Scalp and head massage at Andrea Massage and Spa is a relaxing session focused on the scalp, temples and neck to ease tension headaches and promote calm. It is a favorite with clients in Little Neck, Douglaston, Great Neck and Bayside who spend their days at a screen and feel the tightness gather at the back of the head.
The massage takes place at our studio on Douglaston Parkway in Little Neck, NY. Your therapist asks where your headaches tend to begin and how firm you like the pressure, then works at a pace that suits you. Clients who review us on Google describe the therapist as professional and highly recommend the massage.
Fingertip Pressure from the Hairline to the Neck
Slow fingertip circles move across the entire scalp, from the hairline to the crown and down to the base of the skull. Gentle pressure at the temples and forehead follows, and the session finishes with light kneading through the neck and upper shoulders, where much of the tension that reaches the head begins. Many clients find their eyes close and their breathing slows early in the session.
