What is Head & Shoulder Massage?
Head and shoulder massage focuses on the areas where most people carry stress: the neck, shoulders, upper back, and scalp. This targeted treatment is perfect for office workers, those with tension headaches, or anyone who needs quick relief without a full-body session.
The Technique
The therapist uses a combination of kneading, pressure point work, and gentle stretching on the neck, shoulders, upper back, and scalp. The session typically includes the arms and hands as well. Can be done seated or lying down.

“Perfect for my tension headaches. I asked for extra focus on the neck and the base of the skull and the therapist delivered. 45 minutes later the headache was gone and stayed gone. No medication, no waiting — just booked on WhatsApp and the therapist was there.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Can head massage help with migraines?
Many clients find relief from tension-type headaches through head massage. For migraines, results vary. It's best to have massage between migraine episodes rather than during an active migraine.
Will oil be used on my hair?
This is your choice. Scalp massage can be done with or without oil. If you prefer no oil on your hair, just let your therapist know. The rest of the massage uses minimal or no oil.
Is this good for people who work at computers?
Absolutely! This massage is specifically beneficial for computer users who often develop tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back from prolonged sitting and screen time.
