Place both of your hands at your hairline, spread your fingers, and run your nails from your forehead to the back of your scalp. Doesn’t it feel amazing? Imagine how much better it would feel if you received a professional scalp massage from a trained masseuse. There are few simple pleasures in this world that are so relaxing and rejuvenating, but scalp massages do more than just feel incredible; they also offer a variety of impressive benefits. Here are just a few:
- A Lifted Mood. The world we live in is full of traffic jams, crying babies and stained silk blouses. Those everyday stresses add up, and they have the potential to undermine the poise of even the most graceful woman. Scalp massages offer fast relief. In fact, scalp massages are so relaxing that some people even
like to meditate while receiving one.
- Pain Relief. Just as a full-body massage releases tension in tight muscles, scalp massages can relax contracted muscle tissue and relieve pressure on the nerve endings in the head. This is especially helpful if you suffer from migraines or headaches, which tighten muscles and restrict blood flow. Once your muscles loosen up and normal circulation is restored, your pain will be much more manageable. It may even disappear completely.
- Restful Nights. Since scalp massages can reduce pain and lead to a more relaxed mood, many people find it much easier to fall asleep and wake up rested. The increased blood flow can also aid concentration and help you get your second wind during a long and demanding day, and it’s a much healthier option than chugging a sugary energy drink.
In some areas of the world, scalp massages are so popular that salons include them with every haircut. The Western world has yet to fully embrace the healing powers of this traditional technique, but you can experience one for yourself simply by visiting your nearest Burke Williams location. A scalp massage comes with our Thermal Seaweed Wrap and our Emilee’s Intrigue treatment, so schedule one toda and sit back and relax while your tension melts away in minutes.
