If you’re experiencing stress, neck and shoulder tension, scalp tension, mental fatigue or headaches associated with muscular tension, Indian Head Massage at ODNOVA Massage & Sports Therapy in Acton, West London provides a relaxing treatment focused on areas where everyday tension commonly accumulates.

What Is Indian Head Massage?
Indian Head Massage is a traditional massage therapy focusing primarily on the head, scalp, neck, shoulders and upper back. A combination of rhythmic massage, kneading, compression and pressure techniques is used to encourage relaxation and address muscular tension.
At ODNOVA, treatment is personalised rather than following exactly the same routine for every client. Additional attention can be given to the neck, shoulders, upper back or scalp depending on where you carry the most tension.
What Can Indian Head Massage Help With?
Neck & Shoulder Tension: Desk work, driving, prolonged sitting and everyday stress can contribute to tight muscles around the neck and shoulders. Indian Head Massage allows these areas to be treated alongside the head and scalp, making it particularly suitable when muscular tension and relaxation are both priorities.
Tension Headaches & Muscular Tension: Muscular tension around the neck, shoulders and scalp can sometimes be associated with tension-type headaches. Where muscular tension is a contributing factor, massage can focus on these areas to encourage relaxation and reduce tightness. Persistent, severe or unexplained headaches should always be medically assessed.
Stress & Difficulty Switching Off: Stress is often accompanied by physical tension around the scalp, neck and shoulders. Rhythmic massage techniques provide dedicated time to slow down, relax and disconnect from everyday demands.
Scalp & Head Tension: Focused scalp massage uses rhythmic movements and individually adjusted pressure to create a deeply relaxing treatment experience.
Desk-Work & Upper-Back Tension: Long hours at a computer can contribute to muscular tension through the neck, shoulders and upper back, precisely the areas Indian Head Massage focuses on. This makes it particularly suitable for office workers, remote workers and people who spend prolonged periods using screens.
Mental Fatigue: Indian Head Massage provides quiet treatment time focused around the head, neck and shoulders and can be particularly appealing when you feel mentally tired and simply need time to unwind.

One treatment is, in most cases, insufficient because the source of the pain is in the deeper layers of the tissue. Therefore, a series of treatments is recommended to achieve the best results. Usually, the first few massages should take place every few days, and then you can increase the time intervals between sessions.
If you are interested in a real solution to a problem, and not just its temporary "healing", a series of massage sessions is the best solution for you:

Each massage is preceded by a consultation, during which you will be asked about your expectations: whether this is stress and anxiety reduction, from tight or painful muscles, an improvement on a recent injury, or simply relaxation. You will also be asked about any temporary or chronic health conditions, as this will help establish the areas that need to be concentrated on or avoided. All this is important so that the right type of massage is tailored to your treatment.

Depending on the massage, you will have the option to either lie on a table or sit in a chair for your massage.
Most massage techniques involve lying on a cushioned table as well pillows to support different areas of your body, If you choose a table massage, you will be left in the treatment room, so that you can undress to your level of comfort and get snug underneath the towel. You may also stay fully clothed if you prefer to. During the massage, the areas which are not being worked on in the given moment will be covered with a blanket to keep you comfortable and warm.
If you choose a chair massage, you won't need to remove your clothing.
During all types of massage, you will be asked if the pressure is right. Harder pressure is mostly applied in deep tissue massage as muscles tend to be extremely tense. Please feel free to communicate if at any point the pressure is too hard or too light, as every person is different.
Massages are carried out using aromatherapy oils or lotions to moisturise the skin. If you are allergic to any common ingredients of body oils or lotions, please advise beforehand.
A typical massage lasts about an hour, although sessions can range from 60 to 90 minutes.
After a massage, you will be left in the treatment room alone to relax for a few minutes and then get dressed. After the treatment, most people feel extremely relaxed and free from long-term aches, there is also a feeling of increased energy which may last for days afterward. If you have gone for a deep tissue massage, you may feel slightly tender to start with, but after your muscles get used to the relaxed state, you should feel much better.
Most people like to close their eyes and relax, but if you prefer to chat or have any questions to ask then feel free to ask them. It’s all about your relaxation and you should do whatever makes you feel most comfortable.
