Indian head massage is based on the Ayurvedic system of healing which has been practiced in India for over a thousand years and is especially good for relieving stress, tension, fatigue, insomnia, headaches, migraine and sinusitis. Though Indian Head Massage was originally designed for use on the head only, today it has been westernised to include other parts of the body vulnerable to stress, such as the shoulders, upper arms and neck, as collectively they represent a de-stressing effect on the whole body. Head massage has therefore become a primary form of stress management treatment in the western world.
The client sits in a chair for the treatment and the therapist uses a range of different movements including application of deep kneading and compression movements over the neck, shoulder and scalp areas. In addition, the therapist will also use their fingertips to treat pressure points on the face. Clients report that the experience is deeply relaxing and calming, leaving them feeling revitalised, energised and better able to concentrate.

For the ultimate, calming massage, the Lava Shells Relax treatment is the soothing solution. Marine polished self-heating Tiger Clam Shells are guided smoothly over the body allowing you to drift into a blanket of warmth and fall into a state of utter relaxation and calm. During the massage, the shells are worked over the arms, legs, back, feet, palms and neck and shoulder area, with the focus of the massage surrounding pressure points. Deep tissue work eases away muscle tension, knots and stress points, unblocking an energy flow and releasing a sense of balance to the entire body and mind.
Genuine Tiger Clam shells heat up from within when a simple salt water activator is added to a blend of minerals and absorptive ingredients: Magnesium, iron, marine algae and sea kelp, LavaGel and lava rock. The shells are non-porous so thy can not absorb bacteria or oils and due to their self-heating properties a massage can be performed without loosing touch time, leading to a much more effective and valuable massage.
