Head Massage
Benefits of Head Massage
Muscular Skeletal System
Increases flexibility and muscle tone, improving mobility and range of movement
Releases tightness, tension and toxins
Digestive System
Aids digestion, speeding up elimination of waste from the system and alleviating constipation
Endocrine System
Balances the hormones. Massage causes the brain to release endorphins (the body’s natural ‘happy’ hormones)
Respiratory System
Relaxing the body encourages deeper breathing
Lymphatic System
Assists drainage of lymph from cells which aids removal of toxins from the body and boosts the immune system, increases production of antibodies and reduces swelling
Pain Control
Masks pain by giving the recipient a pleasurable feeling as positive nerve messages travel faster than pain messages (Pain Gate Theory)
Cognitive Skills
Promotes more on task behaviour, social readiness, body awareness and acceptance of tactile stimulation
Psychological
A feeling of wellbeing, bonding between participants, calming of mind and body, preparing for restorative sleep
