Back Massage Session

I initially started this website with the intention to promote only head massage. I am strong believer in the great therapeutic value of head massage. The western medical system does not credit this wonderful technique much. The western massage school but puts emphasis on muscles, and connective tissue and because the approach of massage. The epithelial tissue, (the skin), and the nervous tissue are not given much importance in the West, hence Indian head massage has no therapeutic value. The fact that the head has so little muscles and connective tissue makes it irrelevant from this perspective. This is absolutely wrong, but unfortunately, there is very little research on the effects of head massage.

I somewhat shifted from my initial intention, and I started to write about other massage therapy modalities and techniques. I still think that head massage is highly overlooked as a therapeutic tool, although is not targeting the same medical problems as Swedish massage and deep tissue.
