INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE

Indian Head Massage, also known as Champissage™ (champi stands for the Hindi word for head massage), focuses on treating the patient through conducting massage techniques on the head and on the areas surrounding it such as the face, neck, upper arms and shoulders. It uses gentle massage strokes on these parts to stimulate the nerves, loosen up tight muscles and relax superficial tissues.

Indian Head Massage has been practiced in India for over 1,000 years. It was originally developed in India by women who gave head massage to their family and friends. Over time hairdressers and barbers began to offer head massage to both their male and female customers as it complimented their main service. It was then introduced in England in 1978 by Narendra Mehta who developed his own unique therapy which not only focuses on the head of the client but also on the face, neck, shoulders and upper arms.

The client is asked to sit comfortably in a chair during the therapy and doesn’t need to undress to receive the treatment.
