Indian Head massage
Indian Head Massage ,IHM, as the name suggests has its origin in India & dates back to 600 BC.
The treatment was brought back to Britain in 1973 by an osteopath & massage therapist Narendra Mehta. He had been blind since birth and developed a highly sensitive power of touch. He realised massages in the UK did not include the head and he returned to India to research the physiological benefits of IHM.
