By massaging the head and neck headache can be easily eased, reaction time can be significantly reduced and concentration can be improved. Due to stress, incorrect posture, lack of exercise the neck muscles and shoulders become stiff and cramped. In this cramped condition less oxygen rich blood accesses the brain, namely the brain’s blood supply deteriorates. Stimulation of the scalp boosts blood circulation and increases the oxygen and nutrition supply of the area and thus it has a beneficial effect on the brain.
