What is an Indian Head Massage?
Indian head massage or 'Champissage' is a relaxing therapy based on the ancient Ayurvedic healing system, and has been practised in India for over a thousand years. Indian head massage involves working with a firm and gentle rhythm to help unknot blockages and relieve uncomfortable build up of tension.
The effect is not just physical but also works on an emotional level too, calming the spirit, relaxation and relieving stress. Indian head massage focuses on the parts of the body that are most prone to tension and stress; scalp, face, neck, arms, shoulders and upper back.
