Why you can trust SCMP
Peggy from H.R. won't approve your leave application, you've been berated by your boss, and slimy Winston from I.T. just 'accidentally' brushed past you at the photocopier. Not a great morning. You can feel that tell-tale stress-induced tingle at the back of your neck. What you wouldn't give for a head massage right now. Well, if you have your own office, or access to a conference room, you can have one there and then. Find three other equally tense colleagues and Maria Hussain (tel: 9700 4294, [email protected]), an exotic half-Indian, half-Mancunian professionally trained masseuse, will pitch up at your place of work and perform relaxing Indian head massages.

She has visited offices all over Hong Kong, including a trading floor where the bankers insisted on being massaged at their desks while they continued doing deals on the phone. She has also done baby showers, junk trips, a bride and her bridesmaids the day before a wedding, and even a bar during cocktail hour. Massages cost a mere $120 for 20 minutes, or you can buy a package of four for $480 and get one free.

No equipment is required and you don't need to undress. Hussain brings music to help set the mood, then you simply close your eyes and zone out while she massages the head, neck, shoulders and upper arms.

After that you'll feel ready to face the world again, or at least tell Winston where he can shove his portable zip drive.
