Do I need to wash my hair before or after?

Arriving with clean, dry hair is ideal. If oils are used, leave them in for about an hour before washing. A full dry technique is also available if you have plans after the session.

Is this a full-body massage?

No. This is a targeted cranial session that includes the neck and shoulders as support zones. For full-body treatment, combine it with Traditional Thai or Aroma Oil sessions.

Does it help with Sinusitis?

Yes. We target acupressure points around the brow, nose, and cheek areas to support sinus drainage and reduce pressure.

Head & Scalp Massage: The Ultimate Cure for Stress and Tension

In a world dominated by screen time and relentless travel, the head and neck become primary storage zones for stress. For travelers arriving in Bangkok or professionals working in Chiang Mai, Head and Scalp Massage is not only a luxury treatment, it is a neurological reset. At Indy Massage, we use focused cranial techniques to release deep tension, reduce chronic headache patterns, and help your body synchronize with its environment.

The Anatomy of a Tension Headache: Why Your Head Thumps

The scalp is covered by a strong connective tissue layer called the galea aponeurosis. Under stress, dehydration, and poor sleep, this tissue can tighten and compress local nerves and vessels, amplifying headache intensity.

Cranial pressure-point treatment targeting temples, forehead, and occipital tension zones.

Our therapists target the main pressure valves of the head and neck:

Temporalis: Side-head muscles often tied to jaw clenching and temple throbbing.
Occipitals: Base-of-skull muscles that commonly refer pain behind the eyes.
Frontalis: Forehead muscle linked to heavy-brow fatigue during long workdays.

The Circadian Reset: Scalp Massage for Jet Lag

International travel disrupts melatonin rhythm and elevates stress chemistry. Scalp stimulation helps drive a parasympathetic shift and supports sleep onset when your internal clock is off schedule.

Lowers Cortisol: Reduces the wired-but-tired state after flights.
Stabilizes Vitals: Rhythmic cranial work supports calmer heart-rate and blood-pressure patterns.
Improves Sleep Depth: Many guests report immediate, restorative sleep after evening sessions.

The Indy Scalp Protocol: A Multi-Sensory Approach

Cervical Opening: Neck-base and sub-occipital release first to improve cranial flow.
Myofascial Scalp Release: Skin-rolling and circular friction reduce fascia binding against the skull.
Acupressure Stimulation: Focus on crown, brow, and temple points to clear mental load.
Cooling Finish (Optional): Menthol balm or light scalp oil for heat relief and follicle circulation support.

Why Outcall is Essential for Headache Sufferers

In-room head massage setup optimized for low-light, low-noise migraine recovery.

If you are already in pain, travel stimuli often make headaches worse. Outcall treatment gives you full environmental control during recovery:

Light Control: Dim to the exact level you need.
Sound Control: Work in silence or your preferred calming audio.
Zero Transition: Once symptoms drop, you can rest immediately without commuting.
