Scalp Massage

Head Massage At Your Location: Neck, Shoulder, and Scalp Relief; Deep Relaxation; Alternative Hair Loss Treatment

Scalp Massage (often referred to as Ayurvedic Massage, a modality native to India involving scalp massage) is extremely relaxing, yet most people haven't ever had a session, and is one of our specialties.. Mountainside On-Site massage Therapy offers focused sessions of Scalp Massage, which includes the head, face, shoulders, and neck.

Our Massage Therapists also incorporate Face, Shoulder, Head, Jaw, and Neck Massage into a session of full-body massage. We travel to your location, bringing the relaxing and uplifting experience right to you, in the privacy and comfort of your own residence.

Mental and emotional stress are a part of life, and that stress tends to accumulate, in the form of muscle tension focused in the muscles, fascia, and tendons of the shoulders, neck, and scalp. Many tension headaches, as well as TMJ and migraines, are actually rooted in these chronically tight muscles of the head. Many clients report that Scalp Massage is a great way to get to the cause of their headaches, and have helped end the cycle of chronic tension and head pain.

Scalp Massage also helps increase blood flow to all surface tissues, including the scalp and facial skin. Over the centuries, there has been much speculation that Scalp Massage can foster healthy hair follicles, due to the increased blood flow that Therapeutic Massage produces. Consider that better blow flow brings more nutrients and oxygen to epithelial cells, nourishing the roots of your hair.

Many hair treatment centers will state that while scalp massage is relaxing and promotes blood flow, there is no scientific research proving such, leaving only centuries of anecdotal data. In fact, one recent clinical study demonstrates that daily Aromatherapy-Scalp Massage is, in fact, a safe and effective treatment for alopecia areata, a form of hair loss. With time, hopefully more research will be done to prove scalp massage's efficacy in this regard.

Scalp and Head Massage can be performed using massage oil infused with Certified Organic Essential Oils derived from a variety of botanicals, or clients can opt for an oil-free session. (Most of our clients actually choose the latter, but this is your decision.) Click here to view our 'Aromatherapy Massage' page.

Many clients have told us that our Scalp Massage sessions are deeply relaxing experiences that approach the transcendental. , lending a sense of inner calm that lasts well beyond the session. We all carry around so much tension in the musculature of the head and neck, and releasing that tension after never having done so can be exhilarating. A few have even commented that their Head and Scalp Massage sessions had been among the most intensely calming experiences of their lives.
