Indian Head Massage
Indian Head Massage is the ideal stress-busting treatment for anyone who is suffering from aching shoulders, a tight neck, tension headache, eye strain, insomnia, or poor concentration. It is a safe, simple yet effective therapy renowned for relieving symptoms of stress.
Champissage, created and trademarked by Narendra Mehta, is the modern version of this cultural tradition. Mehta, a physical and manual therapist, took the Indian tradition of family head grooming and massage and added massage of the neck, face, and shoulders, as well as energetic aspects including shiatsu. Utilizing the knowledge of mind, body, and spirit is what makes Indian Head Massage so effective.
What to Expect
A typical Indian head massage treatment, usually starts with the application of oils to the upper back, working into the shoulders working around the shoulder blade as these areas hold a lot of tension. Following this, flowing motions will move up the neck massaging and stretching to relieve any stress and tension. Finally, oil is applied to the scalp and is then massaged along the acupressure points on the head, followed up by the forehead and the area around the eyes. In a longer session arms are also massaged. You will feel very calm, relaxed and blissful.
