Indian Head Massage London:
Head, Neck and Shoulders
Some tension only ever settles in one place. Across the shoulders, up the back of the neck, into the scalp.
Indian head massage gives those areas the whole appointment. Purple Mighty brings it to your home or workplace across London, and you can stay fully clothed for it.

Your head, neck and shoulders get the whole session
If you have had a full body massage and wished the neck and scalp part had lasted longer, this is that part given the entire appointment.
Your therapist works through the upper back and shoulders first, then the upper arms, then the neck, then the scalp, and finishes at the forehead and temples. The touch changes as they go. Broad, slow strokes to begin. Firmer kneading through the shoulders. Small circular work at the base of the skull, where a day at a screen tends to gather. Steady, unhurried contact across the scalp, then quiet pressure at the temples.
Pressure is set by you, not by the treatment. Some people want firm work on the shoulders and something much lighter on the scalp. Others want the reverse. Say what feels right at the time and your therapist will adjust.
You can sit in a comfortable upright chair or lie down, whichever you prefer. Tell us which when you book.
Stay clothed, with or without oil
You do not have to undress for an Indian head massage. The work can be done through comfortable, loose clothing, which makes it a straightforward treatment to have at your workplace, or on a day when you have somewhere to be afterwards.
Oil is your choice, and your therapist asks before starting. Ask for it and they use it through the scalp and across the shoulders. Ask for a dry session and they work without it, so you can go straight back to your day without washing your hair first. If you do want oil work on your shoulders and upper back, you stay covered apart from the area being worked on.
Your therapist brings the oils: coconut, almond, argan and grapeseed, mostly unscented, with lavender if you would like a scent. Tell us in advance about any allergy or scent preference.
Choose the therapist who comes to you
The person giving your massage matters, and you can ask for someone in particular. Browse the profiles, tell us who you would like, and we confirm the therapist and an estimated arrival time before the appointment. If the session suits you, you can request the same person next time, subject to availability.
Have a preference for a male or female therapist? Say so when you enquire. Around 30 to 35 therapists work with us across London, and most cover Central plus the area they live in.
You do not have to work out every detail first. Send your postcode and a preferred date and time, say that you are looking for an Indian head massage, and we will come back to you with who is available.

Indian head massage prices in London
Choose a 60, 90 or 120 minute appointment. The rate is the same whichever therapist you choose.
Travel is additional. The minimum charge is £15 during the day and £20 at night. Send your postcode when you enquire so we can confirm the travel cost and the full price for your appointment.
60 minutes is our shortest booking, and there is no 30 minute option. An hour covers the whole sequence without hurrying any part of it, and leaves room for the short conversation about pressure and problem areas that comes first.
90 minutes buys another half hour in the same areas for £20 more during the day. Choose it if your neck and shoulders usually want more than one pass.
120 minutes is the longest booking we take, and a long stretch of time for the head, neck and shoulders alone. Tell us how you would like the extra time used when you enquire, and we will confirm what your therapist can do within the appointment.
You pay on arrival, and no card is needed to book. See our full massage prices in London for other treatments.

Start your booking online
Use our online booking service to arrange the visit, with your postcode, preferred date and time and session length ready. If you would like help choosing, message us first.
We confirm the details
Your confirmation includes the therapist and an estimated arrival time. Agree the full price, including travel, and any table request at the same time.
Your therapist arrives
They talk with you about pressure, the areas you want worked on and anything to avoid, then set up wherever you are most comfortable.
What you provide
A clear space, an upright chair or somewhere to lie down, clean towels and somewhere to wash hands.
Afterwards
Take a minute before you stand up. If you have had oil through your hair you may want to wash it, so allow for that if you are going out.
Comfortable from the first visit
Your therapist explains what the session involves before starting. You can ask for lighter or firmer pressure, skip an area, or stop the treatment at any point.
Purple Mighty provides professional massage therapy and wellness treatments only.
Therapists work under our company public liability insurance, and we hold right-to-work documents for everyone, plus copies of certificates where they hold them. That is an employment check rather than a criminal-records one, and we do not run DBS checks. We would rather tell you that than let the word "vetted" suggest something we have not done.
We cannot treat over a fever, active inflammation, an active skin condition on the scalp, neck, face or shoulders, or a diagnosed DVT. We also do not offer massage during the first trimester of pregnancy. If you have had recent surgery, have an acute injury, or take blood thinners, contact us before booking so we can talk through suitability and any GP clearance you may need. Standard practice also rules out treatment during an acute migraine episode.
Indian head massage, or a full body treatment?
The difference is coverage. Indian head massage stays on the head, neck and shoulders for the whole appointment.
Choose Swedish massage if you want a flowing, full body session with oil, from the shoulders down to the feet. Choose Purple Classic, our combination of deep tissue and relaxation work, if you want firmer attention on tight areas across the whole body. Reflexology also works one focused area, the feet and lower legs.
Still deciding? Tell us where the tension sits and we will talk it through before you book.
Where Indian head massage comes from
The treatment comes out of the Ayurvedic tradition in India and reached Western practice in the 1970s, which is where the seated, clothed form most people recognise today took shape.
You may also see the name Champissage. That is a trademarked method taught by one particular school. It is not a general term for Indian head massage, and it is not a qualification Purple Mighty claims.

