shoulders; the sterno-cleido-mastoid muscles of the neck;
the sensitive occipital region at the base of the skull;
the masseter muscles of the jaw; the temples; and the suture
joints of the cranium.

helps to promote higher levels of alertness and concentration.
Tension in the muscles is released, dispersing toxins, reducing
mental and physical stress, and improving blood flow to the
brain.
In
short, it is a wonderfully relaxing and stress reducing therapy.
