INDIAN HEAD MASSAGE 

Indian head massage, also known as champissage, is a treatment that focuses on massaging acupressure points along the head, neck, and shoulders to relieve physical and mental tension.

​

Indian head massage can not only reduce headaches and improve physical well-being, but it can also improve physical, mental and emotional health.

​

It originates from Ayurveda, (translated as the ‘science of life’), whereby it is believed that the mind and body are intricately connected and thus can influence one another.

​

Indian head massage is an ancient therapeutic practice that has been used in India for over 5000 years, and requires no oils or equipment, making it a very accessible treatment, perfect for all ages.

 

It is usually performed while seated, and through light clothing.
