An Indian head massage lasts approximately 30 to 45 minutes.

It is a treatment that focuses on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck, and shoulders, often using circular massage strokes to improve hair and scalp condition.
A typical Indian Head massage treatment usually starts with the shoulders, working into this area especially as it often holds a lot of tension. The upper back may also be massaged working around the shoulder blade. Following this, flowing motions will move up the neck massaging and stretching to relieve any stress and tension. The scalp is then massaged along the acupressure points on the head, followed by the forehead and around the eyes. the upper back and arms are also massaged.
