Keep Your Head On Your Shoulders: Head Massages

We all know that the healing touch of a trained therapist is all our body needs to

being the repair process, and that is especially true of a head massage. Also known as cranial sacral therapy, a head massage is an increasingly popular, safe and gentle treatment that targets the liquid and membranes surrounding the spinal column and skull.

When you think about what keeps a body in good health, good eating habits, less stress, exercise and the avoidance of harmful habits pops to mind. But many researchers hae suggested that a healthy mind and body are the result of our internal healing system. When we have a cut or feel the effects of a flu or cold, our bodies defend us and assist us in the healig process. Head massage therapy is but one of the techniques developed to support that process.

Head massage therapy seeks to restore misaligned bones to their proper position through a light-touch procedure (the pressure used is similar to the weight of a nickel) and is thought to eliminate the negative effects of a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and function loss. Head massage therapy is used both as a primary method of treatment and as a complement to other techniques.

Head massages - delivered by the hands of a trained professional - can help to:

* traumatic injuries to the spinal cord or brain;

* migraine headaches;

* chronic fatigue;

* impairments of the motor coordination skills;

* chronic back and neck pain;

* central nervous system disorders;

* joint dysfunction;

* stress and tension related ailments;

* Orthopedic problems.

The main goal of a head massage is to identify the cause and location of the discomfort while also relieving the pain. Head massage therapy - included in an ongoing healthy-body program is a gentle and effective way to increase energy, reduce the instances of illness and get a better night's sleep.

The head massage starts with the therapist evaluating and treating the membranes and fluid located around the spinal cord and brain. This procedure helps to remove any barriers which may be preventing your body from self healing.

Because the spinal cord and brain are a part of the central nervous system, this area has powerful influence over a variety of body functions. So during a head massage, your therapist helps your body overcome obstacles that block its natural self correcting tendencies. To do so, he/she takes cues from your body regarding the treatment to follow, in a way that is extremely effective and safe.

A head massage takes only about 30 minutes, but because all of our organs are linked to our nerves, a head massage actually benefits our entire body and releases toxins that can be harmful. Many people who use computers heavily at their workplace suffer from tight neck muscles and aching back/shoulders. A head massage - at the hands of a trained professional - can relieve and even eliminate these symptoms entirely.

Simply put ... by enjoying a head massage which takes about half the time of a full-session massage ... your body will benefit from head to toe.
