Benefits of Indie Head Massage
IHM has been practiced in the UK and Europe for many years, utilizing the best elements of head and body massage. This therapy is particularly beneficial to people who are desk bound and experience pain and tension in the upper body.
The benefits of this treatment include, helping to tone muscles, relieve stress, relieve neck pain and headaches, improve concentration and boost the immune system.
Indie Head Massage is a form of massage based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing systems. It focuses on the muscles and connective tissues of the face, neck, scalp, upper back and shoulder area. The techniques used are both soothing and invigorating at the same time.
Curriculum
This course is a combination of both western and eastern techniques and will enable qualified therapists to offer an extremely effective and relaxing treatment for their clients. The two day training includes specialized massage techniques on the upper back, shoulders, upper arms, face, head and scalp. The techniques can be performed on a massage table or through the clothes on a chair, taken into the work place, health fairs, schools, etc.
To become Certified, students complete the 2-day training, practice their techniques, then come back to the school for a “Practice Session” to be sure they are ready to start their clinicals. There are 15 clinicals to be done, on family and/or friends, which would be 3 people, 5 times each; or, 5 people, 3 times each (or a combination of the two), with proper documentation. Once the 15 clinicals are complete, students return to the school for their practical exam and bring their clinical notes for review.
Upon successful completion of the 2-day training, practice session, clinicals and practical exam, students receive their certificate as a “Certified Indie Head Massage Practitioner”.
