Reflexology for the head

You've heard about foot reflexology, but what about head reflexology? Scalp and hair treatment centre Vesure Hair Therapy believes it's about time to bring this obscure therapy into the mainstream. "Just like the foot, there are pressure points (on the head) that are connected to different organs in the body," says therapist Linna Lim, who studied head reflexology in Taiwan for six months. Vesure is said to be the only place in Singapore to offer such a treatment.

A 45-minute session is priced at S$58, and starts with a herbal shampoo and blow-dry. Ms Lim then does a head massage using her fingers, before gently running a pair of gua sha tools across the scalp to stimulate acupoints on the head.
