Working at a desk for hours on end can cause tension which can accumulate in the upper body, especially around the neck and shoulders. Too much time sitting in front of a computer screen can result in eye strain where the eyes and surrounding muscles become tired. Repetitive movement and overuse of muscles and tendons can result in repetitive strain injury.
Whatever the source, when muscles become tense the energy in our body is thrown out of balance and the result is stress.
The key to stress relief is relaxation as healing can only take place when the body is in a state of calm. With Indian Head Massage you will get relief from the many negative effects of stress and you will feel relaxed, revitalised and rejuvenated.
The areas of the body that are most vulnerable to stress are those which are targeted by Indian Head Massage -head, neck, shoulders and upper arms.
Head - The face is an area of the body that always shows tension, the jaws clamp tight, teeth grind and lips tighten.
Indian Head Massage helps to counterbalance stress to the head by improving the circulation and relaxing the muscles and nerve fibres thereby relieving tension.
Neck - When the body is out of balance and under stress the head tends to come forward and the neck takes the weight of the head causing muscles to become tense. The contracted neck muscles cause the neck to become stiff and tight thus reducing mobility to the neck and shoulders.
Working on the neck with Indian Head Message helps to open up the energy flow from the spine to the whole head and helps to reduce tension and improve posture by realigning the muscles this increasing mobility and allowing the head to move freely.
Shoulders - The shoulders are the place where most people hold a large amount of tension. When tense the shoulders lift up towards the ears causing the muscles to go into spasm. This restricts the blood flow to the head, neck and shoulders and causes stiffness and inflexibility.
Indian Head Massage can help counteract the effects of this by relaxing the shoulders they will drop and energy will flow more freely to the area-thus encouraging deeper and easier breathing and improved joint flexibility.
Upper Arms - The upper arms are important to upper body movement, when the shoulders are tense they tighten and restrict movement. Indian Head Massage reduces tension and tightness in the upper arm muscles which help improve flexibility of the arms and shoulders.
