More information

What's Included

A focused, restorative treatment tailored to how you feel on the day.

  • Consultation to identify your concerns and pressure preference.
  • Slow, rhythmic scalp work to release tension and boost circulation.
  • Detailed neck and shoulder massage to ease knots and stiffness.
  • Gentle attention around temples and jaw to reduce headache and jaw tightness.
  • Techniques adapted for comfort, with light oil or dry work on request.
  • Calming breathing cues and simple stretches to help the relief last.

Who It's For

Ideal when stress gathers across the shoulders, desk or driving posture causes stiffness, or screen time leaves your head and neck heavy. It is especially helpful for tension headaches, jaw clenching and that wired feeling that makes it hard to switch off.

If you prefer refined, unhurried care and results that feel natural, this treatment suits you. It can also complement a hair appointment when you want to leave feeling polished and noticeably lighter.

Duration & Appointment Timing

Available as a shorter reset or an unhurried session for deeper release. Your therapist will recommend the right length after a brief consultation.

Please allow a few moments before and after for check-in and aftercare advice. It works well as a midday pause or an end-of-day unwind.

Aftercare & Maintenance

Drink water and take it easy for the rest of the day. Avoid heavy exercise and alcohol for a few hours. Gentle warmth across the neck and shoulders can extend the relief.

Roll your shoulders, breathe slowly and stretch the neck lightly over the next 24 hours. A brief fingertip scalp massage before bed can support better sleep.

For ongoing ease, book more often during busy periods, then maintain with regular appointments every few weeks. Your therapist will tailor a plan that fits your lifestyle.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I expect during the treatment?
A short consultation sets the focus and pressure. Your therapist then works across the scalp, neck and shoulders using slow, soothing techniques. You leave with simple aftercare tips.
Will I need to undress and will my hair get oily?
Upper back and shoulders are treated with professional draping for comfort. Light oil may be used, though dry techniques are available if you prefer to keep hair product free. Share your preference at consultation.
Is this suitable during pregnancy?
Often suitable with adaptations. Please tell us if you are pregnant so we can adjust positioning and pressure. If you have complications, seek advice from your midwife or GP first.
Can it help with tension headaches or migraines?
Many clients find relief from tension headaches, jaw tightness and screen strain. While not a medical treatment, focused work can ease muscle tightness and reduce common triggers.
How often should I book for best results?
When stress is high, weekly or fortnightly sessions can help reset patterns. For maintenance, a regular appointment every few weeks works well. Your therapist will guide the ideal frequency for you.
