subject: Head Massage: Relieve Soreness Faster [print this page] Do you dread returning to the office after a nice long weekend. Back to the stress of the workplace, the boss, the co-workers, enough to give you a headache. Surely there's some sort of relief from all of this (short of a two-week vacation to Bermuda!) How about a head massage?
All that built up negative energy caused by energy channel blockage. Prescription medication isn't always the solution, nor is over the counter medicine. A head massage can potentially clear these channels, thereby restoring any ailments that are caused by it. In order to feel good, healthy, one must have proper energy flow, otherwise, problems such as stress, aches, pains and baldness may ensue!
Have you ever had any type of massage? Do you think this is something new? No, it is not a new medical breakthrough, this art has been practiced throughout the world. Chinese records dating back 3,000 years document its use; the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians applied forms of massage for many ailments; and even Hippocrates wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems. Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue.
Massage therapy became popular in the US in the 1800s and grew in popularity until the 1940s. The development of modern medicine discounted its benefits, and its use dwindled. It made a re-appearance in the 1960s when nurses began to use it to alleviate pain in patients.
Suddenly, it became popular again in the 1960s and 1970s when nurses began to use it to relieve pain in patients. It again gained credibility when, in the 1996 Summer Olympics in Atlanta it was used as core medical service. Champissage, or head massage was also introduced to the United States around 1970. Are you convinced? Do you want what's good enough for an Olympian?
Head massage is so great, as so much of our nervous system is in our head. Do you get headaches, are you stressed or losing your hair. You wonder, where can I get a head massage, and what does it entail? Is it expensive? Well, a scalp massage can be done in a spa, a salon or at home. This can result in improved circulation. The subject of the massage can chose how long he/she wants, but usually it takes between 25 - 30 minutes.
In a salon, you will be seated in a chair and the massage technician will give you a luxurious head massage. Unlike many massages, you will remain fully clothed if you go for the option of a no-oil massage. If you want oil, you can choose to wear something to protect your clothing.
Can it benefit me? Realize, this is something that will relax you. When you are relaxed in your mind, your body naturally relaxes and you will feel uplifted. There are many other benefits. My dad went to a masseuse to help with his tinnitus. Blood and lymph circulation improve also. When your positive energy is flowing, you'll sleep and concentrate better. Go to your local spa, try a head massage! See, you will feel better!
