Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage has been practiced in India for over 1,000 years. This Sanskrit word can be translated as the “science of life” or “knowledge of life”. The art of Indian Head Massage originated from Ayurveda, the ancient Indian system of medicine. In the West the scalp is commonly viewed as independent part of the body. In India, however, the scalp is regarded as an extension of the body’s skin and lavished with attention and care. This form of massage is very relaxing and focuses on the face, neck, head, shoulders and upper arms where tension, headaches and stiffness tend to accumulate. It also has a balancing effect on the recipient as it helps them to release stress and tension creating a sense of peace and well-being. This form of massage is done over the clothing lying on a massage table or in a seated position. Oils such as sesame, almond and coconut, mixed with essential oils are massaged into the scalp and hair at the end phase of the treatment. At the client’s request this oil treatment can be optional

Manual Therapy
Osteopathic Care
Osteopathy is form of healthcare emphasizing the interrelationship between structure and function of the body and recognizes the body’s ability to heal itselfThe osteopath’s role is to facilitate this process, through the practice of manual and manipulative therapy. An Osteopath (DOMP) applies non-invasive manual therapies, as well as providing nutritional, postural, and other health advice.
Classical Osteopathy involves a “total” body adjustment, which works through structural strains and patterns and has effect on circulation, reflexes and sensory feedback. Osteopathic treatment can lead to successful patient outcomes in many functional and pathological disorders, including infections and degenerative conditions. Principles of cranial, circulatory, lymphatic, skeletomuscular and autonomic nervous systems are applied to increase patient vitality and constitution.
Manual Therapy
Manual therapies include the utilization of a variety of ‘hands on’ modalities to restore normal function and mobility after disease or injury. Techniques often include joint manipulation, mobilization, soft tissue techniques, stretching, exercise prescription and education.
Some of the scientifically proven benefits of manual therapy are pain relief, improved joint mobility and stability, increased muscle strength and coordination as well as increased awareness of optimal posture and enhanced total body function.
Exercise prescription by a manual therapist is based on a detailed assessment of physical dysfunction and tailored specifically to address identified problems.
