subject: Head Massage Ease Muscle Spasms Sooner [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?
Maybe our energy flow is down. All our channels of energy must be clear in order to be healthy. If they are not, we may suffer headaches, aches, even baldness. An alternate therapy is a head massage!!!
Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue. This is done to enhance function and promote relaxation and well-being on many parts of the body. Why can't we do head massage?. If you are looking to modern medicine to cure your issues, maybe you are looking in the wrong place. The art of massage dates way back, back to over 3000 years. It has been documented by the ancient Hindus, Persians and Egyptians. They all applied forms of massage for many ailments. Hippocrates even wrote papers recommending the use of rubbing and friction for joint and circulatory problems.
In the early 1800's, massage therapy became very popular and this increased until the 1930's and 40's. As modern medicine developed, the benefits of massage therapy were discounted. It was used less and less.
In the 1996 Summer Olympics massage was deemed a core medical service, this gave it great credibility. Head massage, or champissage is practiced all over Europe and was brought to the US in the 1970's.
So many nerve endings and so much of our nervous system is in our heads. Generally a massage can help different areas of the body. Well, it's the same with the head. If you have a headache, try head massage. This type of massage (also known as Indian head massage) is offered at most salons and spas, or can even be done at home.
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
Do you feel the urge yet? It has benefited many. My father went for a head massage to treat his tinnitus. If nothing else, you will be relaxed and uplifted. With this positive energy flowing, you know you will feel better. You will sleep better which will help you with concentration in every-day tasks. Your blood and lymph circulation will improve. Just head over to your local spa, talk with a masseuse. You will surely feel better!
