mind if you are driving to the appointment. You should avoid alcohol for at least five hours before your treatment.
