What Will You Learn?

Focused on holistically healing the mind, body, and spirit, Indian head massage uses a combination of typical and traditional movements over the body’s tissues, muscles, scalp, and hair – helping to ground the recipient and encourage a feeling of relaxation, peace and wellbeing throughout the body.

The Indian Head Massage Diploma Course will give you a deeper understanding of Indian head massage, relevant anatomy, client consultation, preparation, provision and aftercare of treatment, and health and safety information.

Introducing you to Indian head massage, the course shares its origins, development, and benefits, along with introducing you to Ayurveda and the chakras.

You need to be aware of the different body structures you’ll work with, so you’ll learn about skin, bones and muscles, along with the blood and lymphatic systems. The course also covers the contraindications to Indian head treatment that therapists must be aware of, the different skin and hair types that you may come across, and postural faults that you should be able to identify in clients.

You’ll be guided through the client consultation process and how to set up and prepare for treatment. We’ll learn the movements and techniques of a full Indian head massage and what to discuss with your client after the treatment.

The course concludes with a look at how to keep clients and the working environment safe by adhering to health, safety, and hygiene guidelines.

By studying this course, you will:

  • Gain a deeper understanding of Indian head massage, including Ayurveda and the chakras
  • Learn about areas of anatomy important to Indian head massage
  • Become familiar with the client consultation process and contraindications
  • Be guided through the preparation, provision, and aftercare of Indian head massage treatment
  • Understand the health, safety, and hygiene guidelines to adhere to
