I had read a thread on here when I first joined about scalp massage. If I'm remembering correctly (which I may not be) I thought it suggested 3 to 5 minutes or as long as you can comfortably tolerate it.
I just use the pads of my fingers and massage my scalp whenever I remember during the day. Once or twice. It's especially beneficial when I've got a tension headache.
I do hang my head upside down if the cat's not in the room with me. And afterward, my scalp feels warm and a bit tingly, so I guess that's how I know something's going on.
I don't know if there's been any benefits other than headache relief, yet. But headache relief is always a good enough reason for me.
