Indian Head Massage Brisbane helps relieve tension in the scalp, shoulders and neck, reduce stress, and support circulation. This traditional technique focuses on the upper body to calm the nervous system, ease muscular tightness and improve clarity. Available at Brisbane Livewell Clinic, it is suitable for people seeking a natural approach to managing physical and emotional fatigue.
Indian Head Massage is one of the most relaxing massages people will ever experience. Many patients report a sense of lightness, peace and stillness after just one session.
Why Choose Indian Head Massage at Brisbane Livewell Clinic
Indian Head Massage is a focused treatment that targets the common sites of stress accumulation – the scalp, neck, shoulders and upper back. At Brisbane Livewell Clinic, we offer a calm and private environment where patients can receive individualised care from experienced Massage Therapists.
Our practitioners understand the unique benefits of Indian Head Massage, including support for headaches, mental fatigue and muscular tension caused by long periods of sitting, screen use or poor posture. Each session is tailored to ensure comfort and effectiveness, whether you’re seeking support for physical symptoms or emotional reset.
Because the scalp is often massaged with oils during treatment, your hair may become oily afterwards. We recommend booking this massage at the end of your day, so you can relax fully and avoid needing to wash your hair immediately.
Benefits of Indian Head Massage in Brisbane
Indian Head Massage helps:
- Ease scalp tightness and jaw clenching
- Reduce stress-related headaches and eye strain
- Support mental clarity and sleep quality
- Improve circulation in the head, neck and shoulders
- Relieve muscular tightness in the upper back
- Calm the nervous system and support mood stability
This form of massage is non-invasive, seated and can be conducted without the need to undress.
It’s particularly well suited to busy professionals, students and anyone seeking quick but effective therapeutic relief from tension.
What to Expect From Your Appointment
Your Massage Therapist will begin by reviewing your areas of discomfort and adjusting the session to match your symptoms. A standard appointment includes massage of the upper back, shoulders, neck, scalp and forehead. You may remain seated or lie semi-reclined depending on your preference.
Techniques may include circular massage, pressure point release, and stretching of the upper muscles. The session is designed to be calming and restorative, often producing a sense of quiet and clarity after just one visit.
To enhance relaxation and scalp release, light natural oils may be used during the session. If so, you’ll be advised beforehand and can choose whether or not to proceed with this option.
Your Massage Therapists
Indian Head Massage is offered at both of our Brisbane clinic locations:
- At Wavell Heights, you’ll be seen by Rattana (Rainie) Chaisurayakan, who specialises in deeply calming massage that supports emotional reset and physical restoration.
- At Cannon Hill, your treatment will be with Fiona Woodhouse, who integrates Indian Head Massage into broader therapeutic plans for stress relief, sleep support and tension reduction.
Each practitioner will tailor your session to suit your comfort and needs on the day of your appointment.
Indian Head Massage North Brisbane
Our North Brisbane patients can enjoy deeply relaxing Indian Head Massage at our Wavell Heights clinic. This location is ideal for patients living in Chermside, Clayfield, Nundah and other nearby northern suburbs. This massage is designed to relieve tension in the head, neck and shoulders while promoting calm, mental clarity and emotional balance.
Appointments are available with Rattana (Rainie) Chaisurayakan, who brings extensive experience and a gentle, intuitive approach to every session. Her Indian Head Massage treatments are especially popular among patients dealing with headaches, fatigue, jaw tension and stress-related symptoms.
This massage can be performed with the use of warm, natural oils for added scalp and hair nourishment. For this reason, we recommend booking Indian Head Massage at the end of your day, as your hair may remain oily after the session.
Our Wavell Heights patients often describe Indian Head Massage as one of the most relaxing experiences they’ve ever had. Regular appointments are available for ongoing stress relief and nervous system reset.
Indian Head Massage South Brisbane
Indian Head Massage is available at our Cannon Hill clinic for patients in South Brisbane, including those living in Morningside, Carina, Camp Hill, Coorparoo and surrounding suburbs. This traditional Ayurvedic massage focuses on the scalp, face, neck and shoulders to release muscular tension and calm the nervous system.
Fiona Woodhouse provides Indian Head Massage at our Cannon Hill location. Known for her compassionate and highly skilled touch, Fiona works with each patient to relieve both physical and emotional stress. Her sessions are designed to quiet the mind, support circulation and encourage deep relaxation.
Many patients book Indian Head Massage to address stress headaches, sleep difficulties and overthinking. It’s also a great option before or after busy periods to reset mentally and emotionally.
As this massage often includes the use of nourishing oils on the scalp, we suggest scheduling your session later in the day.
Fiona’s Indian Head Massage appointments are in high demand, so early bookings are strongly recommended.