Indian head massage: your questions answered
Do I stay dressed, and is oil used?
You can stay fully clothed, sitting or lying down, and oil is your choice either way. Ask for it and your therapist uses it through the scalp and shoulders. Ask for a dry session and they work without it, which suits anyone going back to work afterwards.
How long is a session, and is there a 30 minute option?
Sessions run 60, 90 or 120 minutes and there is no 30 minute booking. Sixty minutes is our shortest appointment and covers the whole sequence at an unhurried pace, with a short conversation about pressure and problem areas before your therapist begins.
Do I need a massage table at home?
Not necessarily, since this treatment can be done sitting in an upright chair. If you would rather lie down, ask for a table when you book and leave clear space for one. Tables are brought on request rather than as standard.
Can I book an Indian head massage in the evening?
Yes, subject to therapist availability. Day rates apply until 11pm and night rates from 11pm to 8am. Appointments between 2am and 7am need arranging in advance, while our customer service team is available.
How much does an Indian head massage cost in London?
Daytime rates are £65 for 60 minutes, £85 for 90 and £115 for 120. Night rates are £95, £120 and £150. Travel is added on top, with a minimum of £15 during the day and £20 at night. Send your postcode for the full price.
What if I need to cancel or change the time?
Contact us as soon as your plans change. A cancellation fee applies if you cancel after your therapist has started travelling. Ask us for the applicable fee and cancellation terms when you arrange the booking.

What are the advantages of getting an Indian head massage?
During a head massage, the muscles around the head respond to touch and this helps in reducing muscle tension and stress. A good head massage can be beneficial in many ways– improve sleep, reduce migraines and headaches, be great for healthy hair, control sinus congestion and help with hormonal headaches arising from menstruation and menopause.
How much does an Indian head massage cost?
You can book a 60-minute Indian head massage for £70, a 90-minute massage for £90 and a 120-minute massage for £120 between 8am-11pm.
After 11pm until 8am, a 60-minute Indian head massage will cost you £100, a 90-minute massage will cost £120 and a 120-minute massage will cost £150.
Is it ok to get a head massage often?
While a daily head massage can improve blood circulation to your head and brain, it may also lower your heart rate and help you relax. It is advised that those with certain medical issues like high blood pressure avoid Indian head massage.
You also should not get head massages if you have undergone a recent head, neck, or back surgery, or if you have a history of thrombosis, embolism, or spondylitis.
Head massages are considered good for those with cancer, heart disease and diabetes. However, a recommendation/consultation from a GP is preferred prior to taking the massage.
How is an Indian head massage performed?
A therapist will focus on massaging the trigger points along your head, neck and shoulders. They may use facial pressure points to relieve sinus conditions as well.
At times, oils are used depending on the purpose of the massage. In traditional Indian head massage, oil is considered to have therapeutic and healing properties.
What are the side effects of a head massage?
Although head massages are associated with promoting relaxation and reducing tension, some of you might feel tired and want to take a nap. This is quite normal. You may also experience muscle pain and slight headaches. The urge to urinate will increase as the massage can help in removing body toxins. Side effects of the massage include tension in the scalp and loss of hair. If performed aggressively, there is a possibility that you will suffer from dizziness and nausea.
