indian head massage
also known as Champissage, is a form of massage that originated in India over 1,000 years ago. A holistic therapy that involves massage of the head, face, neck, shoulders, and upper back.
Indian head massage is believed to have several benefits, including reducing stress and tension, improving circulation, promoting relaxation, relieving headaches, and migraines, and improving sleep. It is also thought to stimulate the lymphatic system and promote the release of endorphins, which are natural painkillers.
It is generally safe for most people, although it is not recommended for people with certain medical conditions, such as infectious skin diseases, head injuries, or recent surgery. It is important to choose a qualified and experienced practitioner to ensure the massage is carried out safely and effectively.

What to expect:
During an Indian head massage, your practitioner will use a range of techniques, including massage, acupressure, and stretching, to relieve tension and stress in the muscles of the head, neck, and shoulders. The massage typically begins with the upper back, neck, and shoulders, and then moves on to the scalp and face.
It is a deeply relaxing treatment and requires no oils or equipment, making it a very accessible treatment, perfect for newcomers to massage. It is usually done while seated and through light clothing.
