Shiatsu

As a change from head massage you could try shiatsu, an old Japanese massage style that, like head massage, works on the chi energy in the body to relive stress and promote relaxation.

Like head massage, it is done fully clothed but involves lying down while the whole of your body is massaged. The idea is to stimulate and improve the energy flow using the same energy channels that are used in reflexology, head massage, acupuncture and acupressure.

There are various forms of shiatsu but most last around an hour and so are similar in length to a reflexology session. The benefits from shiatsu are very similar to those of reflexology and Indian Head Massage in that they are a holistic treatment designed to improve and stimulate the body's self-healing and rejuvenation as well as clearing energy blockages.

But, as well as relaxation and the other benefits, shiatsu can be used for a variety of similar problems and, if you are interested, contact a practitioner and discuss your specific problems with them.
