Therapies | Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage or 'Champissage' has been a tradition with Asian people for thousands of years. Indian infants receive a daily massage. Indian women massage their hair with luxurious smelling oils, and Indian barbers will include a simple head massage during your visit. Today an Indian Head Massage involves a varying combination of gentle, soothing, brisk and stimulating movements to the upper back, neck, shoulders, upper arms, head and face.

Indian Head Massage is wonderfully relaxing and energy giving, calming and revitalising, nurturing, cleansing and comforting. It is a simple, effective and versatile massage treatment carried out either with carrier oils (with or without pure essential oils) directly onto the skin, or performed over clothes.

Tensions in the muscles most affected by stress are eased, alleviating and reducing stress related conditions such as headaches and migraines. The treatment assists lymphatic drainage and circulation providing more oxygen to the brain, encouraging higher levels of alertness and concentration. Hair and scalp condition can improve by relaxing and stimulating the scalp and nourishing the roots of the hair.

Champissage can relieve chronic neck and shoulder stiffness often brought about by poor posture. It can help unblock deep knotted muscles in the neck and shoulders. This type of massage is also very good for increasing the circulation, toning up muscles, relieving eye strain, headaches, improves concentration, boosts the immune system and generally reviving your body.

Indian Head Massage uplifts you psychologically - rebalancing you physically , mentally and emotionally. It helps counteract the stress and strains of modern day living, leaving you with a sense of well being and relaxation.
